BALANCING SCHEDULE OF ACTIVITIES IS WAY OF LIFE FOR FAMILY MAN

Allegan, Michigan – October 6, 2008 –  Forty-one year old, unmarried Republican candidate for State House of Representatives, Bob Genetski, has obviously never had to juggle a family schedule of extracurricular activities.  Cub Scouts, music lessons and youth sport commitments usually dominate the evenings of most working families.  Church activities, community volunteer responsibilities, golf leagues and other hobbies all take up space on the family weekend calendar, too.

“In spite of the time constraints that come from juggling kids and career, Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin managed to debate her opponent Joe Biden last week on national television.  Bob Genetski should take note of how she managed to do that”, says Tom Clark, District 88 Democratic candidate for State House Rep.

Clark raised two active sons while working at a job that required extensive travel.  While Clark knows it’s not possible to be in two places at one time, he learned it is entirely possible to manipulate precious available time in order to please differing factions demanding his attention. Clark has forty years of experience balancing business and family obligations.

When elected, he will take this skill and others to Lansing in order to get the job done because he understands how important the time and resources of a working family are.
Clark understands, too, that the tensions caused by unemployment and hard times can tear families apart.  He will spend all of his available time making District 88 a more prosperous place for families to live, work and play.
