## Where he stands
- A Responsible State Budget: A state budget should balance the way a family budget balances — fund what works, and don't spend money we haven't earned.
- Safe Communities & Rule of Law: Courthouses exist to uphold the law — all of it — and our communities are safer when the law is applied the same way for everyone.
- Roads That Work: Build to last: invest in roads, water, and broadband we'll still be using a hundred years from now.
- Education with Real Options: A quality education for every Michigan child is non-negotiable, and parents are the primary decision-makers in how their kids learn.
- Reliable, Affordable Energy: Reliable and affordable, with ratepayers first — energy decisions should be measured by what they cost the families who pay the bill.
- Protecting Life: The role of government is to protect life — the unborn, the young, the elderly, and the incapacitated.
- Smarter Use of Tax Dollars: Smarter use, not more — get value for the taxes we already pay, plug the leaks, and keep voted millage dollars going where voters sent them.
- Second Amendment: I read the Second Amendment the way it's written, and the Michigan Constitution agrees: the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
