§3What they've said on the issues
Why this matters: These are positions the candidate has stated publicly — on their campaign website or in public statements — summarized in plain words with a link to where they said it. Issues they haven't spoken about publicly are left out.
Drafted by AI from the public sources cited. Each sentence links to its source.
Each issue has its own range of views. A position is marked on that range only when the candidate's own statement clearly matches one option; there is no overall left–right score.
Economy, Jobs and Trade
Health Care
His campaign website says he will fight in Congress to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits and reduce the cost of health care.3
His campaign website says he is against the Medicaid cuts passed in Washington, which it says have removed health care from hundreds of thousands of people in Michigan, and that Congress should protect Medicaid rather than cut it.2,
His campaign website lists his vote in the Michigan Legislature to expand Medicaid access to over a million people in Michigan among his proudest votes.3
Energy and Climate
His campaign website says solar, wind and nuclear energy in Michigan will support U.S. energy independence, reduce pollution and create jobs, and that in the Michigan Senate he supported funding to help reopen the Palisades Nuclear Plant.3
Elections and Government Reform
His campaign website says he pushed forward independent redistricting efforts.3
- Have independent commissions, not lawmakers, draw district lines
- Let legislatures draw the lines, but only once a decade after the census
- Let legislatures draw and redraw the lines when they choose
Education
His campaign website says he strongly supports funding public schools, and lists among his accomplishments in the Michigan Legislature helping raise funding so schools could hire more teachers, social workers and therapists.3
- Increase state funding for public schools
- Hold funding near current levels
- Reduce state school funding or slow its growth
Immigration
His campaign website says he supports a secure border that keeps criminals out while offering a legal path for people who follow the law, and that in Congress he will work to overhaul ICE and make agents answer for illegal actions.3
Crime, Policing and Prisons
His campaign website says he voted repeatedly in the Michigan Legislature to fully fund police, firefighters and mental health programs, and that he will support local law enforcement in Congress.3
Abortion and Reproductive Health
His campaign website says decisions about starting or growing a family belong to a woman, her family and her doctor rather than to politicians, and lists among his accomplishments a Michigan Senate vote to repeal the state's 1931 abortion ban and service on the board of Planned Parenthood of South Central Michigan.3
§4Money
Why this matters: Campaigns report where their money comes from and how much they have left. Outside groups that spend on their own, without coordinating with the campaign, report that too.

Smaller expenditures that appear only on a group's regular monthly or quarterly report aren't in these totals, so the full amounts can be somewhat higher. When a group amends a report, only its latest version is counted.
§5Financial disclosures
Why this matters: Federal candidates and members of Congress must report their assets, income, debts and outside jobs, and members must report stock trades. These filings show possible conflicts of interest.
