"Ouimet, in his first two-year term, has worked hard to build bridges and navigate the churning waters of county politics. At a time when tempers flared over handling of the sheriff's patrols, Ouimet maintained a calm that helped mitigate some of the more searing verbal volleys. Ouimet has been active in networking across party lines, within the business community and in other community groups, including work on the boards of the Wasthenaw County American Red Cross and Wasthenaw United Way."
