Issues
Smart solutions don't wait.
​
The political playbook of the last forty years doesn't cut it anymore. It's time to innovate.
Education
​One of the core functions of government is to ensure every child has access to a quality education. We need more teachers and less administrators. A functioning society needs critical thinkers, so children should be taught how to think, not what to think–education, not indoctrination. We have to embrace parents’ rights. Parents are the number one advocate for their child’s education, as they know their child better than anyone. We also need to expand educational pathways other than four-year degrees: we can partner with industry to provide direct pathways to well-paying, sustainable employment.
Healthcare
Michiganders face ridiculously high costs for healthcare and prescription drugs. We can combat this by promoting the use of Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). These accounts allow individuals to save and invest money on a pre-tax basis to pay for qualified medical expenses, giving them more control over their healthcare spending. Beyond that, we need to do better by our aging seniors and permanently disabled. Many spouses and family members give up working hours to care for their loved ones. We should give caregivers refundable tax credits to cover expenses like respite care, home modifications, and medical equipment.
Protecting Women and Girls
​Progressives have been eroding the rights of women in the name of gender ideology. This has to stop. Men have no right to play in women’s sports. This is fundamentally unsafe and unfair. Boys have no right to go in the girls’ locker room. Women and girls deserve private spaces for protection and peace of mind. As your representative, I will never compromise on the safety of women and girls.
Together, let's fix Lansing.
Local Control
Democrat activists want to take away local zoning control. This cannot happen. The character of our neighborhoods should be decided by their community members, not Lansing bureaucrats. Radical attempts to outlaw single-family zoning pose a serious threat to property values. As your representative, I will stand strong against these attacks on the American Dream.
Conserving Pure Michigan
​Michigan’s forests and lakes are a national treasure. The Great Lakes are the lifeblood of Michigan’s tourism industry. I will work to provide local communities the resources they need to protect these natural wonders, ensuring Michiganders and other Americans alike can continue to enjoy our beautiful outdoors. This includes supporting clean water initiatives, protecting endangered species, and preserving biodiversity in our forests.
Immigration
Legal immigrants are critical in creating jobs and growing the economy for Michiganders. Nearly half of Fortune 500 companies were founded by immigrants or the children of immigrants. We should support the best and brightest who respect our culture and laws in moving to Michigan. This must be paired with strict enforcement on illegal immigration. By fostering innovation and cultivating talent, our state will attract more job opportunities for all Michiganders in the long run.
