"I've had the honor of knowing Sheriff Michael Poulin for over four decades. From the academic setting of high school, the competitive forum of athletics, the personal elements of being both single men, then married men, later family men, and now as professional men. Michael Poulin has never disappointed me.
Michael handles his business with professionalism, with intelligence and with integrity. And as we all know, his professional business is the business of all of us in Muskegon County. As Sheriff, he has taken the office to a new level of respect.
I am aware of some impressive statistics regarding Michael's tenure as Sheriff, but there is more to law enforcement than stats. At some point, it comes down to the standard one holds himself to, and the standard to which he holds others. Michael's high standard is shown in how he deals with others, how he handles his business and the respect shown to him by others.
I am not a political person, but I am compelled, honored and proud to endorse Michael Poulin's re-election as Sheriff of Muskegon County."

"Mike Poulin is a leader, a man of his word. Mike's over 28 years of police work, public service and commitment to our community has prepared him to be our Sheriff.”
Steve Warmington City of Muskegon Mayor January 2002 - June 2012 ------------- “I remember when I first met Michael Poulin. He was a young officer starting his career in Law Enforcement. Michael was very eager to learn and his demeanor was already that of a seasoned officer. When Michael started with the Sheriff’s Office, I had the pleasure to ride with him. I knew then, he would be a great asset to the Sheriff’s Office in the years to come. My first impressions of Michael came true during his years with The Muskegon County Sheriff’s Office. Michael was a great patrol officer and moved up the ranks at a steady pace learning quickly in every job he held. When Michael took command of the traffic unit, the Sheriff’s Office received awards every year because of his knowledge and his commitment to make Muskegon County one the state’s leaders in traffic safety. As Michael moved up in rank, every position he held made Muskegon County a better place to live. I feel Michael Poulin would be a great Sheriff, and serve the community with the utmost respect and care, as he has shown his entire Law Enforcement career.” George Jurkas Muskegon County Sheriff, Retired 33 years ------------- “Leadership is more than a title or a job. It is a quality effective people possess and utilize to develop people, communities and programs; it is action, not words. As a community member who values quality leadership, one of the qualities that matters most is the ability to lead with the heart of a true servant. Anyone can obtain a title, but the work that is required to make the title have meaning is what truly matters. “I have appreciated the work that Mike Poulin puts in for the advancement of our community. He possesses all of the necessary qualities that will ensure our Sheriff department in Muskegon County will restore faith in our law enforcement system. Mike has extensive experience in collaborating with other agencies throughout our State to enhance the quality of service the citizens of Muskegon County deserve. He has been a leader in organizing the program to safely dispose of medication to prevent prescription drugs from entering our water systems and endangering our citizens. Anyone can hold the office, but not just anyone can do the job. The work required calls for a candidate with Solid Experience, Expertise, a proven record of Effective Leadership, Integrity and Service. Mike will work to restore high standards, trust, sense of value for our community, transparency and accountability. Muskegon needs a leader who can work to make Muskegon County a leader in law enforcement, innovation, and progress. Join me as I exercise my right to vote Poulin for Sheriff of Muskegon County on August 2nd.” Sonya M. Hernandez, Ed.S Community Member ------------- "I had a lunch meeting with Michael Poulin, a candidate for Muskegon County Sheriff...

Richard Ciezak, Past President; Utility Workers Union of America; Consumers Energy, BC Cobb Plant. ------------- “As a member of the Muskegon County Fire Service for 29 years I have avoided publicly endorsing local candidates. This year I cannot idly stand by and hope for the best outcome. Due to many factors and ultimately out of concern for the overall safety of our communities I know that Michael Poulin is the right person to provide professional, honest and sincere leadership as the Muskegon County Sheriff. Please join me August 2, 2016 and vote for Michael Poulin for Muskegon County Sheriff!” David E Glotzbach, Fire Chief ------------- “I have dedicated much of my life to this community and have had the privilege of holding many different leadership positions. I have also had the honor of watching leaders come and go—some good and some who didn't quite fulfill the role in the way we all hoped they would. To me, a strong leader is consistent in their decision-making, does not put their ego before the common good, is loyal to the community they are serving, is honest and puts the safety of the people first--always. On August 2, 2016, I am voting Michael Poulin for the office of Sheriff of Muskegon County because I believe he holds those qualities I value. Mike has the experience and the heart to help me continue to make my community stronger and safer. Join me in electing Michael Poulin for the office of Sheriff.” Ivory Morris, Former Fire Chief, Muskegon Heights ------------- “As we move into these final days before the August election, I urge all of you to join me in voting for Michael Poulin for Sheriff on August 2. Mike brings professionalism and integrity to the Sheriff’s Office. Most importantly, Mike is committed to our community and working together with all others to make our County better, safer, and stronger. Mike brings refreshing new ideas and is forward thinking rather than being content with the status quo. As a former County employee, I know Mike Poulin to have a great sense of honesty and caring as a law enforcement officer. As a lifelong resident of Muskegon, I welcome his progressive views and look forward to having Mike serve as our Sheriff. We need more public officials like Mike Poulin who place community ahead of politics as usual.
