Priorities & campaign themes: “I'm Wes Peterson, a software engineer in East Lansing, and I am running because I want to offer real solutions to the problems we face as workers. Problems that don't get solved because the donors and leaders in the two-party system benefit from leaving them unaddressed.” (Campaign website)
Priorities & campaign themes: “Workers are more productive than they have ever been, but we are not seeing any of the productivity gains returned to us. In fact, our quality of life is decreasing. Wealth is concentrating into fewer and fewer hands while those who own this wealth continue to demand more. Instead of addressing inequality, the government is lobbied by paranoid billionaires to deploy AI surveillance tech to protect their wealth.” (Campaign website)
Priorities & campaign themes: “Democrats and Republicans aren't interested in addressing these issues because they are funded by the same people that cause them. A working class party runs candidates who are not funded that way, so we can say what neither party will say and put demands on the table that neither party will make.” (Campaign website)
Economy, jobs & cost of living: “CEOs and politicians rig the economy to siphon our wealth. We can lower the cost of living by cutting out the middlemen who create problems just to sell us their solution.” (Campaign website)
