“Starting your own business is a challenging task, especially staring, one as a female in a male dominated industry. Mark Ouimet is exactly the kind of person we need more of in Lansing. Mark has always been a supporter of local business and an advocate for women entrepreneurs. In my opinion a vote for Mark is a vote small business and a vote for women in business”

“We need someone in Lansing who has a business background. More importantly a Representative who understands the unique hurdles small business owners must overcome. In my opinion this person is County Commissioner Mark Ouimet. I have experienced firsthand Mark’s dedication to Michigan and to WashtenawCounty. He has always been a supporter of small business and an even larger supporter of women in small business.”

” Not nearly enough people realize how important the arts are, luckily for residents of Washtenaw County County Comissioner Mark Ouimet is not one of those people. Mark realizes that the knowledge and skills developed via the arts is part of a well rounded education. Mark is also well aware that the arts provide a solid economic foundation for thriving communities in the 21st century. Supporting Mark is supporting the Arts, and the development of creativity in our children so they can compete in local economies and culture now…and in the global markets of the future.”

Government should remove hurdles

Heritage Papers - June 19, 2010 - “Guest Column: Government should remove hurdles”

By Mark Ouimet, Guest Writer

A Gallup poll last fall found that the number of people who say there is too much government regulation of business and industry has reached its highest point since Gallup began asking the question in 1993.

In the new survey, 45 percent say there’s too much regulation, while 24 percent say there’s too little and 27 percent say the amount is right.

Considering how a lack of regulations led to the country’s housing crisis, this may come as a surprise to some.

But many of us in Michigan understand completely. Read more…

Heritage Papers - June 16, 2010 - “Grillin’ for Food Gatherers draws big crowd”

By Gerald LaVaute, Heritage Newspapers

When it comes to celebrations that help worthy causes, longtime supporters of Grillin’ for Food Gatherers will tell you this one is near or at the top.

Ann Feeney of Chelsea described the June 13 fund-raiser as “a feel-good event,” and that she kept returning to bid on one of the many auction items, an opportunity to take a baking class at Zingerman’s Bakehouse.

“It’s just a great event,” she said, adding there must have been 200 or more volunteers.

Mark Ouimet of Scio Township called it a true community event where people come together to help their neighbors.

“It’s a wonderful time,” he said, adding that the “best part is raising money for food for people who really need it.” Read more…

Red Cross at the Chelsea Fire Dept

Red Cross at the Chelsea Fire Department – May 28, 1010

written by: Marian Pascu| American Red Cross Public Affairs Intern

Spring for W4 Country’s Breakfast with Bubba Show means parties every Friday at a different firehouse in their listening area. The parties bring attention to the many firefighters that risk their lives on a day to day basis to keep us safe. This year Breakfast with Bubba started their journey in Saline on Friday March, 19^th and ended at the Chelsea Fire Department last Friday May, 21^st.

The American Red Cross supported this event by bringing the Emergency Rescue Vehicle out to the firehouse. Michelle Roderick, Jim Reisinger, and Mark Ouimet were out representing the American Red Cross Washtenaw County Chapter, teaching people about fire safety and informing them how the Red Cross can help incase of a local disaster.

With the help of Key Bank, Suburban Chevrolet/Cadillac, and Servpro every spring Bubba and the crew set out to different firehouses around the Washtenaw County area. It was amazing to see all the people that came out to support the Chelsea Fire Department. Although it was a rainy day everybody still had fun meeting their local heroes and chatting on the radio with Bubba. Ironically as soon as the Breakfast with Bubba Show concluded the sirens in the station went off and everybody had the opportunity to see these firefighters in action. It was truly and memorable experience.

SO WE WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY THAT CAME OUT TO SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL FIREFIGHTERS THIS YEAR AND A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU TO ALL THE FIREFIGHTERS OUT THERE KEEPING US SAFE!
