GRETCHEN WHITMER, Democrat Gretchenwhitmer.com

Running Mate: Garlin Gilchrist II

1: 1). Economy & Jobs: Cutting costs and keeping our economy moving forward by supporting small businesses, attracting historic manufacturing investments, and securing new auto jobs. 2) Infrastructure: Securing multibillion dollar investments to repair roads, bridges, and water infrastructure while supporting over 100,000 jobs. Continuing work to improve our state’s infrastructure is a top priority. 3) Protecting the Right To Choose: I will fight like hell to protect abortion rights in Michigan.

2: I worked across the aisle to make the largest investment in K-12 education in state history, without raising taxes, to empower the educators and parents, and help our students thrive. We closed the school funding gap, tripled the number of reading coaches, reduced class sizes, and brought Republicans and Democrats together to recruit more teachers, and expand before and after-school programming. My administration has worked hard to address the teacher shortage and secured over $500 million for teacher recruitment and training programs to hire and train 10,000 new teachers in our most recent budget.

3: I’ve worked hard to cut costs for Michiganders delivering $3 billion in auto refunds for drivers and I’m fighting to provide more relief. I’ve

announced plans to provide $500 rebate checks for every working family and called for the legislature to pass a sales tax holiday on school supplies. I am working to repeal Michigan’s retirement tax that would save 500,000 households 1,000 per year and called for tripling Michigan’s Earned Income Tax Credit to help over 700,000 working families. I signed two bipartisan tax cuts for small businesses and repealed the tampon tax, providing $7 million in annual savings.

4: By combating climate change, we can build safer communities, protect our natural resources, cut costs for families, create lasting jobs, and strengthen our economy. My MI Healthy Climate Plan would create resilient jobs and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, moving towards energy independence through renewable resources, building a charging network to support 2 million electric vehicles, and so much more. I have secured millions of investments in climate-resilient infrastructure and vehicle electrification. These measures are not just critical for our health, but they are strengthening our economy and creating long term opportunity right here at home.

5: Protecting the right to choose: I will continue to fight like hell to protect abortion rights. Expanding education: My administration secured the largest investment ever in Michigan’s K-12 schools. Protecting the right to vote: I am committed to ensuring that the voice of every Michigander is protected at the ballot box. Investments in communities of color: I’ve worked tirelessly to open new pathways for Michiganders of all backgrounds to build wealth. Most diverse administration: I’ve built the most inclusive administration in Michigan’s history.

TUDOR M. DIXON, , Republican www.tudordixon.com Running mate: Shane Hernandez

1: 1) Improve Michigan schools by empowering parents and expanding choices; 2) Rebuild and grow the economy, support energy and infrastructure projects throughout Michigan; 3) Restore law and order.

2: I have a five step plan to improve Michigan schools: 1) Distribute Tutoring Certificates - Fund 25 hours of tutoring in reading and math for every student using some of the $6 Billion in federal COVID relief funding; 2) Preserve Parent’s Rights - Require school districts to put all curriculum and teaching materials online for parents to see; 3) Protect Girls’ SportsProtect young girls from being forced to compete against biological boys in school sports; 4) Improve Civic & Financial Literacy - Enact substantial civic and financial literacy requirements for grade school; 5) Create Education Savings Accounts - Empower parents to decide which education environment is best.

3: I have a five step plan to improve put Michigan “back in business”: 1) Reduce Personal Income Tax - Develop and enact a plan to phase out Michigan’s personal income tax over time; 2) Upscale Workforce Training

& Emphasize the Trades - Expand public-private partnerships between the education system and the private sector; 3) Slash 40% of Regulations in 4 Years - Cut, reduce, or streamline 40% of Michigan’s enormous regulatory code in four years; 4) Cut Corporate Welfare - Analyze all Michigan incentive programs created and utilized over the last decade to determine their efficacy and efficiency; 5) Make Michigan Open for BusinessRapidly enact pro-growth policies.

4: Michigan should have policies that benefit all businesses and create a strong environment for job growth. Market forces should determine success and failure, not the government. I support: 1) Utilizing Alternative Financing Opportunities - Using public-private partnerships and other innovative financing mechanisms where they make sense to ease taxpayer burdens; 2) Consolidating Agencies - Streamline the over 600 government agencies and departments that handle road funding annually and improve the overall management; 3) Revising the Funding Formula & Making Funding More Flexible - Evaluate changes like revising funding formulas or giving local districts more flexibility.

5: All families deserve the best educational opportunities for their children, regardless of their background or income level. A strong education leads to good jobs and strong outcomes for the future. I fully support the creation of Education Savings Accounts for families. ESAs will truly empower parents to decide which education environment is best for their child. Michigan should allow families to use the state’s per-pupil funding amount on public, private, charter, virtual, or homeschooling options. All families deserve school options for their kids, not just the privileged and the few.

MARY BUZUMA, Libertarian Electmarybuzuma.com

Running Mate: Brian Ellison

1: As the first Libertarian governor of Michigan I will work to roll back the state and restore the inalienable right to choose for all Michiganders. The right to choose how to educate their children, how to spend their hard earned money, how to best take care of their medical needs and most important how to live their lives.

2: More laws, rules and taxpayer money will not improve government school education but competition will. Parents are best situated to decide what is in their own children’s best interests, and I will support all measures that enhance all educational choices available: charter schools, tax credits for private school tuition, home schooling, etc. Our state gives tax breaks to corporations whose CEOs can afford to send their children to private schools, shouldn’t it provide tax breaks to parents who want to improve their child’s education? A limited supply of educators is the fault of the State. Eliminate unnecessary barriers to capable candidates who want to enter the education job market.

Taxation is theft and the income tax should be repealed but until that

time, a promise made is a promise kept. Keep the bipartisan promise made 15 years ago and return the income tax to 3.9%. The state can afford it and the people of Michigan deserve it. Enact a sustainable budget to prevent overspending and growing government. Economic circumstances have forced many hardworking taxpayers to cut back, there’s no reason why our state government shouldn’t follow their example. Keep the growth of the budget below the rates of growth of the state population plus the inflation rate. If the population grows by 1% and inflation grows by 2%, the state budget shouldn’t grow by more than 3%.

4: Michigan residents through the monopoly utility companies pay the highest rates in the region for some of the least reliable electricity in the country. All new electricity generation constructed in our state must be able to supply reliable electricity when it is needed. Human rights and individual liberty go hand-in-hand with environmental protection and improvement. The cleanest environments are in places where human rights are honored and protected. The demand to protect the environment proceeds from free people with adequate food, shelter and legal rights, not controlling governments. Expanding individual liberty is a key component of making our state and our world a cleaner place.

5: Libertarians believe every person has the same inalienable rights that the State has a duty to protect. I oppose any form of discrimination by government based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation or any other group or individual identification. End qualified immunity and other aspects of modern-day policing that lead to violence and harassment of people of color the LGBTQ community and sex workers. I will work to change laws and institutions of government so that those of modest means can experience greater upward mobility. All people need to live their daily lives without fear of unjustified harassment, arrest, or injury/death at the hands of the State.

KEVIN HOGAN, Green Party

Gofund.me/2b335cbc

Running Mate: Destiny Clayton

1: Women’s Equality, LGBTQI(+) Equality, and the Economy (COVID19 Ended). As Michigan Governor Kevin Hogan , I would address Women and LGBTQI(+)’s Equality by pressuring the state legislature using the media and concurrently, for leverage, openly supporting a ballot proposal to end wrongful discrimination and have Equality for Women’s and LGBTQI(+) Community, and as a biochemist I would address the Economy by ending The Gretchen Whitmer COVID19 Deadly (38,000+ Michiganians dead, including children) Pandemic, increasing minimum wage getting people back to work (creating jobs), and by ending inflation something Gretchen Whitmer in one of her many commercials says she cannot do. I can!

