Priorities
Kristen has the experience to make progress on the big issues impacting our children, working families, retirees and businesses. She’s fighting so that everyone in our Great Lakes Bay will stay, build lives, and thrive here.
Achieving Quality Education for Everyone
No child should lose opportunities because of financial hardship or systemic barriers. Backed by her extensive experience focused on education, Kristen will fight for all children to have equitable opportunities to reach their full potential. We must:
- Make historic investments in our schools from early education to beyond high school.
- Ensure that all teachers earn a respectable wage and that all students are fully funded with what they need.
- Prioritize education as fundamental to create a thriving future for our children, our community and our economy.
Advancing Economic Opportunities for All
Kristen works in bipartisan ways to increase upward mobility opportunities for Michigan workers. You shouldn’t have to juggle multiple jobs to provide a good life for your family. At the Capitol, Kristen would advance our economic opportunities by:
- Securing the largest tax break for working families in Michigan’s history through the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)
- Supporting our workforce with youth employment opportunities, apprenticeships, and college access systems
- Investing locally to attract high-wage employers and high-quality job opportunities to our region
- Repealing the pension tax, lowering prescription drug costs, and ensuring affordable housing
Protecting our Freedoms and Achieving Results
Michigan should be a state where every person has the ability to live, work, thrive, and raise a family. Kristen supports Americans’ freedom to make decisions impacting their own health and the future of their own families. She supports reproductive and privacy rights, constitutionally respectful firearm regulation, voting rights and pro-democracy measures. She will:
- Fight against extremism that would twist, block or unravel our freedoms and impede results.
- Bring good people and good ideas together, wherever they are politically, to achieve real results that benefit our region.
Revitalizing the Great Lakes Bay Region
Everyone should have the opportunity to make a good living and prosper. Kristen is passionate about building a robust and sustainable economy that works for everyone in the region. To ensure long-term economic prosperity, she’ll work to:
- Attract and retain high-paying jobs throughout our region.
- Empower, attract and retain the individuals skilled to work those jobs.
- Incentivize entrepreneurship.
- Equip our future workforce through strong educational reform.
