Dan VandenHeede, a retired teacher, Niles City Councilman, and Democratic candidate for State Representative in Michigan’s 78th State House District, nearly quadrupled his Republican opponent in fundraising this past quarter.
“This campaign has always been about bringing together a coalition of people from all sides of the political spectrum who believe that change can happen and are sick of politics as usual. This fundraising quarter, in which 70 percent of my donors contributed $50 or under, proved that we have the support and momentum it takes to go all the way,” VandenHeede said.
Brad Paquette, the current Republican incumbent in the 78th District, raised $3,650, whereas VandenHeede brought in $14,376. Both are vying to represent the District located in the Southwest corner of Michigan, spanning southern Berrien County and a portion of Cass County.
“I’m running a grassroots, people-oriented campaign in the community I’ve lived in my entire life. People from across Southwest Michigan have sent a clear message that they’re ready for change, and recognize that sending a teacher and community leader to Lansing is the best way to make that change possible. From increasing funding for our public education system, to rebuilding Michigan’s economy after this COVID-19 pandemic, I’ve been a proven problem-solver in this District and I can’t wait to represent it and continue to work on these issues come November,” VandenHeede said.
This is the best fundraising quarter for any Democratic candidate in Michigan’s 78th State House District in over a decade. Paquette and VandenHeede will face off in the general election on November 4th.
