Priorities & campaign themes: “Then I am not your candidate, and you should vote for someone else.”
(Campaign website) Elections, voting & government reform: “But if you are looking for the opposite in a candidate, please browse my campaign website, consider the issues I raise, ask questions, and consider voting for me this November.”
(Campaign website) Priorities & campaign themes: “One of the most important foundational phrases ever written at the dawn of any nation. Unfortunately, after two and a half centuries of struggle to fulfill such ideals, they seem to be at risk or nearly eliminated today. As both Michiganders and Americans, we need to renew our vows to these ideals more than ever and do all we can to ensure that everyone, no matter who they are, can savor them, as is their inalienable right. Central to my campaign is my commitment to working tirelessly to ensure and restore everyone's freedom of self-determination, privacy, and property security.”
(Campaign website) Education & schools: “I am a steadfast resident of Wexford County, and my family lineage in the area dates to the 19th century. My journey includes a stint in the US Army, entrepreneurship, and a role as a former college instructor. These diverse experiences have instilled in me a profound commitment to my family, community, and the cause of human rights.”

Priorities & campaign themes: “I’m running because Michigan needs a new generation of leadership—people who understand the challenges ahead and who are ready to work with every generation to move the state forward. Combining fresh perspectives with long-standing experience leads to better outcomes for the people we serve. That collaborative approach is the kind of leadership I will bring to Lansing.”
(Campaign website) Economy, jobs & cost of living: “For years, I’ve seen friends, classmates, and young families leave Michigan for greater economic opportunity. It’s a reminder that our state can, and must do better. I’ve experienced many of the same challenges, and I want to support those who hope to build their lives and futures here at home through common sense legislation.”
(Campaign website) Priorities & campaign themes: “The issues that are facing our great state, and our residents future.”
(Campaign website) Energy, environment & water: “The state has gained too much power, which needs to be reigned in. I will work with my colleagues to amend PA233, which gives local control on Solar Farms back to local governments. The MPSC has too much authority, and should not be able to dictate how rural areas govern.”
