Issue Position: Stronger Michigan Manufacturing

Issue Position

I have always been a strong supporter of Michigan manufacturing and all the hard-working men and women who contribute to it. From the world headquarters of the big three, to the small business manufacturers across the state, Michigan's manufacturing industry is the envy of the world.

Our state has done its part to get our economy back on track. Unfortunately, Washington has failed to do its part to ensure the long-term health of the nation's economy. As a business owner, I know that things in Washington have to change, and we need to make reforms now so we don't face a repeat of the economic crisis.

As Michigan's U.S. Senator, I will fight for policies to create an environment that allows Michigan's manufacturing industry to thrive for generations to come.

Terri's Solutions

1. Fair Trade: Developing fair trade agreements will open up markets to Michigan's exports.

2. Predictability: Reforming the tax code will encourage job growth, increase capital investments, and make the U.S. more competitive, while providing Michigan's business with much needed stability and predictability.

3. Modernizing Our Energy: Increasing America's domestic energy production and building the Keystone Pipeline will lower energy costs for manufacturers and families.

4. Education: Working with states we can encourage and grow a skilled workforce.

5. Mandate Relief: Providing relief from expensive and onerous Washington regulations that impose unnecessary costs on our economy will save businesses time and money.

6. Fiscal Discipline: To get our nation's fiscal house in order by balancing the budget and paying down the national debt.
