As many of you have noticed, I've been relatively incommunicado here at RightMichigan lately.  I've been here, reading, geeked by the interaction and the daily updates so many of you have been providing but I haven't been participating the way I used to.

Almost every single day for nearly three years I've blogged here on RightMichigan and I've loved (almost) every minute of it but over the last few months I slowly came to a realization... I've still got the "bug."

There are important things going on in this state and in this nation and as critical as blogging is, I'd started jonesing for a more all-engrossing, full-time experience... a chance to be a part of a team, doing big things on a professional stage to make Michigan the sort of state we all know she can be.

I stepped back, saw that RightMichigan was in great hands... YOUR hands... and eventually decided to take the plunge into a fantastic opportunity.

This week I began work in Lansing as the new Deputy Director of Communications for Attorney General Mike Cox.  

My relationship with the AG goes back to 2002 when I interned on what remains THE surprise campaign of the last decade and I've been a big fan ever since.  It's rare in politics to find a candidate or a public official who doesn't just talk the talk but actually walks the walk.  Mike's one of the few.  And I'm proud to be a part of his team.

My fandom aside, I should note that RightMichigan is, was and will remain an open forum for everyone on the Right side of the political spectrum.  If you're worried that the site will start shilling for one primary candidate to the exclusion of everyone else... don't.

First of all, I'm going to work for the Attorney General, not the campaign. Second, press staff from the Bouchard, Cox and Hoekstra campaigns... heck, the candidates themselves, all remain welcome here on RightMichigan and have full posting privileges.  

Most of all, I want to say "what's up" to each and every one of you who continue to make RightMichigan THE resource for conservatives in the Great Lakes State.  I may have been the face but this site's never been about me. It has ALWAYS been about you.  So don't go anywhere... heck... participate more often.  

And if you're ever in Lansing, give me a shout!

Thanks again for everything you're doing.
