I see opportunity for Michigan

I see a Michigan filled with endless opportunities for our young kids to go to sleep dreaming about.

I see those kids waking up with an opportunity to go out and make those dreams a reality.  


Today we have an opportunity to make that happen!  I have wanted nothing more than to make the world a better place since returning from Iraq in December 2007.  This is my opportunity to start doing just that, but I need your vote.  


I bring ideas, solutions, experience, and integrity.  Most importantly for me, failure is not an option.  


When elected my initiative will produce tomorrow's political and business leaders.  Under my initiative the worlds's best doctors, scientists, leaders, and people will be made in Michigan.

Made In Michigan Initiative

Education

College and job head start

All graduating students will be required to attend college classes and/or job transition during their final semester under the guidance of life coaches. Michigan high school graduate unemployment should be zero.

Financial literacy and adult life transition

If we want to set our kids and Michigan up to thrive we need to provide them the proper tools. All Michigan students will start school with long term stock and retirement accounts they will manage through K-12 and beyond through MIstocks.

Smarter, more effective education spending

We need to realize and appreciate the impact our schools have on our future. Increasing teacher compensation, eliminating homework, modernizing Michigan schools, and curriculum reform is my priority.


Housing

Build energy efficient, low income housing

Offer repair grants for low income first time buyers

State down payment matching for first time, low income buyers


Infrastructure

Roads

Invest in advances in road materials for stronger, sustainable, more environmentally friendly roads.

Communication networks

Too many rural areas of Michigan lack adequate connectivity. We need to invest in  advancements in orbital communication to connect all of Michigan to the world.

Modernization

We need to prepare Michigan for for the rising number of electric vehicles.  More charging stations and incentives for businesses to add charging stations and connected roads.


Manufacturing

Robotics

Robots have steadily become a necessity in our modern world.  Many michigan schools have robotics programs, but lack local jobs to match their skills and interests.   Offering small business grants to next generation industries will help spark the next industrial revolution.

3d printing and microchip manufacturing

As manufacturing technologies progress and emerging commodities grow in demand we need to offer subsidies to help these new industries find a home in Michigan. Everything in our society needs microchips to work. These are permanent, high paying jobs.

Batteries

Electric vehicles and modern power systems are growing in mass adoption.  It is important that Michigan grow from its roots in car manufacturing to capitalize on new and emerging technologies.


Healthcare

Incentivize and subsidize Primary Care Doctors to skip the insurance

Insurance companies profit margins are higher than ever. They change their algorithm annually to deny as many claims as possible. Leaving you with the bill, no coverage, and another policy premium.

Expand State Healthcare to all ages 0-26 and 62+

We owe it to our citizens to ensure they start their lives as healthy as possible and are well taken care of in old age. We can not continue throwing away billions in inefficient spending while ignoring this very basic responsibility to these most vulnerable groups.

One body, one plan

Require all health insurance plans in Michigan to cover vision, dental, and general health together in one comprehensive plan. Michiganders should not need 3-4 different types of insurance for one human body.


Artificial Intelligence and Data

Tax digital data flow

Trillion dollar companies are trillion dollar companies because of your private data.  They need to compensate users or stop collecting your data without permission. If they can pay shareholders a dividend then they can pay you a dividend.

Michigan AI and Data Protection Agency MIAID

The Federal government has failed to protect our private data from private companies.  Creating MIAID will protect consumers information and protect online identity.  MIAID require advertisers to pay users for access to their data and enforce protections for those who don’t.

Modernize traffic system

Investing in smart traffic systems will reduce idling, maximize commerce efficiency, and add next generation connectivity to every road in Michigan.


Social Strength

Basic hygiene vouchers for SNAP recipients

A silent problem for too long.  Many families struggle to provide for these very basic needs.  

Eliminate personal income tax for incomes below $25,000 per year

People are taxed to the brim. It’s time we give our most vulnerable people a chance to get ahead.

Community College reimbursement

Nothing in life is free, but hard work should be rewarded. We need to set our citizens up for success early on and incentivize higher education pursuits.


Crime

Tougher punishments for crimes against children

Tougher punishments for repeat sex offenders

Tougher punishments for repeat violent offenders


Animal Protections

Increase punishments for animal dumping

Require breeders to be licensed and inspected

Mandatory minimums for animal neglect, abuse, and cruelty
