I'm running for State Senate to be a voice for our entire community and bring our priorities to Lansing.”

Priorities & campaign themes: “I am a Journeyman Electrician with the IBEW Local 58 and a lifelong Michigander. For most of my adult life, I have been a worker in construction, warehouses, and industrial workplaces. I understand what it means to work hard, and like many other working-class people, I know the feeling of that hard work not being fairly rewarded.”

Education & schools: “A portion of my response regarding data centers at the District 9 Candidates Forum hosted by the League of Women Voters of Troy on October 8, 2026. Other issues relevant to Michigan voters discussed at the forum included education, healthcare, federal overreach, and protecting vulnerable individuals from electronic fraud.”
(Campaign website) Priorities & campaign themes: “Being politically independent means taking every issue at face value and making decisions based on facts, data, and understanding who will be directly impacted. There is no base to cater to. There is no national office telling me what to say or how to vote.”
(Campaign website) Economy, jobs & cost of living: “Instead of jumping on conference calls with partisan colleagues, my decisions will be influenced by conversations with those in the district most affected by our laws: teachers, nurses, small business owners, the elderly, and so many others.”
(Campaign website) Housing: “Most importantly, I'm running as an Independent because the current two-party system puts party interests over people. In fact, current state senators in Lansing vote with the majority of their respective parties an average of 95% of the time, according to records compiled by MichiganVotes.org.”
