Reason for Seeking Public Office:

I'm running because Michigan needs strong, experienced leaders to stand up for the poor, senior citizens, unemployed workers, K--12 students, our universities, and all of those in the middle class who have seen the promises made to them over decades broken in the first months of the Snyder administration.