2: Michigan’s Education ranks 40th that is there are only ten states that are worse than the state of Michigan in Education. Competition brings out the brightest and the best. So, I would drive public schools to compete for students. How? I would have the $7,500 per student follow the student to whichever school his or her parents (and students) choose. I would downsize large-dilapidated schools making new smaller schoolhouses with air condition and other amenities, pay teacher better, establish a program for professionals like scientists (like myself), mathematicians, engineers, etc. to acquire faster (6 months) teaching certification.

3: As Kevin Hogan, The Next Michigan Governor - Green Party, I will support Michiganians’ improved economic positions by having Water, Food, and Housing as basic human rights. I will support an increase in minimum wage. I will support unions - every job should be unionized for a better standard of living (and happiness). I will support within a business disclosure of pay for workers with the same title, so minorities won’t (like I was) be lowballed paid. I will support free education with day care.

4: As Kevin Hogan, The Next Michigan Governor - Green Party and Scientist, I will support taking action on climate change. I will support ending fracking. I will support alternative energy sources. I will support using glass instead of some petroleum base plastics.

5: As Kevin Hogan, The Next Michigan Governor - Green Party, I will promote social and racial justice in Michigan by signing into law a bill preventing bigots from holding government office. I will also mandate a police policy of one strike and your fired. I will eliminate Internal Affair (police policing police) having police officers have their day in court facing a jury (not a judge). I will mandate by executive order the immediate release of police body camera video to the media for public view.

MICHIGAN SECRETARY OF STATE

4-Year Term – Vote for ONE (1)

QUESTION 1:

Describe your qualifications and the skills and experience you bring to the position. Why do you want to be the Secretary of State?

QUESTION 2:

What would be your top priorities as Secretary of State and what actions would you take to accomplish them?

QUESTION 3:

What initiatives would you implement to provide support to county, city and local clerks?

QUESTION 4:

What policies do you advocate regarding elections, campaign funding and voting rights?

JOCELYN BENSON, Democrat www.votebenson.com

1: I am running for reelection to keep partisanship out of the Secretary of State’s Office while we work to make it serve everyone, whether they consider themselves a Republican, Democrat or Independent. Our work also includes making it easier to vote while ensuring that every election is secure, fair and free. I am pleased to have overseen the safest, most secure and successful election in Michigan history when 5.5 million voters cast ballots. I bring to the office a lifetime commitment to protect our democracy, whether investigating hate crimes or fighting mis-information campaigns designed to undermine it.

2: We want to build on the service improvements we’ve made. When I took office in 2019, customers had to ‘take a number and wait,’ which sometimes resulted in hours-long wait times. Today, branch office customers are in-and-out, on average, in 20 minutes. We’ve doubled the transactions that can be done online and have placed self-service stations in grocery stores. We’ve also made voting easier while ensuring our elections are secure, fair and free. Our plans include expanding our mobile branch office operation and locating mini-offices in key locations. We want to protect and expand options that make voting easier but secure.

3: In my first term, we worked with local clerks to give them the tools they need to conduct secure, fair and free elections. Our work included helping place ballot drop boxes in communities across the state, recruiting a new generation of poll workers, and made $8 million dollars of federal funds available to clerks to bolster election security. I will continue to advocate that state and federal funds be provided directly to local jurisdictions and will continue partnering with all clerks to preempt election misinformation that seeks to deceive voters. Local clerks are often voters trusted source for accurate election information in their communities.

4: I believe election administration must be above partisanship. Campaign funding should be transparent. It should be easy to vote, while ensuring security and fairness. Among the policies we have implemented is Election Day registration to ensure that every eligible citizen can register and vote. I believe in educating voters about their new rights to vote from home, sending absentee ballot request forms to every registered voter in the state, and creating an online, downloadable application to request your absentee ballot online. We implemented several secure protocols to ensure every valid ballot and only valid ballots were counted and will continue to do so if reelected.

KRISTINA ELAINE KARAMO, Republican Kristinakaramo.com Did not respond.

GREGORY SCOTT STEMPFLE, Libertarian stempfle4sos.org

1: I have 25 years’ experience as a political activist familiarizing myself with election law. I’ve been a candidate, campaign treasurer, state party chair, precinct delegate, poll worker, and worked on several ballot initiatives. In

my professional life, I am medical technologist in an organ transplant lab. This field requires me to deal with complex technical matters under short time constraints which is a valuable skill needed to manage state elections. My political and professional experience demonstrate that I would be capable of ensuring fair and transparent elections. Only someone from outside the two-party system can make this claim.

2: I plan to streamline and automate services when possible, without leaving those without access to technology behind. I support changes to the vehicle registration process so owners can permanently register their vehicle rather than every year or two. Vehicle registration amounts to a tax that disproportionately hurts the poor and leads to people getting trapped in the criminal justice system. Many voters’ express concerns to me about the appointment program at the branch offices saying they often wait longer than expected. If this office plans to continue the appointment program, we need to look at ways of better honoring the scheduled times.

3: I would work with county clerks to help them publish more updated and accurate election information on their county government website. I would also work with local election officials to provide improved equipment to accommodate alternative voting methods and provide better training with regard to handling minor party paperwork.

4: I advocate requiring paper ballots for voting so that any recounts can be done using physical objects rather than voting by touch screen. I advocate for election reforms that level the playing field for independent and third-party candidates. These include using ranked choice voting, allowing counties, townships, and villages to conduct nonpartisan elections, and making the signature requirements for independent candidates the same as Democrats and Republicans. I support the current system of absentee voting for any reason, early voting, and same day voter registration and will push back against any efforts to make voting more difficult.

MICHIGAN ATTORNEY GENERAL

4-Year Term – Vote for ONE (1)

QUESTION 1:

Describe your qualifications and the skills and experience you bring to the position. Why do you want to be the Attorney General?

QUESTION 2:

QUESTION 3:

What would you recommend to the Governor and State Legislature regarding the protection of consumers and addressing illegal activities in Michigan?

DANA NESSEL, Democrat www.dananessel.com

1: Before being elected Attorney General, I served as a Wayne County Assistant Prosecutor for 11 years and then maintained a private practice focused on criminal defense, civil rights, and family law. I also helped try the case that led to Americans having the right to marriage equality. I have almost completed my first term as AG and hope to have a second term to continue the work I’ve done during my first term, including protecting our elections and poll workers, and holding accountable those who seek to interfere with Michigan residents’ ability to vote. I want to make sure every eligible voter is able to make their voice heard.

2: My top priority is to continue to serve as the People’s Lawyer, using the resources of my office to aggressively advocate for crime victims as well as consumers, and help improve the lives of constituents whenever possible. My focus is on ensuring voters know how to vote, when to vote, and how to make sure their vote counts. I will fight in court to uphold the will of voters and protect the civil and reproductive rights of all Michigan residents. I will also continue to hold corporations accountable when they price-gouge or pollute our natural resources, and I’ll take Big Pharma to court to lower the cost of prescription drugs.

3: I would recommend that they do everything in their power to enact consumer protection measures, and I would ask them to join me in creating tough but smart criminal justice policies. I’d urge the Legislature to take up the guardianship and conservator reform bills resulting from the ongoing work of my Elder Abuse Task Force, pass a package of human trafficking bills recommended by the Michigan Human Trafficking Commission, crack down on companies that misclassify workers to avoid paying full wages, overtime and taxes, and support common-sense gun safety legislation that would strengthen background checks and enact safe storage laws.

