Campaign websiteHassan's campaign website stated the following:Making a 21st Century Economy Work for Mid MichiganMake no mistake, AI is coming. China cannot be allowed to win the 21st century space-race.We must take care to ensure that it is developed using American tech, while preserving and growing American jobs.For 50 years in mid-Michigan our leaders have left us poorly positioned for the future but now it’s here. It’s critical that we reinvest in the American workforce to better compete against China in this arena; promoting trades and incentivizing the restoration of blue-collar jobs here at home.We must also ensure that America remains a global leader in digital currency and the digital economy while ensuring clear and fair rules of the road that protect consumers and investors without picking winners and losers.Restoring Opportunity for Mid-MichigandersMichigan was once the land of opportunity – Amir’s grandparents settled in Flint during the Great Migration to work at General Motors. Decades of Democratic leadership have stripped us of opportunity and left economic stagnation in their wake.Amir supports President Trump and his agenda to rebalance our trade deals and restore good-paying blue collar opportunities to our middle class from Flint, to Saginaw, Bay City, and Midland.In Congress, Amir will oppose all tax increases, and will fight for a total income tax-cut for teachers, nurses, cops and first responders making under $100k a year. Together we will restore the kind of economy that once made Michigan the envy of the midwest.Standing for Life and Restoring Family ValuesAmir is pro-life, making exceptions in cases of rape and incest, and when the life of the mother is at stake. He also supports the blessing of IVF, which has helped create miracles for many families – including his own, as his daughter Jayla was conceived using IVF.Further, Amir knows that culturally, we need to prioritize the nuclear family again. Too many of our boys and girls grow up in broken homes, even with single moms and dads doing the best that they can.Protecting our Children from Indoctrination and the Far-Left AgendaWhere the far-left indoctrination agenda infiltrates our schools, it is our duty to stand up against it. The radical gender ideology of boys becoming girls, using girls bathrooms, and playing girls sports has got to stop.Amir wholeheartedly supports President Trump’s common sense agenda of ending woke DEI nonsense, and defunding these radical ideologies – and will join that fight in Congress to protect our children.Amir also believes that college is not the only answer for our children and will work in Congress to incentivize trade schools and end the demonization of blue collar work.Caring for our Troops and Wounded WarriorsAmir proudly served in the Navy during the Global War on Terrorism. He had friends who made the ultimate sacrifice, and saw those who made it home come back with mental scars. When Americans sign on the dotted line, they deserve to be taken care of when they return. In Congress, he’ll fight to improve the VA, and increase funding for veterans health care – both physical and mental.Combatting Islamic Extremism Abroad and Protecting AmericaDuring the Global War on Terrorism, Amir was stationed at Guantanamo Bay. It was there that he protected Americans from the worst of the worst that Al Qaeda and ISIS had to offer and as an intelligence analyst he has helped foil terrorist plots and keep the Homeland safe. He knows first-hand the danger of Islamic extremism abroad.Israel is America’s greatest ally abroad in a dangerous region of the world and a global force for good. We must support Israel’s efforts to combat terrorism in the Middle East, and ensure that they have the resources to defend themselves in our shared mission of combatting terror and preventing nuclear proliferation by state sponsors of terrorism.Amir knows that 99.9% of Muslims practice peacefully. However, those who attempt to poison the faith to do others harm should be given no quarter.Securing our Borders, Safeguarding our Streets, and Combatting Drug TraffickingFor far too long Democrat politicians have ignored the border and our broken immigration system for political gain. Amir wholeheartedly supports President Trump’s efforts to deport illegal immigrants, close the border, and stop the flow of fentanyl and other harmful drugs from destroying our children’s lives and community fabric.Further, as a federal law enforcement officer who has responded to violent protests Amir knows that the crime in our streets is out of control as a result of Democrats’ radical policies that have coddled criminals and made our once quiet mid-Michigan communities unsafe.Amir will support law enforcement and champion policies to get more cops on our streets, such as eliminating income taxes for police and other first responders making less than $100k per year. He will also oppose every radical Democrat-led effort to bring cashless bail to Michigan.Protecting the Promise of Social Security, Medicare, and MedicaidSocial Security and Medicare are a sacred promise to our seniors. Amir will fight to ensure those promises and will never cut Social Security or Medicare. He supports Medicaid as a critical resource for working families, and will never vote to cut Medicaid for working people who rely on it for care.Safeguarding Mid-Michigan’s Environment and Improving Critical InfrastructureAcross our state, Michiganders take pride in having the most beautiful lakes and rivers in the country. Yet in the past decade, MI-08 residents have been impacted by dam failures and the infamous contamination of Flint’s drinking water. In Congress, Amir will fight to ensure these crises never happen to our communities again.Unleashing American Energy and Fighting the Green New Deal ScamWhile the Biden Administration was forced to bend the knee to Saudi Princes for oil, President Trump and his administration are unleashing American energy production at unprecedented rates and lowering the cost of energy for millions of Americans.In Congress, Amir will join President Trump in this effort while combatting Kristen McDonald-Rivet and other extreme Democrats in their efforts to pass the Green New Deal Scam and other burdensome and unnecessary cost-raising bureaucratic regulations.Standing up to China and Banning Chinese Ownership of US FarmlandChina has taken advantage of Americans for years – President Trump’s efforts to rebalance American trade are righting those wrongs. Amir knows that you have to stand up to bullies to get respect, and that’s what President Trump is doing with China – to rebalance our trade, restore good-paying American jobs, and once and for all end the scourge of fentanyl.We also need to look with concern to the Chinese purchasing of critical US infrastructure and farmland. From Democrats’ secret Gotion deals, to Chinese ownership of US farmland, Amir would fight for legislation to ban these practices – because our critical resources should never be owned by the Chinese Communist Party.— Amir Hassan's campaign website (July 29, 2026)Note: This text is quoted verbatim from the original source.
