DISTRICT ASSOCIATIONS:
Although Casperson represents only 3 of the District's 31 counties, he is already well established throughout the
District, and has unique knowledge of the issues and dynamics of the District, for a number of reasons, including:
- He is the only elected Republican legislator (State and Federal) from the Upper Peninsula (which comprises
nearly one-half of the District's counties). In fact, he is one of only five Republican legislators in the entire
District. As a result, necessity has required him to take an active and visible role promoting conservative
causes throughout the District.
- His willingness to travel the District, logging on average 7000 miles each year outside of his District, but
within the First Congressional District, to meet the people & address the issues facing the District.
- The positive relationship he has built with the media. Casperson has annually been featured on as many as:
- 38 radio shows (not merely daily news interviews) ranging from local stations in the District, to Lansing
and metro Detroit stations, to Sirius Satellite Radio; - 10 television programs (again, minus regular station nightly news interviews) ranging from Marquette to
Fox News in New York; and - quarterly newspaper editorial interviews (again, minus regular nightly news coverage), and op ed
submissions, in papers as diverse as the Escanaba Daily Press to the Detroit Free Press.
- His tireless work ethic, leading him to regularly attend everything from Eagle Scout ceremonies, to Lincoln
Day Dinners, to classroom visits, to Township meetings.
Additionally, to promote and tackle issues facing the First District, Casperson has brought over 50 of his legislative
colleagues into the District.
