Get StartedI have worked my whole career to protect life, from the time of conception to natural death. Learn more

As governor of Michigan, I would promote adequate high school advisors and counselors, apprenticeships, scholarships, work-study programs, and community college participation. I would also seek ways to assure that remediation work be completed prior to beginning college studies. Learn more
We need to make education a priority in our state, through such strategies as: 1. Early exposure to reading 2. Offering school choice 3. Local control: the community decides what’s best for their children 4. Going back to the basics: reading, writing and arithmetic 5. Teaching children to read through phonics as well as sight words 6. Providing certified reading coaches in the classrooms Learn more
As governor of Michigan, I would promote exposure to books and reading in the home and education that emphasizes reading and refuses to promote students who do not have adequate reading skills to make it possible for them to learn at the next level. Learn more
As Governor, I will make sure that parents are in charge of their children’s education by defending and expanding choice at every opportunity. Learn more
I believe we need to let teachers teach a curriculum that has been approved by the parents not just what a test calls for. The tests should accurately assess the learned content, not govern what is being taught. Learn more
As governor of Michigan, I will promote scholarships, internships, apprenticeships and other creative solutions to keep Michigan higher education available and affordable. Learn more
The state has made government-to-government agreements with these tribes. These treaties address such matters as taxation, water quality, treaty fishing rights, and economic development.

The best long-term approach to homelessness, in my opinion, involves a combination of education, coaching and mentoring. Homeless individuals may need help to care for simple chores such as washing dishes, cooking, and organizing and maintaining an apartment. Couches can assist them with making good choices. Learn more
Providing housing first doesn’t solve the problems that underlie homelessness. It takes more than a place to live to keep people off the streets. A homeless person may not have the skills necessary to take care of themselves and an apartment. Learn more
Immigration privileges should be available only to those who are willing to abide by the laws of the land to which they are immigrating. When it comes to sanctuary cities (or states), I find it hard to understand why anyone would want to give more standing, status and leeway to an illegal immigrant than to a citizen or legal resident. Learn more
I believe that a controlled border, where we know who is entering our country, is the wisest course of action. Open borders could have many serious consequences for us now and down the road. Learn more
While immigrants should always be welcome to this country, they must be carefully vetted to assure that we are protecting our citizens and legal immigrants from terrorist acts. Learn more
As the Governor of Michigan, I will insist that we take into account not only the cost for construction of roads, buildings, and other projects, but also the maintenance of those projects. Learn more
As a fiscal conservative, I want to keep taxes and regulations under control, decreasing them whenever we can. But I also want to be practical. I realize that there might be a need, as a last resort, to increase them in order to fulfill our financial obligations. Learn more