MATTHEW DePERNO, Republican Did not respond.

JOSEPH W. McHUGH JR., Libertarian libertystrikesback.com

What would be your top priorities as Attorney General and what actions would you take to accomplish them?

1: As a Marine Corps Officer, I swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States—and the rights of every individual, which have been gradually usurped by our government since 9/11. Our two party system is working against us—and the Biden-Bush-Trump coups of 9/11 and 1/6 are the evidence. As your AG, I will draw upon my leadership experience as a Marine officer, a business owner and financial professional to empower attorneys across the country to right the ship by suing government at the federal, state and local levels, including our own governor, to restore our rights and protect the rights of every individual.

2: Our Bill of Rights codifies our rights to free thought, speech, action, association, self defense, privacy, self sovereignty, the right to understand the law and penalty for breaking it, and a trial by jury of our peers. Freedom isn’t free. We will fight to restore and maintain our Liberty. 1) Sue for public review of code of social media and voting software to fight censorship and restore election integrity; 2) sue for easily understood laws, terms of service and privacy policies to restore due process; 3) sue to release non-violent prisoners, immediately expunge records to get back to work, and provide backpay for unjustly lost time.

3: Any action that does not harm any other should not be illegal. This includes possession of firearms, substance use and sex between consenting adults. With fewer, better laws to enforce, our police will be free to do their job— protect people. Consumer protection goes hand in hand with protecting the environment and individual rights, including a balanced approach to protecting women’s rights and those of the unborn. Clean air, fresh water, healthy organic food, safe housing, fair pay, and money that retains value over time are our most basic rights. Use AG profits as a wealth fund to seed businesses that will serve our public interest.

U.S. REPRESENTATIVE IN CONGRESS

2-Year Term – Vote for One (1)

QUESTION 1: HEALTH CARE:

What do you see as the federal government’s role in health care? Given the Covid19 pandemic, what are your concerns and plans regarding public health in the U.S.?

QUESTION 2: ECONOMY:

What federal policies do you support for a healthy economy and to help Americans without financial security improve their economic positions?

QUESTION 3: ELECTIONS:

What federal policies do you support regarding elections, campaign funding and voting rights?

DISTRICT 2

JERRY HILLIARD, Democrat http://jerryhilliard.com

1: The federal government is responsible to create a healthcare system that is affordable for all citizens. I believe the most efficient and effective way to accomplish such is Medicare for all.

2: A tax system that insures every income earner pays their fair share of taxes. We need to enforce the full employment act of 1946 and strengthen unions. We need to break up the oligarchies in industry. We need to set policy that leads to wages growing faster than prices as it is the only way to raise standard of living for the whole population. We have to realize that 66+ percent of our economy is consumer spending and is where we should be concentrating our effort. Pro-labor is pro business! We need a living wage for our minimum wage. This will help business grow and prosper as well as the nation. We have done this before and can again.

3: Our election funding system is a mess and needs to be completely overhauled completely if we are to maintain our democracy. We need to disallow Dark Money to start. Create a system that is publicly funded, bring back the equal time requirements for public media and apply truth in advertising laws to political advertising.

JOHN MOOLENAAR, Republican http://www.johnmoolenaarforcongress.com/

1: I support access to quality health care for all Americans without raising taxes, premiums, and especially without forcing citizens to buy policies they cannot afford or do not want. At its core, our system is about American families having the ability to choose the plan that best meets their needs. We can accomplish the kind of health care reform the American people want without having a government takeover of our system and without forcing citizens into a one-size-fits-all healthcare system.

2: It is clear that liberal tax-and-spend policies are wrong for Michigan’s Second Congressional District and wrong for America. Inflation has skyrocketed to its highest levels in 40 years. Free markets, free enterprise, innovation, and entrepreneurship are the foundation for economic growth and job creation in Michigan and America. We must get government out of the way, reduce burdensome federal regulations and let American ingenuity drive our economy forward. I support American energy independence and I will continue to oppose reckless government spending and tax hikes that raise the cost of living on Michigan families.

3: Preserving the integrity of our elections and ensuring the ability to vote for all Americans is essential to our Republic. Our Constitution gives states the primary responsibility of administering elections. I support state voter ID laws, securing our election systems, and have demanded Secretary Benson clean the voter rolls to remove those no longer eligible to vote.

NATHAN HEWER, Libertarian Did not respond.

DISTRICT 8

DANIEL T. KILDEE, Democrat www.dankildee.com

1: In the richest country in the world, every person should have access to quality, affordable health care. I oppose attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act and take away health care coverage for those with pre-existing conditions. I have voted for bipartisan legislation allowing Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices, end the practice of surprise medical billing, and cap the price of insulin at $35 a month. I have also secured federal funding for local community health centers throughout midMichigan. The pandemic has shown us that we must invest in more medical research to better respond to emerging health threats.

2: Every Michigander who works hard and plays by the rules should have a fair opportunity to succeed. I have supported bills to strengthen ‘Made in America’ requirements, fix our broken supply chains, boost domestic manufacturing, expand job training for workers, raise the federal minimum of workers and ensure equal pay for women. I have also worked with Republicans and Democrats on legislation to help lower costs for Michiganders on wage, protect the pensions everyday items including gas and prescription drugs. During the pandemic, I voted for aid to help Michigan families, small businesses and seniors get through the global health emergency.

3: The right to vote is one of the most fundamental rights afforded to every American. I have supported the For the People Act, which would expand voting rights for Americans, reduce big money in politics, and ensure that public officials work for the people, not special interests. I voted for the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to restore the Voting Rights Act, make Election Day a national holiday, limit partisan gerrymandering and protect the right for all Americans to vote. And I support legislation banning Members of Congress and their families from trading stocks while in office, taking on my own party to try and get it passed.

PAUL JUNGE, Republican pauljunge.com

1: The goal is affordable and accessible healthcare and avoiding regulations that kick people off their healthcare plans. Government policies should allow small businesses the ability to better provide coverage for their employees, increase flexibility, empower patients and their doctors, and harness the private sector’s ability to innovate and develop medications and cures.

2: Families are being hit hard - the rising cost of goods and record high gas

prices. We need to lower the tax burden on families and small businesses to help them afford the higher prices and to improve our economy. We need to stop the federal government’s reckless spending that is driving up inflation. Additionally, we need to increase American energy production to lower gas prices. Empowering people rather than Washington DC politicians and bureaucrats will improve our economy and help people who are living paycheck-to-paycheck.

3: A photo ID should be required to vote, there needs to be strong signature verification for absentee ballots, and partisan balance among election observers is important. Voting is a fundamental right and the election process should be fair, secure, and efficient. The federal government should not be able to ban states from requiring a photo ID to vote or prevent other common sense security efforts.

DAVID CANNY, Libertarian Did not respond.

KATHY GOODWIN, Working Class Party workingclassfight.com

1: Health Care should be a human right. In the richest country in the world, we should ALL receive full, free health care that is top of the line. I am horrified by the U.S. response to Covid19 which exposed underfunded public healthcare and disorganization. Healthcare should be funded federally but organized locally. Public health needs to be massively funded and controlled by working people ourselves. Public health needs to be neighborhood based. To build trust, respected neighbors should be hired and trained. Public health is destroyed when profit is put first. Profit for the few at the top is the sickness in our healthcare system.

2: Inflation is squeezing workers and people on a fixed income. Inflation can be visualized as money stolen from our pockets and transferred to the wealthiest one per cent. Money we pay at the pump goes to big oil companies. Rent/mortgage money generally goes to Wall Street/Banks. Food money goes to the Big Food Companies. Wage, retiree and disability income needs to go up automatically with inflation to check their greed.

