It’s time for Michigan’s public servants to face the brutal facts. Since 1970, Michigan’s median household income has dropped from 7th in the nation to 38th. Over those same 55 years, inflation adjusted household incomes grew at the second lowest rate in the US at 2.9% while inflation skyrocketed to 738%. Michigan now ranks 44th in education. Housing and healthcare costs have soared. As a structural engineer, I’ve spent my career fixing broken systems with facts, reason, teamwork and ethical leadership. I’m bringing that same mindset to Lansing to fight for your family.

"The State of Michigan has been in an economic slide for more than 50 years, despite the best efforts of Democrats and Republicans. It’s time for fresh ideas based on reason, accurate data and proven practices in innovation. We can do better."
