Issues
The issues facing our community aren’t complicated. Costs are too high and too many systems aren’t delivering. This campaign is focused on real solutions that make a difference in people’s everyday lives. That means lowering costs for working families, expanding opportunity, and making sure government works for the people it’s supposed to serve.
Cost of Living Guarantee
If the cost of living goes up, a new child is welcomed into your home, or you or a family member becomes seriously ill, working families shouldn’t fall behind. I will fight to make sure wages keep up with real costs, and tax credits and financial supports working families need are available to them. We must stop the trend of hardworking Michigan families falling further behind every year.
Universal Childcare
Childcare costs are out of control, l often costing as much as rent. And, that is if you are even able to find an opening. Quality, affordable childcare isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity for working families in our state
Healthcare for All
Healthcare is a right not a privilege. I support the MI Care Act healthcare for all in Michigan and will vote to make it law. It guarantees coverage for everyone and uses the state’s bargaining power to bring down costs, including prescription drugs.
Every family deserves a place to call home.
I will invest in truly affordable housing, support first-time homebuyers, and push back on corporate speculation driving up prices so families can stay in their communities.
People Over Corporations
I support the Money Out of Politics ballot initiative because I don’t believe regulated utility companies or large government contractors should be making campaign contributions to the same elected officials responsible for overseeing them. That’s a basic conflict of interest, and it undermines public trust. I support stronger transparency and accountability laws so people can have more confidence that decisions are being made in the public interest not based on political donations.
If corporations take public dollars, they should deliver for the public.
I will require prevailing wages, support skilled trades and union jobs, and prioritize local hiring on publicly funded projects. And when companies don’t deliver, they will be held accountable because our tax dollars should work for us, not just boost profits.
We spend billions treating illness we should invest in preventing it.
I will expand Michigan’s existing Food is Medicine programs, partnering with healthcare providers and community organizations to improve health outcomes and lower long-term costs.
A job isn’t a real opportunity if you can’t get there.
I supports building a stronger, more reliable regional transit system, including the Regional Transit Authority of Southeast Michigan, to connect people to jobs, school, and opportunity across Metro Detroit.
