Elections, voting & government reform: “What was accomplished in the democracy space on the state level here in Michigan has provided a perfect example of how state legislatures can act to protect their residents from the systematic dismantling of our rights and protections on the national level. Being part of this fight for our democracy is what is driving Melanie to run for the state legislature”
(Campaign website) Economy, jobs & cost of living: “Michigan families deserve a government that understands the financial pressures they face every day and acts to relieve them. From housing and groceries to prescription drugs and utility bills, costs are rising faster than many families can keep up. Working families are doing everything right and still struggling. We need practical solutions that lower costs and help people build economic security.”

Economy, jobs & cost of living: “In terms of economics and jobs we need to rebuild our national industry and expand and improve our energy grid. Tariffs and strong borders will help raise wages and make housing more affordable. As we grow the real economy, we can eliminate the deficit and pay off the national debt.”

They were repaving the roads in the neighborhood for a few days, and I quickly expanded from lemonade to pop, iced tea, and even a few beers (with Grandma's permission). Total success!”
