I rise today to honor former Congressman Guy Adrian Vander Jagt. who passed on June 22 at 75 years old. Although I prevailed in a contested primary election with Congressman Vander Jagt in 1992. I hold him in the highest regard for his gifted oratorical skills and his ability to advance the cause of the Republican Party. Congressman Vander Jagt was born in Cadillac on Aug. 26. 1931 to Dutch immigrant Harry Vander Jagt. a livestock dealer and rancher. and his wife Marie. He began preaching at Tustin Presbyterian Church while still a student at Cadillac High School. By the time he graduated from our mutual alma mater.