3: Everyone should be able to register on election day and vote easily. Many days of early voting with free transportation to the polls plus mandatory paid time off would help workers vote more easily. Voter suppression is outrageous and wrong! The worst voter suppression in politics is the billionaire money controlling what we hear and see. These billionaires get wealthy by not paying workers and by the tax breaks and benefits they get from the government. Then they use this same money to control politics so the political system benefits them even further! Regarding campaign funding, there should be no corporate money in politics.

DISTRICT 35

KRISTEN MCDONALD RIVET, Democrat www.kristenmcdonaldrivet.com

1: Our schools are over regulated and our students are over tested. To advance educational equity we must: 1) Adopt a weighted school funding formula to ensure every student has what they need, 2) Redesign the school accountability to focus on real world skills, 3) Strengthen and expand our early care and education system, and 4) Provide supplemental funding to parents for youth development programming. To address the shortage of teachers we must raise salaries, provide stronger supports for early career teachers and decouple teacher evaluations from standardized test scores.

2: 6 in 10 Michigan jobs pay less than $47,000 a year, which makes meeting basic needs really hard for families. Our state must focus on raising incomes by attracting higher-wage jobs, creating places where people want to live and work as a form of talent attraction and increasing the number of residents with four year degrees. Our economic security is inextricably tied to increasing our population - which is currently trending downward.

3: Voting is a fundamental right and we should eliminate as many barriers to access as possible while assuring a secure process. I believe in early voting, no-reason absentee, increasing polling locations and ballot drop boxes and setting aside election day as a public holiday.

ANNETTE GLENN, Republican www.annetteglenn.com

1: The # of teachers statewide is up 2%, while enrollment has declined 300,000 since 2006. Shortages exist in urban and remote rural areas and subjects such as science, technology, engineering, math, special ed, and foreign languages. Schools should be allowed to offer different salaries and bonuses for different subject areas and to pay teachers based on

performance rather than merely years of service. We should expand approved alternative certification programs, and schools should be allowed to hire qualified individuals regardless of certification status, such as the many retired scientists, chemists, and engineers who live in our district.

2: As state representative, I voted for or introduced legislation to: Reduce the state income tax. Suspend collection of the state gas tax. Eliminate the automatic annual gas tax increase that started this year, a time-delayed provision of a tax hike bill enacted in 2015. Repeal the pension tax and exempt up to $40,000 in seniors’ retirement income from taxation. Increase the Earned Income Tax Credit and the per-child tax credit, helping young and working families in particular. Help restore America’s energy independence by upgrading Line 5. As senator, I will also press the Biden Administration to renew the Keystone Pipeline project.

3: As state representative, I voted in favor of these election reforms: Require a photo ID to vote, a measure supported by 80% of the population, plus state funding to provide photo IDs at no cost. Prohibit connecting voting machines to the Internet and block private individuals and entities from having access to the voter file. Remove dead people from the voter file. Make it a felony to knowingly provide false information on an absentee voter application. Use state records to verify absentee ballot signatures. In order to restore and maintain voter confidence in our elections, they must be safe, secure, and available to all qualified voters.

QUESTION 2: ECONOMIC SECURITY:

What policies do you support to help Michigan residents improve their economic positions?

QUESTION 3: ELECTIONS:

MATTHEW DAWSON, Democrat www.mattformi.com

1: Addressing the shortage of teachers requires multiple things. First of all, increasing pay and ensuring teachers do not have to go out of pocket for school supplies. Second, strengthen the voice of the teachers in collective bargaining. Third, keep parents out of curriculum on a constant basis. Finally, lowering costs of college education to allow for more students to go into teaching. Helping the teachers feel supported and taken care of will pass down onto the students. To further ensure quality and equitable educations, ensure funding is held equal and avoid school closures which lead to overcrowding.

2: Tax breaks for lower income and working class households. Close corporate tax loopholes and ensure the wealthy pay their fair share to keep burden lower on bulk of population. Repeal right to work laws to support stronger unions. Cap energy costs to prevent over billing from companies.

3: I support legislation to protect voting rights. This includes no ID requirements and opening the absentee ballots to all voters, free of reason needed.

BILL G. SCHUETTE, Republican Billgschuette.com

1: For me there are two key principles in education: First, parents must be in charge and have a seat at the education table. Nobody cares more about their children than their parents. Remote schooling and mask policies harmed learning, particularly for children from low-income families. Parents are best positioned to make educational decisions for their child, not bureaucrats. Second, schools must be open. Our kids were set back by bad decisions made by government and education “leaders.” We must invest in opportunities for parents to help their children make up for lost learning, especially to build skills in reading, writing and math.

2: Michiganders are overtaxed. It is the duty of your representatives to be good stewards of YOUR taxpayer dollars. We need to make Michigan the most dynamic state in the country to start your business, grow your enterprise and create jobs. We should cut taxes for ALL Michiganders. While Biden-inflation is cutting into your paycheck, your representatives in Lansing should put cash back in your wallet. The price of gas and groceries are going through the roof, it has never been more important to cut our state income tax. Let’s put more money in the pocket of every Michigander by cutting our income tax from 4.25% to 3.9% today.

3: Voting should be HONEST and EASY. It should be easy to vote but hard to cheat. Every Michigander must have confidence in the integrity and accuracy of our elections. This is why I support common-sense voter integrity measures like Photo ID requirements and Secure MI Vote. Photo ID requirements for voting is not a burdensome requirement. You must show an ID to board an airplane or cash a check. Photo ID requirements will go a long way in restoring faith in our elections. Voting must also be accessible for everyone, which is why I support the Republican legislature’s efforts to provide free IDs to ensure everyone has an ID to vote.

QUESTION 2:

What actions and policies would you recommend to improve our education system?

QUESTION 3:

What are the most pressing issues facing the State Board of Education and what actions would you take regarding them?

PAMELA PUGH, Democrat Did not respond.

MITCHELL ROBINSON, Democrat www.mitchellrobinsonforstateschoolboard.org

1: I am a career educator, with over 40 years of experience teaching students from Kindergarten to doctoral study. I hold bachelors, masters, and doctoral degrees in music education, and a certificate of advanced study in educational administration. I have been a classroom teacher, district supervisor, school administrator, teacher educator, and department chair, and have worked with state departments of education in New York, Connecticut, and Michigan. I have conducted and published research on music teacher evaluation systems and school-college collaboration, and served on the Editorial Boards of several research and policy journals.

2: Reduce or eliminate standardized testing requirements. No vouchers-public tax dollars are for public schools. Improve teacher working conditions and pay to address the teacher shortage. Restore music, art, and physical education classes that have been cut--all children deserve a rich, diverse curriculum. Eliminate the use of student test scores in teacher evaluation systems. Overturn “Right to Work” legislation. Require all teachers to be highly qualified and fully certified.

3: Public education in Michigan is under attack. I’m tired of school board members and teachers being targeted with made-up ALEC talking points about CRT, furries, and banning books. The other side of the aisle has no positive vision for public education--because their real goal is to destroy it. We need serious people talking about serious issues:* how to strengthen public institutions, like our schools; * provide a high quality education for all children, not just those who grow up in the suburbs; and, * defend our colleagues in the schools who are doing tremendous work under very difficult conditions.

