Zoe Clark, co-host of Michigan Radio's It's Just Politics, speaks with Governor Snyder about his reelection victory.
The Michigan Republican Party is happy in Michigan and across the country.
Governor Snyder says his re-election is confirmation that they’ve been on the right path and now is the time to accelerate on that path.
Governor Snyder said his re-election gives him a strong mandate from the people as a public servant to act on their behalf.
One of the first issues he wants to tackle is wrapping up comprehensive transportation funding, and to then improve career tech education to increase employment opportunities for Michiganders.
Discussing the race and campaigning, Governor Snyder said he doesn’t view himself as a career politician. He says he dislikes the way a lot of politicians behave.
Governor Snyder feels a lot of campaigning is too negative and lacks in civility and respect, something he wouldn’t put up with in his workplace or family life.
With regard to working with the State House and Senate, Governor Snyder says it’s not about partisanship, but better work for people.
When asked if he was considering running for another office in 2016, Governor Snyder said he was honored being re-elected yesterday by the state of Michigan, but didn’t dismiss the thought.
