“I'm focused on lowering the cost of living for all Michiganders because that's what keeps my wife and I up at night, and I know that we aren't alone. I hear the difficulties rising costs are creating for West Michiganders, and I see it in the data: over 1.6 million Michigan households struggle to afford basic necessities. The good news is that we don't have to live like this. We can choose a path of prosperity, opportunity, and progress that makes life more affordable for all Michiganders, delivers high-paying jobs, and ensures our children's futures are brighter than our present.”

“I am deeply passionate about protecting parental rights, securing our elections, and defending the sanctity of life. Additionally, I am focused on regulatory reform to unleash Michigan's economic potential and ensuring our state government remains transparent and strictly accountable to the people, not special interests.”
