Pragmatic public servant to my core, I put citizens before self and my life on the line for our country and community for three decades.Too many hardworking families like the one I grew up in are really struggling. We need a strong, credible voice calling out what we need to fix so people can build better lives for themselves in mid-Michigan.

I pay attention to my bills, what’s happening in our schools, neighborhoods, and local economy. I know the problems holding people back from getting ahead, and I’m ready to solve them.

I have the courage, character, and mission-focus to rise above partisan politics and extremism, and get Lansing working better to make life more affordable, safe, and free for Michiganders.

As I’ve done all my life, I’ll be involved in the community and work with folks of all political stripes to get real things done for everyone I’m sworn to serve.If you work hard, you should be able to afford a good life for yourself and family. My top priority is to make your life more affordable and our region more attractive for better-paying jobs.

As State Senator, I'll fight for these priorities to put dollars back in pockets of our working families hit hardest by tariffs and soaring costs.

-Expand the Working Families Tax Credit

-Establish a Working Parents Tax Credit to help offset child care costs

-Expand Free School Meals & PreK

-Continue Rollback of the unfair retirement tax

-Lower prescription drug prices

-Expand Affordable Housing

I’ll fight to bring home good-paying jobs, and ensure we have affordable paths to get the education and skills training needed for these jobs.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

As a 30-year Marine veteran, 26+ year firefighter, and 31+ year dues-paying union member, I am passionate about pro-labor and pro-working families policies. Anything that makes a quality life more affordable for hardworking men and women is a priority for me. Across Michigan, and especially in our 35th district, we don't have enough jobs that pay what families need to build their lives here. I am committed to investing in our communities and schools to make them more attractive for economic development, and to equip our workforce with the skills needed to compete for better-paying jobs. No one can thrive if they don't feel safe or free. Part of government's duty is to keep people safe and protect their freedoms.