TAMARA CARLONE, Republican carlone4education.com

1: As a Corporate CPA/Process Improvement Expert, I have helped many large organizations operate more efficiently and effectively. I have a degree in Business Administration from the University of Michigan, and my 2 children graduated from there as well, my son a biomedical engineer and my daughter a neuroscientist. In my 22 years of education activism, I have become an education expert and have led efforts on the national, state, and local levels to return our schools to excellence in academics. I speak about education all over MI. Please see the long list of experience I will bring to our SBE, and my plan of action, on my website.

2: We must provide every child with an excellent education to set them up for a great future and so that our state and nation continue to thrive with innovation and prosperity. Our schools are failing at this job in a big way, and it is completely unacceptable. People must be held accountable for this critical job of educating our youth. We must get back to excellence in reading, writing, arithmetic, and accurate American history and civics. We must get back to explicit phonics. 3rd grade reading proficiency went from 75% pre-Common Core (2010) to 44% 10 years in! Children must be able to read to learn. See my website for my extensive plan.

3: The most pressing issue facing the SBE is its lack of fulfilling its role. We must return the board to its constitutional purpose, and we must get our schools back to providing an excellent education for all children. Everybody needs to understand the power and accountability structure of MI schools so we can get it working again. Children only get one chance at a K-12 education, and we must get it right. Local boards also need to be educated on their critical role, and we must get back to parental rights and local control. There is a reason our founding fathers did not want national control in education, and we are seeing it play out.

LINDA LEE TARVER, Republican Lindatarver.com

1: Dr. Linda Lee Tarver, Ed.D, is a proud mom of two college graduates who both earned academic scholarship at High School graduation thanks to School Choice! She has more than 25 years as an educational advocate. Linda Lee is a former Michigan Civil Rights Commissioner and believes education is a Civil Right. In 2019, Dr. Tarver received the “Leadership in Individual & Social Responsibility” Award from Olivet College & the “Women For Racial Equity & Social Justice” Award from She Leads MI. Liberal ideologies & indoctrination have failed MI students and Linda Lee refuses to sit back and watch! Education in MI is not just political, it’s pitiful.

2: The public education in Michigan is inarguably dismantled and in great need of reconstruction. The pathway toward better education and excellence MUST come from the basics: reading (learning), writing (communication & comprehension), and arithmetic (critical thinking). My sole task is to promote policy to Educate, Not Indoctrinate, Not

Incarcerate, & Not Cremate! literacy is the most important success factor and the goal for which public education is expected to achieve. Literacy is defined simply as the ability to read & write. Yet, literacy is the most prevalent indicator of tragic failure to date among Michigan’s 1.3 million students.

3: The Michigan State Board of Education is responsible for K-12 education and community colleges. Working with the Michigan Legislature and Governor, the SBE is essential in recommending funding and guidance. The most pressing issue facing the Michigan State Board of Education is the lack of guidance in supporting parents, students, & responding to obvious failures in Michigan’s public education. Spending like drunken sailors on programs that don’t lead to LITERACY will take our already pathetic academic ranking even lower! All available resources should go to literacy, keeping schools safe and protected & cooperating with PARENTS (MCL 380.10).

DONNA GUNDLE-KRIEG, Libertarian nwmichiganlibertarians.org

1: My experience is varied, which makes me ideal to represent a population with varied backgrounds. My experience includes teaching, and writing about education policy. My background in communications and leadership has trained me to serve effectively on several boards, including as an elected township official in Mancelona. I want to serve on the board because I would bring a voice to the table which has previously been missing. As a Libertarian, I am interested in representing all children, parents and teachers, regardless of which party they belong to. I want to work with all parties to get the job done.

2: The state board should have minimal interference in local education. The board should facilitate recommendations and communications, but the local school board should be the main decision-makers regarding school policy. There should be more communication between parents, teachers, and administration. The “PTO’s” I have worked with are simply Parent Fundraising Organizations. Very few teachers are involved, and the function of these groups is to raise funds by selling candy. There would be far less conflict and more productivity if these PTOs were actually dedicated to education, and if parental input was valued beyond fundraising ideas.

3: Again, the department’s primary role should be to support and make recommendations to local school districts. The most pressing issues facing Michigan schools involve the balancing act between respecting educators, and at the same time honoring parents. After all, parents are the ones responsible for raising their children. Division would be minimized if parents were given the opportunity for actual input, and if, in turn, teachers felt supported by parents.

BILL HALL, Libertarian www.facebook.com/VoteBillHall

1: Attorney/partner in Warner Norcross + Judd, Michigan’s 2d largest law firm specializing in commercial real estate/mining law. Managed firm’s Real Estate Services Group for more than 10 years, about 40 attorneys/ paralegals. Listed in The Best Lawyers in America since 1995. Have a passion for serving our youth. Committed to improving education through freedom of choice and fiscal responsibility. Will be an independent voice on a Board riven by partisan politics.

2: The pandemic and the State’s authoritarian response severely damaged the education of a generation of Michigan students. At the same time, they led us to try new and innovative approaches, some of which were successful and should be encouraged. We learned that in many cases home, private and charter schools should be incentivized, as they are much more flexible than traditional public schools and deliver superior educational results. One-size-fits-all edicts from the State are inferior to policies developed by parents, teachers and schools to address local needs and goals. Hybrid or remote schooling methods work well for some but not all.

3: Recovering from the Pandemic – Pursue an educational policy based, first and foremost, on respect for the freedom of parents, teachers and schools to choose public and private educational programs they feel are best for their children. Focus on tutoring to repair the loss of education. Federal mandates (common core, transgender rights, etc.) – Leave decisions to local school districts, teachers and parents. Fiscal Responsibility – Freeze participation in existing underfunded defined benefit pension plans and shift future contributions to defined contribution plans; don’t bail out failing schools.

ETHAN HOBSON, U.S. Taxpayers Did not respond.

MARY ANNE HERING, Working Class www.workingclassfight.com

1: I am a long-time community college teacher and have an inside perspective about how and if students come prepared academically from our K-12 system. I have also been politically active, organizing in the working class, especially at Ford Rouge. I can give voice to the problems students, families and workers face when it comes to the lack of access to a quality public school education. I also have the experience campaigning as a Working Class Party Candidate since 2016 and have talked to thousands of teachers, and other school employees, parents and students about the problems they have faced in the schools and this system.

2: Simple. If children truly are our society’s most valuable resource, then ALL the economic resources needed to provide an excellent quality education, including the social and cultural experiences, should be put into public education. And to provided decent working conditions and good pay for all school employees. Since this government can finds millions to give in tax breaks to corporations, and billions for war, the money is there. Working people know this. They know how much they pay in taxes, and how much the lottery takes in. It should go to what people need.

3: Although funding per pupil has increased; and there is COVID relief funding, public school funding has not kept up with economic growth. There continues to be huge disparities in school districts. We know it is the wealthy school districts that have the best academic results. EVERY child should have the best of opportunities. Public money should go to public education and not handed over to corporations and real estate speculators. I would use the resources the office has to give people information that is hidden from them and to encourage teachers, students and parents to organize to fight for a tidal wave of money for the public schools.

How do your experience and education qualify you to serve as a Midland County Commissioner?

What are the most pressing issues facing the Midland County Commissioners, and what actions do you propose to address them?

QUESTION 3:

How will you balance your responsibilities to your district with the needs of the entire county?

DISTRICT 1

STEVEN GLASER, Republican - Unopposed

DISTRICT 4

CONNIE GLAVE, Democrat

1: As a pharmaceutical buyer, I learned leadership skills, being part of teams, customer service, logistics, organization, contracting and computer skills. In retirement I have spent 12 years feeding people in the community who are struggling by coordinating the food pantry at Messiah Lutheran Church and coordinating the Mobile Food Pantries for Midland County Emergency Food Pantry Network. We bring in a semi of food in once a month and we served between 250 and 300 plus families in multiple locations while I was coordinator. It required organization, coordinating volunteers and working with the locations. As the chair of the Midland County Democratic Party for 4 years I learned how to run a meeting and

speak in front of people.

