Qualifications and Experience
I went from laying bricks to building futures as an educator, union organizer, and published researcher with experience advancing public policy and workers’ rights.
A farmer can do everything right and still lose a crop to drought, hail, or an early frost. That’s why we have crop insurance: some risks are too big for one family to carry alone. Healthcare is no different. I support Medicare for All so an illness or accident doesn’t erase a lifetime of work. We must protect Medicare for seniors, fully fund and staff VA healthcare for veterans, and stop rural hospital closures so getting care doesn’t mean driving over an hour. We already spend enough on healthcare. Our money should pay for our care, not insurance company profits.
People are working harder and watching their paychecks buy less while corporations post record profits. That isn’t an economy working for working people. I support higher wages, collective bargaining, the PRO Act, apprenticeships, and bringing good jobs back home. Taxpayer dollars should create American jobs, not reward companies for sending them overseas. I worked as a bricklayer before becoming an educator. Work should provide a life, not just another bill to pay.
I support building things in Michigan and creating good union jobs, but growth must benefit the communities that host it. From massive data centers straining our power and water resources to gravel operations pumping groundwater and impacting nearby homes, corporations cannot simply take what they need and leave residents with the bill. I support responsible development, strong local oversight, reliable affordable energy, and protections for our water while putting Michigan workers to work building our future.
Due process, free speech, and protection from unreasonable searches are American principles, not partisan ones. I support secure borders and a legal immigration system that actually works, including protections for Dreamers and a pathway for long-term residents. We can enforce the law without giving government unchecked power. Once we make constitutional rights conditional, everyone’s rights become less secure.

Firstly, in the last twelve months I have suffered a six month total upper body inflammation from a Brown Recluse spider bite and a month long Lyme disease infection from a tick bite. I have seen way too much of the medical system.
The Doctor-Patient relationship no longer exists. The insurance industry is in obvious control of the whole system. A doctor will not make a diagnosis that is not allowed by insurance. An endless stream of unnecessary referrals inflates the costs. Costs are unrealistic and then comically reduced by the insurance agencies fake numbers with kickbacks included. (much more info is available)
The policy of The United States is war. At every turn we are regulating, blaming and punishing industry and not forming trade partnerships with the world. Small business and farmers are producing less at higher prices.
The policy of China is business. Instead of threatening and bombing countless countries, they are forming commerce relationships with anyone they can.
The policy of the federal reserve is money printing and forever inflation. Reported inflation numbers are always way lower than price increases. A gradually diminishing middle class is the result.
End The Fed
Michigan's decision to develop solar exclusively was a mistake. It makes for a very fragile system. It is also not as inexpensive as it is made out to be. Energy storage for nighttime usage and very cloudy days is the most expensive and inefficient way to use energy.
Chemical contaminants leeching into the soil from rainwater runoff is problematic in some systems.
Using other countries in order to produce solar cells and mine hazardous materials in order to make them with child labor keeps our thoughts at ease, but the results on our planet are equivalent.
Some diversity should be used in our energy supply.
First of all, decide what you want the laws to be and then follow them. It's not hard. The "One Big Party"makes it up as they go along, policy be damned.
I don't understand the Question. For Libertarians, freedom and the constitution is a way of life, the way we think. We don't contemplate endlessly whether freedom applies here or there. It just always is, even as "The one Big Party" continually tries to regulate freedom away.
People, your vote this year is clearly whether you vote to enslave
yourself or not.

There is NOTHING in the Constitution that guarantees health care.
However, what we can do, as a community, is stop the fraud of making people sick, so we can make them better--this is what the majority of the "health care" business is about, the money!
We have alternative means of keeping people healthy. Frequency and Vibration are both used in healing. WE are electric beings.
Access to real food, keeping our bodies healthy is another way as well as exercise. Proper breathing techniques help to keep blood alkaline, keeps illness down.
Health care isn't about large institutions; it's about love, nurturing and going back to caring for all.
Not In the Constitution, but . . . Don't be afraid to work! There are many jobs people don't want to do. What is available or what are you qualified to do?
Most important, what do you love to do so it doesn't feel like work, but a passion?
We need more apprentice programs--teaching people how to use their hands for more than a phone. How many people even know how to build a stone wall? That is a very good-paying occupation!
We need to bring back entrepreneurship. Before the Covid scam, we had many more small businesses. These businesses were illegally forced to close, but you could still go to the casino?
Tesla free energy is all around us to harness, but DTE and Consumers Power don't want you to know this. Henry Ford had hydro plants all over Michigan's rivers. Many are still there. Did you know that inside of your LED light bulb is a Tesla coil? The electric company charges you to bring power to your home. The power goes thru the Tesla coil in your light bulb, generating electricity, that goes back to the power company, for them to sell back to you.
But, instead of putting up a Tesla Tower, the electric company wants to take valuable farm land and put solar panels and windmills all over the place. We fall for it! Amazing!
Non citizens have human rights, but don't have rights under our Constitution. It would be like me going to France and expect to be covered by their constitution. Your choice to use the word noncitizen, omits the fact that they are illegal. That should be the first word that comes up. Again, what happens if I show up illegally in another country? What would happen if we all went to France and decided to vote in their elections? Different point of view.
The question we need to ask is, "Why, or what is causing them to have to leave their home land in the first place?
Our rights under the Constitution are un-a-leinable. No conditions!

Our healthcare system is profit oriented, not solution oriented. If it were solution oriented there would be cures for the common cold COVID and cataracts. I will pursue these.Cut
Cut military spending. Planning has to be made to prevent data centers and power hungry users from diverting power to their interests. Rather than protecting people who need power for air conditioning in the summer
