Candidate for Michigan State Representative in the 56th District names his son, Donald (Donnie), Kniffen his campaign manager. After months of tireless dedication and assistance on the campaign trail, proud father and candidate Dave Kniffen officially names his son, Donnie as his campaign manager. In doing so, Donnie, age 10, arguably becomes the world's youngest campaign manager. Candidate Kniffen, in his announcement, noted that Donnie has been on this journey with him since filing and has dedicated his time and efforts to advancing this run for office in every way. Donnie has knocked on doors, passed out literature, attended events, and helped place signs.  

     Being a low budget campaign, any and all volunteer help is appreciated, however Donnie has taking relentless steps above and beyond what is asked to help this run succeed.

     "I cannot fully express how incredibly proud I have to both have Donnie by my side helping me, but to call him my son. There is no paid worker I could get the same dedication out of, it is truly an honor to take on this challenge as a team, and nobody better to have my back while trying to reach the goal!"
