Has earned re-election

Grand Traverse County Commissioner Chris Maxbauer has done a very creditable job.

She has been a distinctive voice on the Grand Traverse County Commission.

The positions which she takes are based on careful study of the issues.

Consistently she is her own person and makes her decisions thoughtfully.

She definitely represents the interests of the residents in her commissioner district.

Additionally, she evaluates the issues as they impact all of Grand Traverse County and expresses this in her voting record.

Commissioner Maxbauer was first elected in 2006 and has shown that she has earned re-election.
