Yooper. Mom. Engineer and business owner. Your 110th district candidate for state rep. Vote for me in November.

[Gretchen Whitmer @gretchenwhitmer]

My friend @JanetMetsa is running to be the next State Representative in Michigan’s 110th House District. Janet is a fighter, and will bring real change to Lansing. I’m proud to endorse her, and encourage you to vote for her in the November 3rd election!

White supremacy, rioting, and looting are bad. I condemn all of those things. Easy! Now we can talk about how the executive and legislative branches can improve education, healthcare, and the economy. @GovWhitmer

@rysn40 Arthur Metsa was my father's cousin (son of my father's brother) so I believe that makes him a second cousin.

Arthur Metsa's name at #Veteran's Park inspires me. Hard to believe Confederate flags waved on the lift bridge 2 weeks ago under a statue of a Union soldier from the #Houghton Company. I'm proud my family fought against fascism in Europe. We'll show the same #sisu here today.

#Covid has proven that #UniversalHealthCare is necessary, internet is a utility not a luxury, and MANY jobs can be done remotely. #Michigan could easily import prescription drugs from Canada to save Michiganders money. Rural #broadband access is possible. Let's flip the house.

I'm proud to receive the endorsement of Emily's List today. They do great work advising and supporting women candidates. Thank you @emilyslist!

I went K-12 at the old Chassell school. The Michigan constitution says we have to fund three things: public schools, roads, and prisons. Why is Markkanen sending taxs to charter schools? There are none in the 110th district. Is that for Betsy Devos or students in the Western UP?

Here I am doing the two things I dislike most: asking for money and getting my picture taken. But I'm doing it. This is the only spot "in" the house with reliable cell coverage. I'm glad I'm not doing this in January.

[Friends of Janet Metsa @JanetMetsa]

Democrats can take back the Michigan state House in 2020. Read this to the end. We lost the 110th district by just 1.6% last election. It's one of most likely to flip. https://t.co/zWyJfs6nR6

You got that right @JohnMcCormackMA. Metsä means "forest" in #Finnish. My grandmothers never learned English (that's why it's called a mother tongue, whereas fathers learned English). Growing up on a dairy we bathed in a #sauna. Imagine us 5 Metsa girls shampooing in a sink!

[Friends of Janet Metsa @JanetMetsa]

Excuse me @JohnMcCormackMA but we're not looking for a close loss in the #HD110.

[Friends of Janet Metsa @JanetMetsa]

We can do this. #yooper #localgovernment #bethechange #VoteBlue #Democrats

This Trump+19/Schuette+6 seat in the Upper Peninsula was held by Democrats before Markkanen flipped it in 2018. Janet Metsa out-raising him has to give some UP Dems hope!

[Friends of Janet Metsa @JanetMetsa]

Just put my #COVID19 recovery plan on my website https://t.co/Xz5bW5wt3k. The 5 points: provide facilities to work remotely, upgrade infrastructure, seek federal and state aid (not reject it as Markkanen did in house bill 267), support affordable healthcare, promote UP tourism.

A year ago this month @MIHouseDems introduced House Bill 4701. The bill would limit what a Michigan resident is required to pay for insulin. Thank you @RepCambensy109 for introducing the bill. But the Republican house wouldn't move on it. Let's turn the 110th blue. #BlueWave2020

[Friends of Janet Metsa @JanetMetsa]

I'm just gonna put this here...

[MI House Dems @MI_Dems]

"A third-generation UP resident, entrepreneur, and environmental champion, Janet Metsa is a great candidate for Michigan’s 110th.

[Friends of Janet Metsa @JanetMetsa]

I was so happy to take the call from @GovWhitmer congratulating me for the #primary. I told her I'll work really hard to win this race because she could use the support downstate!

[Friends of Janet Metsa @JanetMetsa]

Congratulations Dana Ferguson @FergusonforMI1 for an impressive #primary win. I'll be proud to #takeithome with you in November. The 1st Congressional District and the 110th State District deserve better representation in Washington and Lansing! #PrimaryElection #Michigan
