Source topic or question: Health care

Candidate campaign source

Healthcare should be a right, not a privilege. With all of the chaos, corruption, and confusion emerging from Washington, D.C. — where elected officials are ripping away Medicaid for hundreds of thousands of people, women's health care is under attack, and many Michiganders have to travel across multiple counties just to get to their doctor, a Democratic Governor in Michigan will be the last line of defense against the failings at the federal level. But I don't just want to be on defense. I want to make sure Michigan knows I have their back when it comes to getting them the quality, affordable care they need.

Candidate campaign source

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.

Source topic or question: Establish the Patient Protection & Corporate Accountability Initiative

Candidate campaign source

Michigan’s Attorney General already has civil enforcement responsibilities involving antitrust, consumer protection, and charitable trusts. The office’s Health Care Fraud Division investigates and prosecutes Medicaid provider fraud and abuse or neglect in residential care facilities. The Department of Insurance and Financial Services (DIFS) regulates insurance and administers Michigan’s external-review process for eligible health-insurance denials. I will connect those existing lanes through a formal, interdivisional health-care accountability initiative.

Source topic or question: Limited Government and Individual Rights

Candidate campaign source

Government should do less. Your rights are not negotiable. Christine believes the proper role of government is narrow and well-defined: protect individual rights, maintain essential public services, and enforce fair and consistent laws. When government overreaches — regulating personal choices, picking economic winners and losers, or expanding bureaucracy for its own sake — it undermines the freedom and self-determination that make communities thrive. Over a decade in healthcare have given Christine a deep appreciation for constitutional rights and the dignity of every individual. She believes all Michiganders deserve equal protection under the law — regardless of background, belief, or circumstance. Government should be a neutral referee, not a player with its thumb on the scale.

If our democratic system doesn’t work, we lose the most important tool we have to really solve the problems every Michigander faces from unaffordable childcare, housing, and healthcare.