2. Midland is a wonderful place to live but like many other cities there is a lack of affordable housing. Some cities are beginning to build their own affordable housing owned by and operated publicly. It would begin with finding funding. Next would be public input in the process to overcome the poor impression of affordable housing. No one wants it built in their area for fear of decreasing their home values. Assurances that it would be housing that any one of us would want to live in and well maintained should alleviate concerns about property values if they deliver what is promised. The dams along the Tittabawassee River are going to be an issue for those townships. The loss of recreation & economic activity is felt by the entire county.

3: There are some issues that will be unique to my district like the wind farm behind our house, while some issues impact a larger portion of the county, like the dams, the flood aftermath and drainage. Other issues cover the whole county like law enforcement public health and education. Although my primary responsibility would be to advocate for my district, public servants must be aware of what is going on in other areas too, because what happens in one area impacts other areas of the community as well. We need to be open to new ideas.

GAYE TERWILLEGAR, Republican

1: Prior to my 1st term serving with the Board of Commissioners in 2017, I received a Master’s in Public Health. It has proven to be beneficial in assisting with employee policies while serving as Vice-Chair of Human Services committee. I taught higher education at Delta College & was a nonprofit Director of Midland Partnership for Youth for 10 years. This included State/ Federal Grants, a 35-member Adult Coalition of community leaders and 16-member Youth Leadership Coalition. We worked closely with both Midland Chief of Police, Sheriff & ALL community sectors. We were instrumental in assisting with policy development & initiated Dump your Drugs program in Midland County. Finally, I am a 4th generation Midlander- I know Midland well!

2: Most pressing county issues - * Maintaining a highly qualified workforce at a fair wage for BOTH employee and Midland County from a financial perspective. This will be accomplished by maintaining balanced budgets & prioritizing personnel needs through Finance and Human Service Committees. * Distribution of broadband to ALL county residents; accomplished by working closely with Midland Business Alliance and Township Supervisors. * Oversee the construction of the dams (on budget & on time) in Midland and Gladwin Counties by working closely with both Four Lakes Task Force & Gladwin County Commissioners. * Equitable distribution of ARPA funds throughout Midland County by working with both city and county leaders & constituents.

3: Over the past 6 years, the townships in District 4 that I serve (Midland, Ingersoll & Mt Haley Townships) are very efficient. I provide a monthly Midland County update to each township (in person). Townships ask questions or express concerns, when necessary, but are generally very effective on executing and delivering their required/ necessary responsibilities to their constituents. My demands serving Midland County are divided between serving on 1 of 3 committees to vote on potential policies. I also service as Liaison to 6 local Midland County authorized

boards. Our current team of commissioners work together VERY well and have weathered a 500-year flood, while providing all necessary services during an ongoing pandemic.

DISTRICT 5

ALLISON WILCOX, Democrat allisonwilcoxmidlandco.com

1: For the last 22 years, I’ve known Midland as a great place to live, work, and raise a family. I’ve been an active volunteer in the community, giving me insight into issues facing our county. My education in science and engineering and my experience as a manufacturing engineer taught me how to look at data, ask questions, and use teamwork to arrive at practical solutions to problems. County commissioners set policy, oversee the budget and the various county departments, and advocate for their constituents. I believe that it’s time for the voters of my district to have a choice in who represents them on the board of commissioners. I will bring a new perspective to the work of the commission, one that I believe is needed in Midland County.

2: The most pressing county issues are: (1) to ensure community resiliency against future environmental and public health events and (2) to encourage smart, sustainable economic growth. To address the first, the county should continue to engage with the Four Lakes Task Force as the dams are rebuilt. We should invest in the county public health department to better meet community needs in the areas of physical and mental health. To address the second, we should improve infrastructure, including broadband availability and County Connection transit. Also, Midland County should find new ways to promote affordable housing, to improve childcare availability for working parents, and to help Midland be more attractive to a young, diverse workforce.

3: All areas of the county must acknowledge the needs and concerns of the different districts. For example, district 5 was seriously impacted by the dam failures of 2020, even though the dams are in other districts. District 5 residents want to feel confident that their homes will be safe in case of future flood threats. That must be balanced with the desire of the folks who live on the shores of Sanford Lake and Wixom Lake to see their lakes restored. With good planning and good faith effort by all parties concerned, rebuilding the dams combined with responsible land development in the City of Midland and surrounding areas can decrease the likelihood of future flooding. Working as a team with all concerned stakeholders is vital.

JIM GEISLER, Republican

1: I’ve had the honor of serving as your current County Commissioner where I have applied experience and in-depth knowledge of Midland County operations and systems. My current leadership roles include ChairAdministration and Operations and Vice Chair-Finance Committees. I’ve held leadership positions in numerous organizations in our community. As a business owner and employer, I know the issues that face Midland. My business, Geisler Enterprises, is a 60,000 square foot warehouse and business incubator that helps new business start-ups become successful; and we donate space/equipment for various community events.

2: As Chair of Administration and Operations, top issues being addressed are: Flood mitigation, recovery and rebuilding dams. Work continues with partner groups to develop flood control solutions and rebuild dams; Midland received funding due to our work with State/Federal elected officials to get a disaster area declaration. Make broadband affordable and available to all residents of Midland County. Attract and retain a talented workforce so Midland County continues to deliver the best services. Economic development of the Great Lakes Bay Region by looking for opportunities to attract businesses to Midland.

3: Solving our top issues will enhance the livelihoods of many people in our County and that’s good for everyone, including my district! We all want a safe, stable, healthy community with fair, transparent and responsive government. Midland County is a special place. It has been an honor serving you and I hope to continue. I’m Jim Geisler and I humbly ask for your vote on August 2nd. If you reelect me, I pledge to continue using my leadership, experience and vast knowledge of county operations and systems to keep Midland a place where people are proud to raise their families and where businesses thrive and grow.

DISTRICT 6

SARAH SCHULZ, Democrat

1: I am an experienced community leader, listener, and problem solver. In my career, I workforce a national education-based nonprofit and my role is to support my organization to make the best HR/People decisions be they in management, strategy, policy, or practice. I have business education and experience that have given me the hard skills of thoughtful resource allocation and budgeting as well as management and strategy, organizational development, and communication. Truly, it has been my life’s work helping and supporting people and organizations to do their best work and all of these skills represent the qualities needed to be a great county commissioner.

2: The current biggest challenge of the Board is perspective and proximity to the people of Midland County. People are not aware of the work of County Board or who their commissioner is. Our commission lacks representation from all facets of the community & enhanced diversity is critical to good decisions. The commission needs a fresh perspective, & commitment to being available to the people they serve. In addition, main issues of the County center around the safe & long-term rebuilding of the dams, which I am in favor of so long as precautions are taken to protect citizens in the flood plain. In addition, affordable housing, childcare & access to a modernized health department as well as enhanced transportation systems are all top issues.

3: A commissioner’s primary responsibility is to listen to the needs of the people of their district and then do what’s best for the county. Being present and available to the people they serve to answer questions, help

with understanding of the work and priorities of the commission and bringing those concerns to the commission as a whole is the work of a commissioner.

ERIC A. DORRIEN, Republican

1: Since the last election, I have retired from the Federal Government after over 20 years of service to the 4th Congressional District of Michigan, including, all of Midland County. I am the current office holder of the 6th District, being duly elected five (5) times, so I’ve been on the Board of Commissioners for the last 10 years. I am a Midland native and I am here to stay.

