BAY CITY -- US Rep. Pete Hoekstra brought his campaign for governor to Bay City on Friday. He arrived at Michigan Sugar Company as a worker for the day, part of his "100 jobs campaign" where he performs 100 jobs in various Michigan industries. Hoekstra worked in the sugar factory as he talked with workers about issues the next governor will deal with.

Hoekstra also met with small business owners at Midland Street Jack's Bar and Grill, talking about everything from job creation to health care.


"I think the next governor not only has to have a vision for Michigan, but they have to have the capability to implement it, which means they have to have a resume that says I understand business principals.
