Economy, jobs & cost of living: “I will be a voice for small business. I am the picture of small business. I own small businesses and have been counseling small business on financial and growth issues for 23 years. Our small businesses have been struggling the last 3 years and I know what it takes to start a small business and navigate an increasingly hostile regulatory structure.”
(Campaign website (via Ballotpedia)) Education & schools: “I will be a voice for parents. The Covid shutdowns and the increasing politicization of the classroom have exposed legitimate questions about the focus of our public schools. Parents deserve a say in that discussion. We need to be focused on “best in class curriculum” and not advancing a progressive social agenda in our schools. We already have a massive literacy and math gap in FHS and other schools within the District.”
(Campaign website (via Ballotpedia)) Public safety, crime & policing: “I will be a voice for public safety. Crime is rising throughout the state. Eight cities in Michigan are among the 50 most violent in the country. I oppose defunding the police. I oppose reducing the number of officers on the street. I oppose the elimination of cash bail so there’s more criminals on the streets. I oppose making it easier for the criminals to sue the police through elimination of qualified immunity.”
