Energy, environment & water: “Worked on a bipartisan plan to combat noise pollution with sound barriers along I-75, backed by $10 million in funding” (Campaign website)
Taxes & budget: “I ran because I had spent 28 years in local government watching Lansing spend money it could not account for. So when I got to Appropriations, I did the unglamorous thing. I read the 1,545 page budget. Then I started asking where the money went.” (Campaign website)
Taxes & budget: “That work has a name now. H.E.A.T. is law, and every earmark in the state budget has to go public 45 days before anyone can vote on it. We cut more than a billion dollars of waste out of the budget, and the money went where it belongs: schools in Sterling Heights, Troy, and Madison Heights, local roads without raising anyone's taxes, and police in our neighborhoods.” (Campaign website)
