Jackson, MI—Congressman Tim Walberg (MI-07) today announced that Carter Gough, who just completed his sophomore year at Grand Ledge High School, is the winner of the 2016 Congressional Art competition for Michigan's 7th District. Carter received first place for his stippling ink drawing entitled "Salvador Dali," a portrait of artist Salvador Dali.
At first, he started taking medication to cope with his depression, but it eventually led to opioid and heroin addiction. After several stints in and out of rehab, Christopher is now clean and in recovery.
Walberg, R-Tipton, represents Michigan's 7th District.
The Jackson County students receiving nominations from him and offers of admission to a U.S. military academy are:
• Duncan Farrant – U.S. Naval Academy. He is the son of Billy and Cindy Farrant and a Hanover-Horton High School graduate.
