#232: Meet a Local Michigan Democratic Candidate Chris Banks

Cellar Door Skeptics are resurrecting their local candidate series interviewing local candidates who are running this year. Christopher Banks joins us to talk about his run for the 90th District in Ottawa County. Christopher was on the show a couple times in the past and we are delighted to talk about his platform, why he is the candidate to help change the district, and what his plans are once he gets into office.Here is his Bio.“With over 20 years of manufacturing experience, I have seen and experienced first-hand the impact our legislative body has on driving the state's economy. As an ordained minister, I have counseled and encouraged individuals through all kinds of situations. I understand the role that our legislators play in the lives of citizens: from the 'right to work', socio-economic stresses, education inequity, mental health and the cost of health care, to threats to our environment and natural resources.I am running for office because I believe all households, working class or otherwise, deserve to be heard. It is our American right to live a healthy and prosperous life.I learned early on the value of money, what it means to 'do my part', and the necessity of community. My mother taught me the importance of hard work and treating every individual with respect -- attributes I will put to work for you. As your state representative you can expect me to work hard for you and 'do my part' to advocate for well-paying jobs, robust educational opportunities , small business entrepreneurship, health, safety and your well being.”Subscribe: http://www.spreaker.com/user/cellardoorskepticsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/CellarDoorSkepticsRSS Feed: https://www.spreaker.com/user/8326690/episodes/feediTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/cellar-door-skeptics/id10Website: http://cellardoorskeptics.comStitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/cellar-door-skepticsPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/cellardoorskepticsPayPal: https://www.paypal.me/CellarDoorSkepticsIntro Music: https://aloststateofmind.bandcamp.com/Links----------https://www.facebook.com/cbanksfor90th/https://sites.google.com/view/cbanksforthe90th/[email protected]: @cbanksfor90thInstagram: @cbanksfor90th----------ABOUT CHRISTOPHER BANKSResident of Holland for more than 26 years.Over 20 years in manufacturing; 10 years in the automotive industry.Ordained minister.Born and raised by a single mother in Memphis, Tennessee.Blessed to support various charities: Helen DeVos Children's Hospital, Kid's Food Basket and St. Jude's Children's Hospital, among others.Here to "do my part" in establishing our great state as a beacon of hope----------https://www.spreaker.com/user/8326690/black-history-monthhttps://www.spreaker.com/user/8326690/schipper-and-banks-putting-the-d-in-demo----------QuicksaveHanna: Fruity Seedshttps://www.fruitionseeds.com/Tanner: Online Festivals and Conferenceshttps://www.gencon.com/onlinehttps://wacken-world-wide.com/
