Priorities & campaign themes: “Hi, I’m Kelly Breen, and if you live in the 21st District, I’ve been proudly representing you in Lansing since 2020. My goal from day one has been to help us find common ground and make our state and our lives even better—together.” (Campaign website)
Abortion & reproductive rights: “During my time in office, I built upon my record of bipartisanship and have passed a number of laws to benefit all Michiganders . From reforming our criminal justice system, to protecting seniors and children, to ensuring economic opportunities for anyone willing to step up, and a 5x recipient of various “Legislator of the Year” awards, I have a record to be proud of. As chair of the House Judiciary Committee, I helped shepherd through bills codifying reproductive freedom, ensuring LGBTQ+ rights, and both wrote and passed common sense firearm legislation.” (Campaign website)
Economy, jobs & cost of living: “Although I’ve spent the past nearly six years striving to make a positive impact on our communities, there are so many other matters that need attention. Affordability and the economy, inflation, growing issues with AI and data centers, climate change, school safety and student preparedness, and infrastructure are all at the top of concerns. As your voice in the Michigan Legislature, I want to hear from you about what matters most in your neighborhood and community.” (Campaign website)
Priorities & campaign themes: “I entered public service to advocate for our communities and our citizens, and I appreciate the opportunity to represent all of us in the Michigan House.” (Campaign website)
