Wall Street Journal 9/17/07
“Mr. Anuzis is doing exactly the right thing to bring Republicans back to majority status in Michigan.”

AP Profile 2/3/05
“His blue-collar background is similar to that of many Michigan Republicans, despite the party’s country club image.”

Hour Magazine “The Insider” May 2007
“Anuzis…doesn’t pretend to be anything other than the bright, self-made businessman and political junkie who believes passionately in the pull-yourself- up-by your-bootstraps ideology of Newt Gingrich’s Conservative Opportunity Society.”

University of Michigan-Dearborn “Legacy” Alumni Magazine June 2007
“Politics, campaigning and networking provided the passion he was looking for in a career, despite his studies in economics.”

MIRS Capitol Capsule, Wednesday, October 17, 2007
