The difference between Michigan's 25th State House district candidate is stark.

Nate Shannon has been hard at work fighting to ensure all Michiganders can live full, healthy lives.
Paul Smith is dangerous and unfit for office. Learn more about Smith and Shannon's records before you turn in your ballot for the November 3rd General Election.
Paul Smith, Republican Challenger
Paul Smith is one of the most extreme politicians running for office in Michigan with a long history of racism, xenophobia, homophobia and misogyny.
Paul Smith has called for the the murder of hundreds of thousands of American Muslims and was investigated by the Secret Service for calling for the execution of President Barack Obama. Paul Smith said, “[President Obama] Should Have Been Charged With Treason, Removed From Office, Tried, Convicted, Beheaded And Had His Head Shown On A Spike, Like Any Traitor.”
The dangerous fanaticism doesn’t end there. Paul Smith is also extreme in his opposition to reproductive rights. Smith advocates for extreme abortion bans and has attended protests outside of Planned Parenthood health centers.
Paul Smith is unfit for office and his radical agenda is dangerous.
Vote AGAINST Paul Smith by November 3.
