- "What we're talking about with Michigan First is jobs and the economy. Michigan has been through some tough times here and we need to make sure we have some good-paying jobs here in Michigan, and in order to do that we need to have a tax structure that's fair, simpler and lower." (votesmart.org)

- "A bedrock principle of America's education system is local funding and local control of schools, that means putting Michigan first, not Washington. I support ending the Washington-imposed standards on local schools in Common Core and returning the power to our teachers, local communities and parents" (votesmart.org)
- "Energy Diversity. One way to reduce our dependence on Middle East oil is to look to America's friends and allies to help meet America's energy needs. I support construction of the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada to the U.S. so our country has access to oil from North America, rather than the Middle East. I also support looking at importing energy from our other allies." (votesmart.org)
- "Reining in the EPA. The EPA has recently issued a series of damaging regulations that hurt Michigan farmers. I support common-sense efforts to rein in the EPA and will do my part as your U.S. Senator to provide robust oversight and accountability to this agency. Farmers, not Washington bureaucrats, are the best stewards of our land.' (votesmart.org)
- Candidate endorsed by the National Rifle Association (votesmart.org)
- "Giving Women Control over their Health Care. Women should be able to choose their doctor, they should be able to keep the insurance plan that works for them, and they should have greater control over their health care dollars. Women should also be able to freely choose the best health care options for their children and families. Despite the President's promises, Obamacare has caused women to lose their health plans and their doctors. I support alternatives to Obamacare that will let women choose their doctor, that will enhance consumer choices in health insurance and will empower everyone, including mothers and women in the workforce. I support Health Savings Accounts. I support competition and greater transparency in health care." (votesmart.org)
- "No Amnesty: The U.S. should not give amnesty to illegal immigrants.Modernize Visa Tracking: A very large segment of illegal immigrants in the U.S. -- perhaps as many as 40% -- came here legally with visas but then never left. This is a data problem, and we have the technology to fix it." (votesmart.org)