2: Our most concerning issue facing Midland County is maintaining our level of service provided to our residents while facing a relatively flat tax base. Our expenses are always, it seems, increasing, so trying to provide the services that our constituents expect remains a challenge.

3: In the event there is ever an issue that pits the County’s needs against the 6th District’s needs, I will always side with the constituents of the 6th District. Period.

DISTRICT 7

ALAYNAH SMITH, Democrat

1: I’ve lived in Midland County my entire life. I am strongly connected with our community as I have worked here, gone to school here, attended church here, and currently own a home here. I am a local social worker and see firsthand issues affecting Midland residents. I work with these residents to help them find resources to stabilize their lives. It is my philosophy that by helping people develop their best selves, we all benefit. I have been involved in numerous jobs and volunteer efforts across our countyfrom helping with local elections to fostering pets to organizing many community gardening or cleaning projects. I consider myself very invested in Midland County and look forward to having another way to advocate for my neighbors.

2: The most pressing issues I feel are facing our county are a lack of affordable housing and struggles with transportation across the city and county. Talking with members of my community, many of them part of the ALICE population- people who are Asset Limited Income Constrained Employed. They are unable to afford safe housing for their families. I would support zoning changes and encouraging builders to create smaller affordable housing for young people, families, and seniors. This would encourage more people to stay and work in our community. I would also work with County Connection & Dial-A-Ride to expand their services and hours as feasible, so more community members are able to make use of these important services for work, school, etc.

3: My district is entirely within the City of Midland. However, my goals are to better the entire County of Midland for all its residents. An example of this, most folks in the city can access the internet at an affordable price as they live within a more suburban area. However, when I was living in Warren Township, it was very difficult to access the internet and I needed to drive 20 minutes to do so. Rural county members would benefit from increased internet connectivity, and I plan to advocate for this as well. Increased ability to access the internet helps students, employees, local businesses, and our entire community. I plan to advocate for our city, our county, and my 7th District in the best way that I can.

SCOTT D. NOESEN, Republican

1: I am a 47-year resident of Midland County and all those years I have lived in District 7 – so I know the county and my district quite well. I am running for a 5th 2-year term as Commissioner for District 7 and know the issues of both the county and my district quite well. I am currently the Vice Chairman of the Board of Commissioners, Chairman of the Finance Committee, and Vice Chair of the Administration and Operations Committee. I have specific training in Stakeholder Engagement processes, Project Management, and Scenario Development that directly apply to work that needs to be done in our county.

2: 1) Getting the dams and lakes rebuilt. I work closely with our delegated authority - The Four Lakes Task Force to make this happen. 2) Internet Connectivity – the COVID pandemic highlighted the need for county wide high-speed internet. I sit on the Midland County Internet Connectivity group tasked with achieving internet connectivity for ALL.

3) Using ARPA monies - I have worked with the County Administration to develop a process to make equitable decisions on how to spend this money. 4)“Unfunded mandates” from our State – I am on the board of the Michigan Association of Counties to advocate against these mandates.

3: The key to issues that arise within the district is listening –understanding the specific needs of our constituents and helping them resolve problems. County wide issues are often shared by many other counties and I have spent time and energy with three specific organizations that are committed to helping counties share experiences and resolutions to key problems. I sit on the Board of the Michigan Association of Counties (MAC), am active with the National Association of Counties (NACO), and am the current President of the Northern Michigan Counties Association (NMCA).

8-Year Term – Vote for TWO (2)

QUESTION 1:

Why are you running for the Michigan Supreme Court and how do your educational, occupational, civic and community experiences qualify you to serve on this court?

QUESTION 2:

Describe, in lay terms, what the Michigan Supreme Court does and the challenges it faces. How would you address these challenges?

QUESTION 3:

What, in your opinion, are the two greatest areas of need in the Michigan justice system, and how should the Supreme Court respond to them?

RICHARD BERNSTEIN

The BlindJustice.com/

1: I was born legally blind and my unique life challenge has helped fuel my passion for fairness and driven my professional, legal, and public service work. I believe in justice that is blind to ideology, blind to special interests, and blind to partisan politics. As a Justice on the Michigan Supreme Court, I listen, make sure all sides are heard, and that the rule of law is always served. A good judge knows what it means to struggle. As former head of the public service division of The Sam Bernstein Law Firm, I spent my career fighting to ensure justice is served for all people, including those with disabilities.

2: The Michigan Supreme Court has two key functions. The first is to serve as the court of “last resort” in which it decides some of the most significant judicial cases in the State of Michigan. The second is to oversee the administration of all other courts in the state which includes establishing rules for practices and procedures in all Michigan courts. A key issue facing Michigan courts right now is the backlog due to the Covid-19 pandemic resulting in lengthy waits for cases to be adjudicated. I believe all courts should safely return to in-person court, move through the backlog, and use virtual court when necessary.

3: Greater access to justice in both criminal and civil justice systems are the biggest needs. For example, in order for public defenders to fairly represent their clients in criminal proceedings they need the tools and resources to conduct a proper investigation of the facts. In civil proceedings, the question is how can we ensure all people have an opportunity to participate and navigate the justice system without getting left behind. The Court’s Justice For All Task Force is committed to working towards 100% access to justice in the civil system and I applaud the effort to make Michigan courts more accessible to all people statewide.

KYRA HARRIS BOLDEN Boldenforjustice.com

1: I am an attorney, currently serving my second term, representing the 35th District in the Michigan State House. I have gotten 5 bi-partisan bills passed and signed into law. I am a graduate of Southfield Public Schools and received my bachelor’s degree from Grand Valley State University and Juris Doctor from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law. I decided to run for Michigan Supreme Court because I love Michigan, have practiced law and participated in making state law, and I want to ensure equal justice under the law for generations.

2: The Michigan Supreme Court serves as an equal and impartial third branch of government and does not make policy or law. The Court is responsible for ruling on cases brought before it based upon the evidence presented and to make independent, reasoned judgment based upon the law. As a non-partisan judicial candidate, the Michigan Judicial Canons prohibit answering questions regarding issues, or taking positions on matters that could be presented to the court. I believe that we have an opportunity to protect justice for generations. We have the opportunity to ensure access to justice and equal justice under the law.

3: As a non-partisan judicial candidate, the Michigan Judicial Canons prohibit answering questions regarding issues, or taking positions on matters that could be presented to the court.

PAUL HUDSON www.hudsonforjustice.com

1: I’m often asked why I would run for elected office in a political environment as nasty and divisive as ours. My answer is always the same: We need good people of good character to step up for these positions. Now, more than ever, we need our most qualified and experienced candidates to step up to the plate to run for office. I lead the appeals group at one of Michigan’s top law firms, clerked for a top federal judge, graduated from Cornell and Georgetown Law, and have served as lead counsel in more than 150 cases in the Michigan Supreme Court and Court of Appeals.

2: The Michigan Supreme Court sits atop the justice system in the state, and serves as the ultimate umpire for all legal disputes in Michigan, especially those involving the most important and complex issues of constitutional interpretation. The biggest challenge the Michigan Supreme Court faces is the politicization of our courts. Simply put, we need to keep the politics and politicians out of our courts. The Michigan Supreme Court is a nonpartisan institution—it’s on the nonpartisan section of the ballot for a reason—and I take this very seriously. People need to be able to trust that their judges are not just politicians in robes.

