AUDIO: On the Campaign Trail with State Rep. Mark Ouimet

Dexter Patch is launching a new audio series profiling newsmakers in the community in order to connect our readers more intimately with local leaders. "In Their Words" will feature interviews with politicians, business owners, actors, entertainers, athletes, and ordinary citizens.

The series kicks-off this week with a conversation with state Rep. Mark Ouimet. We caught up with Mark on the campaign trail following Tuesday's primary election in Michigan.

Ouimet is the incumbent Republican representative serving the 52nd District, and will face Democrat of Saline during the general election.

Hear what the state representative has to say about the economy, jobs, and education before taking time to answer some of our readers' questions submitted via email.

Next week we will feature our interview with Driskell from the mayor's office in Saline.
