“I’m voting for Suzi Kanine. I really respect a public servant who is out in the community giving back. I see Suzi doing that through her involvement in the Sunrise Rotary Club of Petoskey.”

“I personally endorse Suzanne Kanine as the county clerk for Emmet County. I personally can attest to her attention to detail, efficiency and quality of work both as the Emmet county clerk and also as a volunteer for Northern Community Mediation, a non-profit organization.”

“I’ve been an election worker in Emmet County for 10 years and the training we had for the last election with Suzanne was the best thus far. It is essential to have a clerk who understands contemporary systems and technology during such a transitional time for our state’s voting methods.”

“Through my 20+ years of working at the County Clerk’s office I personally know what it takes to effectively run the office.  Suzi possesses all of the characteristics necessary to be an effective County Clerk.  

The primary characteristics I’ve observed is her ability to adapt and overcome challenging obstacles that she has been faced with since becoming our County Clerk.  She has been a positive leader for our office.  

For these reasons I will be voting for Suzanne Kanine on August 4.”

“I am endorsing Suzi Kanine in her election for Emmet County Clerk. Suzi is dedicated, hard-working, punctual, humble and an excellent communicator. I first got to know Suzi through coaching her 3 elementary age children. Her children are disciplined and coachable, they look me in the eyes and are engaging. A further indication of Suzi’s dedication is her numerous years of military service. Lastly, when Suzi was approached by Judge Johnson about applying for the Emmet County Clerk vacancy she spent a brief period contemplating whether or not she was a good fit for the position and how it would impact her family life. First, Suzi and her husband, Jake, would have to sell their house in Charlevoix County and buy a house in Emmet County. Being a resident of Emmet County is a prerequisite for being the County Clerk. I assisted Suzi and her husband, as their realtor, when they made the move. During this process, I was impressed with Suzi’s decisions, communication and her attention to detail. With these traits and her willingness to serve, Suzi will continue to do an excellent job serving the citizens of Emmet County as the County Clerk. She has my full support.”
