Economy, jobs & cost of living: “Michigan is full of people doing everything right and still falling behind. That’s not a personal failure — it’s a policy failure. My focus is simple: make Michigan more affordable, grow the economy the right way, invest in people, and restore trust in government. This campaign is about competence, stability, and measurable results.” (Campaign website)
Economy, jobs & cost of living: “No one should have to choose between caring for their family and keeping their job. Strong family policy is strong economic policy. My approach: • Support paid, job-protected family and caregiver leave for new parents and those caring for loved ones. • Design policies that work for businesses too, with phased implementation, small-business support, and simple administration. • Use family-friendly policies as a talent retention tool that makes Michigan more competitive nationally. When families are supported, workplaces are stronger.” (Campaign website)
Taxes & budget: “Government only works if people believe it works for them. That means fairness, transparency, and real accountability. My approach: • Reduce the influence of dark money and increase transparency around political spending. • Require timely disclosure so voters know who is trying to influence elections. • Protect voting rights and ballot access so every eligible voter can participate freely and safely. Democracy should be responsive to people — not dominated by money.” (Campaign website)
