Core Values
Why I am Running:
As a teenage boy I was curious about life's problems. As I got older I realized I'd have to put up a fight if I wanted to put my curiosity to use.
​
I knew that if I did not put up a fight, then my curiosity would just be an intellectual pleasure that would accomplish very little for the problems I saw around me.
​
As I sat in the desk of my first journalism class, I made personal vow to do the job without evasion and to never take a bribe and to never let fear keep me from writing or speaking for ethics... law and order.
​
I do not care who violates it.
​
My first news job was in Ludington and I fought until it got me fired.
​
When I think about money, I think of how it could be used to further this battle.
​
Now, we have come to the reason for this campaign.

Sincerely Yours,
Marco

How I fill My Time
United States Postal Service
I've held down the rural routes since August, 2025.
Historical Studies
I love the local especially. My heart, mind, and soul is American History 1492-Present.
I attend Lion's Mountain in Ludington. I have found that our Nation's Founders aligned our Constitution with the Laws of the Good Book.
Church and Bible School
Old Movies
I especially love the classics with John Wayne, Steve McQueen, Paul Newman, Cary Grant... etc.
Life Training
I am 25 years old and my generation has been lost about how life is supposed to go. I have hopes for my generation and I want to lead us. Hopefully, I am just one of many who start to come forth and see that we have important things to say.
I really want to do things like this man did because he taught his church congregations that all people need good content of character... especially to lead.
As a Congressman, this man also argued for Moral Character while he spearheaded the Move for Independence in America.
Pillars:
Price-Outs: Since the COVID-19 Pandemic, people have been getting priced-out of their homes. The result is many are now having live outside of Ludington to work in it. In 2026, the average Price for a House has gone up to $500,000, whereas it was at $300,000 in 2021. As for Apartments, too many of them cost above $1,000.
Traverse-City Transformation: The City's Unified Development Ordinance is their Code-Word for transforming Ludington into their own Traverse-City. I believe that the evidence is in the fact that the Chamber Alliance of Mason County has Traverse City development magazines in their office and I know people privy to a dinner conversation where it was said they want to make our city "a little Chicago."
Tourism vs. Citizenry: We do not have a Happy Medium of job-types and we need a Happy Medium. Only 3,314 of Ludington's residents are employed out of 8,000.
Youth in Politics: Since our City Council remains silent when opportunities arise to defend the rights that our nation's founders set in place, I firmly believe that Ludington is in better hands with honest and eager members of my own generation. Many of us may be rough around the edges, but some of us are eager to learn how to lead... rather than remain silent.
Protect the City from Peddlers: We need people in-office who will research clean-energy, data centers, and other suspicious peddlers who present offers to rob our community's water resources, fertile lands, and general beauty.
