Under Governor Whitmer, innovative and promising economic plans have started and show great results.

I will continue to build on their success while remembering:
• Michigan has many resources to build on such as excellent universities, a history and base of technological expertise and hard-working Michiganders.
• The Make in Michigan MIIMCF should be used to attract manufacturing investments in EV production, semiconductor production, defense and aerospace industries.
• I will employ targeted tax relief for seniors and working families. This could take the form of rolling back the retirement tax and expanding the Working Families Tax Credit.

​​

All programs must be ruthlessly examined and re-examined for effectiveness and financial stewardship. I will support:

• RX Kids, providing direct financial support to expecting mothers and families during a child's first year when it demonstrates measurable improvements in maternal and infant health.
• The MI Tri-Share Child Care Program, making childcare more affordable by sharing costs among employers, employees, and the state, while helping parents remain in the workforce.
• The Great Start Readiness Program, expanding access to high-quality early childhood education with a proven track record of preparing children for long-term success.
• Programs that demonstrably reduce financial burdens, improve health outcomes, and strengthen working and underserved families, while remaining accountable for measurable results and responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars.

• The Building Blocks Agenda, a comprehensive approach to strengthening early childhood development and supporting families, including targeted tax relief for households with young children, while ensuring every component delivers measurable results and responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars.​​​​
