Michigan Agriculture

While career politicians in Lansing push regulations and global policies, I will stand with West Michigan farmers, cutting taxes, defending property rights, and putting Michigan agriculture first.

I will fight to:

​

​

​

  • Strengthen and defend Michigan’s Right to Farm protections to shield farmers from nuisance lawsuits

  • Ensure Generally Accepted Agricultural and Management Practices (GAAMPs) remain science-based and farmer friendly 

  • Roll back excessive state regulations that increase costs without improving productivity

  • Stop suburban encroachment policies that threaten long-standing farms

  • Reduce property tax burdens on agricultural land

  • Protect and expand family farm inheritance protections (oppose policies that force land sales)

  • Eliminate unnecessary fees on equipment, fuel, and inputs

  • Oppose new environmental mandates that raise production costs without clear benefit

  • Fight foreign dumping that undercuts Michigan growers (especially cherries, apples, blueberries)

  • Support fair trade not one-sided deals that hurt local farmers

  • Prioritize “America First” sourcing for schools and state programs

Defend Michigan Agriculture from Unfair Trade

  • Expand rural broadband for precision agriculture and market access

  • Improve rural roads and bridges critical for moving crops

  • Support local processing and storage to keep value in Michigan

Financial Chart Analysis

Lansing must Live Within Its Means. Put Taxpayers First.

Cap Government Growth

​

  • Limit annual state spending increases to inflation + population growth

  • Require a supermajority vote for any budget that exceeds this cap

  • Stop unsustainable spending increases that outpace revenue

 

Cut Waste, Fraud, and Abuse

​

  • Launch a full forensic audit of state departments

  • Eliminate duplicative programs and unused funds

  • Require every department to justify spending from the ground up (“zero-based budgeting”)

​

Prioritize Core Services First

​

Focus spending on:

​

  • Roads and infrastructure

  • Public safety (police, fire, local services)

  • Veterans and seniors

​

Cut or reform:

​

  • Corporate subsidies and “political earmarks”

  • Non-essential state programs

 

No New Taxes    Fix Spending Instead

​

  • Oppose any new taxes or hidden fees

  • Return surplus funds to taxpayers

​

Michigan doesn’t have a revenue problem. Michigan has a spending problem.

​

Roll Back Pandemic Era Spending

Defending Freedom    Protecting Families    Standing for Michigan

Michigan's Constitution is clear:

Every person has a right to keep and bear arms for the defense of himself and the state.

​

  • Defend the Second Amendment and Michigan’s constitutional protections as fundamental rights

  • Oppose any legislation that restricts law-abiding citizens’ ability to own, carry, and use firearms for self-defense

  • Ensure courts and agencies respect this right as equal to all other constitutional freedoms

Support Constitutional Carry in Michigan

​

  • Back legislation to make Michigan a constitutional carry state, eliminating permit requirements for concealed carry for law-abiding citizens

  • Current proposals in Lansing would remove the need for a permit to carry a concealed pistol 

  • End costly fees, bureaucratic delays, and government permission slips

​

Your rights don’t come from the government, they’re granted by your creator.

Let’s Defend Law-Abiding Gun Owners & Target Criminals

​

  • Enforce tough penalties for violent criminals and illegal firearm possession

  • Oppose policies that punish responsible gun owners instead of criminals

  • Protect due process rights and prevent government overreach

  • ​

“We don’t disarm citizens, we disarm criminals.”

​

Stop Gun Confiscation and Overreach

​

I Oppose:

  • Gun bans targeting commonly owned firearms

  • Arbitrary “gun-free zones” that leave citizens defenseless

  • Confiscation schemes that violate due process

​

Protect Local Control & Second Amendment Sanctuaries

​

  • Support counties and communities that have declared themselves Second Amendment sanctuaries

  • Over half of Michigan counties have already taken this step 

  • Prevent Lansing from overriding local constitutional protections

​

Promote Responsible Ownership Without Mandates

​

  • I Encourage:

    • Firearm safety education

    • Voluntary training and responsible storage

  • I Oppose:

    • Government mandates that burden responsible citizens

    • One-size-fits-all restrictions on lawful gun ownership
