LIVINGSTON COUNTY — Livingston County officials will be recognized for their opposition to gun control policies signed into state law in 2023.
The Livingston County Board of Commissioners and Sheriff Mike Murphy will receive Tenth Amendment Awards from the Grand New Party PAC (GNPPAC), according to a news release.
The Livingston County BOC and Murphy will be recognized at the GNPPAC’s Livingston County Washington Day Dinner scheduled for 6-9 p.m. Monday, Feb. 19, at the Howell Opera House, 123 W. Grand River Ave., in Howell. Attendees can RSVP online at tinyurl.com/gnplivingston.
According to its website, the GNPPAC describes itself as “the North Star for the America First Movement in Michigan, embarking upon an ambitious agenda guided by common sense principles rooted in fundamental truths.” The site also states the PAC is “working to renew the Republican Party from within.”
“It is an honor for our county to receive a Tenth Amendment Award for standing against infringements to our gun rights,” said Livingston County Commissioner Wes Nakagiri, a Republican who represents District Four. “Livingston County is an example of what can be achieved when freedom-loving citizens join together and fight for our God-given rights.”
