A bit of popular alliteration in the Wendzel camp on election night: “Wendzel Wins!”
State Rep. Pauline Wendzel has declared victory, having defeated Democratic challenger Chokwe Pitchford to cruise into her second term representing Michigan’s 79th House District.
Wendzel says, “I want to thank my family, my team, and the thousands of Berrien County residents who put their continued faith in me to serve our community. We worked hard, we left everything on the field, and we took care of business.”
The Watervliet Republican says, “When this term started in 2019, I don’t think anybody could have predicted how it would go. Unprecedented challenges have been met with unparalleled successes, but there is still so much more work to do to recover from this pandemic and build a healthy community and a healthy economy.”
Rep. Wendzel concluded, “Tonight, we won, and we’re going to enjoy our victory. Tomorrow morning, I’m going right back to work helping my constituents receive their unemployment benefits, slashing through the bureaucracy of state government, and advancing common sense legislation that benefits our community.”
