My Views On Key Issues
I will be a strong voice for our community in Lansing.
I will be getting work done for YOU and YOUR FAMILY.
Economy
We live in a very exciting time. A time of incredible technology-driven change in our national and local economies. It is time for our leaders to work together regardless of their party to ensure Michigan and all of its residents thrive in this great technology-driven economy.
We need to transform Michigan, from a one-industry economy to a diverse high-tech economy and make Michigan the high-tech hub of the Midwest. Because a good-paying job, rewarding career, and homeownership is not a Republican or Democratic idea, it's an American idea. Vote for me so I can lead Michigan and the District 11 of the State House of Representatives, into the 21st Century economy.
Public Safety
Public safety is the backbone of every community. Nothing can happen unless you feel safe and secure. I will ensure that our police departments and fire departments have the tools and personnel they need to keep our community safe. I will work to restore state revenue sharing to customary levels with our cities in Michigan State House District 11 to ensure that our Public Safety departments will be properly funded.
Common-sense gun laws
Background checks, red flag laws, and banning assault weapons sales to anyone under 21 are the most effective gun laws we must pass immediately. We can’t stand by while our children die any longer.
​
Public Education
I will work to create a moratorium on all new charter schools and order a full audit of all existing charter schools to account for the spending of public dollars. Benchmark all Charter Schools student performance against their local public school. Restore public school funding to 2011-2012 levels. Schools have lost approximately $16,000 per classroom, in the last two years.
Women’s right to healthcare
​The government has no business interfering in women’s healthcare. I am firmly Pro-choice, and I will champion state laws to protect women’s rights to control their reproductive healthcare.
Senior Citizens
Our senior citizens have done a tremendous job preparing our country for the future. They have worked hard to grow America to the current standards that we have. We do not need to tax their pensions at any rate. I will work to repeal the tax on pensions and fight any attempts in the future to increase taxes on our senior citizens.
Infrastructure
We need to have a long-term plan to fix and improve our roads and infrastructure, so the great state of Michigan, the birthplace of modern mass-produced automobiles, is seen as a leader in transportation infrastructure, and not a punchline for jokes.
