Get StartedBoth in our current forces and for any new recruits, we must mandate the most stringent training possible to ensure that officers make every effort to de-escalate potentially volitile situations, view every citizen equal without respect for race, creed, color, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other feature. We must also mandate that certain tactics are absolutely forbidden for police including holds that can lead to death, shoot first policies, use of military grade weapons and vehicles, and gasses were are even illegal to use in warzones.

I will fight to expand pre-K throughout our state to ensure that Michigan children are given every opportunity for success, as studies have shown that children start learning long before the arbitrary age of five that's set for kindergarten. Learn more
We must start investing in our schools in a way that prepares young Michiganders for the jobs of the future.

We must also protect our air, which we need to breathe, and our soil, which we need to produce food. Increasingly, corporations are seeing opportunities to pollute our air and soil more because they can profit more from dumping pollutants into the soil and groundwater and pouring them into the air than to use proper disposal and prevention methods. We must take every step necessary to ensure that these corporations are following the laws already in place, prevent them from bribing or threatening public servants into weakening those laws, and, if neccessary, strengthen the laws.

I support banning weapons of war like the AR-15, which its own creator admits wasn't designed for civilian use. I also support banning large magazines and modifers like "bump stocks" that allow semi-automatic rifles to fire at a rate much faster than designed. Michigan must also have a red flag law in place so that those who show warning signs of preparing to hurt themselves or others can be temporarily restricted from firearms possession. Learn more
