LET’S MOVE MICHIGAN FORWARD. JOIN THE MOVEMENT.
Stronger, Smarter Michigan.
Today, those in Lansing tell us that giving taxpayer money to big corporations will magically improve the lives of ordinary Michiganders.
We know this doesn’t work.
What we need is a Michigan that provides high-paying jobs, gives a helping hand to small businesses and creates a culture of startups and entrepreneurship.
We need to build an economy that works for all of us and not just the wealthiest among us. To do this, we need to end non-productive, corporate welfare and invest in human capital, creating jobs and supporting small businesses.
Together, we will bring a new governing culture to Lansing. We will require ethics and transparency and fight back against the influence of billionaires. We end the pay-to-play era in Lansing.
We will create a stronger Michigan.
Solutions
I am a progressive Democrat and a scientist. And I know that to serve the needs of all the people of Michigan, we need to come together to set a new path forward with common-sense solutions for Michigan’s families and workers.
Issues such as clean water, quality education, roads and infrastructure, and making Michigan work for working families is my priority.
