Qualifications and Experience
Sean is a public servant who has delivered results for the greater Kalamazoo area as a City Commissioner, State Rep, and State Senator. Now he's running for Congress to deliver for Southwest Michigan.
Too many families are struggling to afford healthcare. In 2013, I was proud to vote for the expansion of Medicaid to one million people in MI, making it possible for more families to have healthcare coverage, but we need to do more. Politicians in Washington have made it harder for families to access affordable healthcare. Cuts to Medicaid, jeopardizing rural hospitals, and the refusal to extend ACA tax credits paid for by tax breaks for the wealthy, must be undone. I'll fight to restore healthcare access and make it more affordable. I’ll expand Medicaid, extend the ACA credits, and fight for lower prescription costs and against further cuts.
Michigan families work hard and should be able to earn a living wage, access affordable housing and health care, pay for gas to fill their cars and groceries to feed their families.
I was proud to deliver one of the largest tax relief packages in MI history. It’s time to do more: I’ll work to cut taxes for middle class families, oppose reckless tariffs, and stand up against forever wars that cost our country billions while jacking up gas and grocery prices.
I'll fight to restore healthcare and lower prescription costs. I’ll stop private equity from buying up available housing to jack up rent prices. I support raising the federal minimum wage.
From the Great Lakes to our rivers and everything in between, our clean air and water is what makes Michigan great. We know what happens when you don’t take care of the water, as we saw with the lead water crisis in Benton Harbor and PFAS-contaminated water in Parchment.
No one should have to worry about the safety of the water they drink.
Michigan can be a leader in the growing domestic and clean energy economy – we should be building energy infrastructure here at home, so we don’t have to rely on foreign oil or foreign energy. We can create good-paying energy jobs and lower utility rates while we’re at it.
Our immigration system is broken – we need real, common-sense reforms that keep our communities safe. I believe in strong borders. I believe that criminals should be held accountable under the law. I do not believe that we should be tearing families apart and causing chaos in our street instead of focusing on holding criminals accountable,
Real reform means creating pathways to citizenship for those who have been living, working, and paying taxes in our communities for years. We can address immigration issues in a way consistent with our values as Americans.
