As a mom, Jocelyn’s north star in this election is making sure Michigan is affordable for everyone so our young people, seniors, and everyone in between can stay and thrive in Michigan. She knows firsthand that government works best when it’s there when you need it, and gets out of the way when you don’t. The cost of living is crushing Michiganders but Jocelyn believes that government can make life easier with the right leader as governor who will use every tool available to expand rural healthcare options, build more housing, take on the utility companies who raise our rates, make childcare free, and ensure our agencies work, so anyone can afford to live in the best place to call home.

Affordability is John’s top priority. He’s committed to making Michigan a place where families can thrive by tackling rising housing costs, lowering the tax burden, and addressing healthcare expenses. John’s vision for Michigan is clear and disciplined: academic excellence, economic opportunity, and safe communities where families feel secure. He’ll put kids and families first when it comes to education, cut job-killing regulations, fully fund and support law enforcement, and prioritize Michigan workers and families. In Lansing, John will audit wasteful DEI programs, eliminate foreign influence in our institutions, and rebuild trust in government.

Our district is the poster child for communities in need of the Green New Deal. It’s no secret to every person in this district that we have lead in our water and some of the most polluted air in the country. No one can be expected to raise a family without clean air & water. My grandmother, my mother, my brother, and I all have the same asthmatic cough that is all too common for anyone who grew up in the shadow of our city’s smokestacks and factories. I’m not willing to let another generation of my family or yours suffer the same fate that we have while the fossil fuel companies who are driving this crisis — like DTE and Consumers Energy — raise our utility prices, make record profits year after year, and buy our politicians’ inaction. It’s time to break the cycle and understand that we need a solution as large as the climate crisis itself. A Green New Deal transitioning to 100% clean and renewable energy, would protect our planet’s future and create millions of good-paying green union jobs in Michigan. It’s also a more efficient and sustainable source of energy that will lower energy requirements and consumer costs, while improving our community’s health and cleaning our air & water. And one critical aspect of that for us in metro Detroit is investment to build and expand public transit, so people have the freedom and mobility to get to work, go to the supermarket, and pick up their kids without having to buy a car and pay some of the highest car insurance rates in the country. We deserve choices that corporations won’t let us have. We’re paying the price for this crisis built by greedy CEOs — but they’re the ones who should be paying to fix it.

Source topic or question: Affordability, taxes, energy, and economic growth

Michigan families deserve a state where hard work goes further and the cost of living is lower. I believe making Michigan more affordable starts with policies that let families keep more of what they earn, reduce unnecessary government costs, ensure reliable and affordable energy, and create an environment where businesses can grow, invest, and create good-paying jobs. Growth is driven by free markets, lower taxes, responsible spending, reduced regulations, and policies that encourage innovation, entrepreneurship, and investment in American workers and manufacturers.That’s why I supported the Working Families Tax Cuts, which put more money back into the pockets of hardworking Michiganders by making the 2017 tax cuts permanent, eliminating taxes on tips and overtime, expanding the child tax credit, enhancing tax relief for seniors, and boosting domestic energy production to help lower costs for families. These policies help make Michigan a more affordable place to live, work, raise a family, and build a future. Under President Trump’s leadership, I look forward to continuing to fight for lower taxes and increased opportunity for Michigan families.