3: In addition to the politicization issue I discussed above, our justice system as a whole needs to be far more efficient. It can take years to process cases, and in many courtrooms across the state the system is set up for the convenience of the individual judge, rather than the public at large. There is no excuse for this, and it needs to change. One way to change this is through the smart use of technology. Through Zoom and other technology platforms, we can make the justice system more accessible, less expensive, and more efficient.

KERRY LEE MORGAN

1: The Supreme Court needs Justices who will apply the law as written, not as it ought to be written in the mind of the Judge. My background in the law for over forty years has taught me the importance of this purpose. My experience in the practice of law before judges has taught me that judges are sometimes reluctant to simply apply the law as written. I can bring a balanced respect for the written law and the Constitution in particular to the bench, so that Justice may be done.

2: Article VI of the Michigan Constitution provides the Court exercise only judicial power, including superintending control, adopting rule of practice and procedure, and to issue written decisions in cases and controversies that come before it. In so doing it must secure the rights of the people by confining the government’s power strictly within its Constitutional boundaries. It does not enjoy any power to make law or carry the law into execution. It does not enjoy any power to substitute its own political matrix for that of the parties, the legislature or Governor. It has no power to insert new rights into the Constitution.

3: The future of the judicial system is for the People to decide, but that future must recover a solid commitment to the rule of law, not the law of judges. Michigan Lawyers must also be freed from the politicized State Bar of Michigan by elimination of compulsory membership. The Supreme Court should be leading this fight. Instead, it sides with the Bar. It compels lawyers to pay money to the Bar for the propagation of ideas with which they disagree. The Court also tramples down the natural rights of conscience in the process. Securing natural rights is the states only compelling interest.

BRIAN ZAHRA www.zahra4justice.com

1: I am the only member of the Court to bring prior trial court and appellate court experience to the job. Having tried hundreds of cases and reviewed on appeal thousands more, I possess a wealth of experience and knowledge relating to the proper application of statutes and court rules to cases. My passion for the rule of law and equal justice under law has also led me to Chair the Justice for All Commission (discussed below), to ensure access to our civil justice system to those in need of legal assistance. This unparalleled blend of experience and dedication to our justice system makes me uniquely qualified to serve another term on the Court.

2: The primary function of the Court is to interpret Michigan law. Courts do not make law. Elected legislative representatives make our laws. The greatest challenge for the Court is to state what the law is and not what we think the law ought to be. Judicial restraint accomplishes this challenge while acknowledging that equal justice under law is the foundational promise of our legal system. Equal justice under law can only be achieved when litigants can be confident that judges will restrain themselves to the proper interpretation of the law.

3: Too many people are denied meaningful access to the civil justice system because they cannot afford a lawyer. These cases involve very important issues, like housing, domestic disputes and debt collection. I chair a

commission that is developing strategies to narrow this justice gap by rethinking the delivery of legal assistance. Another significant challenge to our court system is catching up on the backlog of cases that developed as a result of the pandemic. This is best addressed by utilizing retired judges to help resolve old cases, and encouraging litigants to use alternative dispute resolution in the civil context.

One of the unique features of Delta is that its service area consists of three counties – Bay, Midland and Saginaw. Three representatives from each county make up the nine member board.

ALEX CLARK

1: I have worked in automotive dealerships for the last 11 years, with the

last 4 with the Garber Auto Group as a Finance Manager. Every day I see the effects that soaring college debt is having on families. Student loans are crippling these folks to where they can’t afford to purchase homes, vehicles or give back to their communities. I’m running to keep Delta College affordable to anyone that wants to attend has the ability to do so without crushing debt. Working in finance I know how to look at budgets and find ways to save money and do so without hurting the quality of education the students will receive. I’m also running because I hear too often that residents want to hear more about how their tax dollars are being spent at Delta and want more accountability from the Trustees. If elected I have promised to attend every city council/township board meeting at least once per year to give updates on the college.

2: The first issue is that the Great Lakes Bay Region is in a position where we are hurting for workers going into the skilled trades. Enrollment in these programs at Delta are down and we need to be proactively looking for ways to fill these programs again. First thing we need to do is ending the stigma that is attached to going to a community college or going into a skilled trades program. This needs to start early on and if elected on want to work with the recruiters at Delta and our local school board members to begin the conversations with freshmen in high school about how great of a career they could have going into skilled trades. Not everyone is meant for a 4 year university and as a society we need to be coached to tell young people that it’s ok not to. Statistics show that a strong community college helps to bolster the economy in the region. We need Delta to keep training people to go into jobs that will help bring new businesses into the area creating more jobs.

3. The board needs to become more active in working with local school boards in the county that they represent and stay more active in the community. The more active the Trustees are in the local schools the easier it will be to start ending the stigma attached to community college and the skilled trades.

2: The past and present Delta College Board of Trustees have done a

wonderful service to Delta College, its students, faculty, staff, and the MidMichigan region in which it serves. However, it is very important to be aware of change and how to make the best decisions for change is critical, my years of owning and operating my own business and serving on several boards have provided me with knowledge and discernment to assist in the decision-making process as well as the development of the necessary communication skills.

3: The best actions for addressing issues with board members is always good communication skills and how to arrive at the best solutions for each unique challenge facing the board.

JON LAUDERBACH

1: As a judge, I was called upon to evaluate opposing viewpoints and make decisions supported by the law and an objective review of the facts. Many

such decisions involved the admissibility of scientific or expert testimony. In addition, I served by appointment of the Michigan Supreme Court on Michigan’s Attorney Discipline Board from 2015-2021, and chaired the Board in 2020 and 2021. As a result of these experiences, I am able to fairly and objectively evaluate competing positions and reach a conclusion based on the law and evidence. I have also served on the boards of directors of both for-profit and non-profit enterprises. These experiences have taught me to work collaboratively with fellow board members for the betterment of the enterprise. All of these experiences have prepared me be an objective, consensus-seeking member of the Board of Education.

2: I believe the most pressing issues facing the Board of Education are continued maintenance and improvement of our facilities and infrastructure, recruitment and retention of talent, and the transition of position of Superintendent. The voters approved bonds to finance significant upgrades to our school buildings in 2014. The Board of Education has used these financial resources prudently and most of our school buildings are in excellent condition. That said, there is more to do. In addition, many veteran teachers have elected to retire or leave the profession since the onset of the pandemic in 2020. MPS has been, and should continue to be, the employer of choice for education professionals in our region. But there is more to do. MPS must retain and continue to recruit the best and brightest to educate our kids. Finally, our Superintendent’s impending retirement requires the Board to work together to attract an innovative, top-tier candidate to replace him.

3: For our facilities challenges, we should use a combination of cash from our fund balance, debt financing and community support to fund improvements that Midland can be proud of. For our retention and recruiting challenges, we must continue to provide a work environment in which our veteran professionals want to work. They deserve to be shown respect and genuine appreciation for the work they do, and they deserve to be paid for the top quality service they provide to our stakeholders. MPS also needs to continue to be a strong partner in economic development efforts, to make sure that the Midland area is a place where up-and-coming education professionals want to live, work and play. And to recruit our next superintendent, the Board of Education needs to provide an air of stability and consistency. Top candidates will only be attracted to a district that has a high-quality, high-functioning Board.

PHIL RAUSCH

1: I was first elected to the Midland Public Schools’ Board of Education in 2018 and began serving in 2019. Since then, I have gained valuable experience by serving on the Curriculum, HR, and Finance subcommittees. As a trustee, I was also appointed by fellow board members to serve as the Secretary and then Vice President. As a parent of a 3rd generation MPS students, I am extremely passionate about and dedicated to the success of Midland Public Schools for all students. Having graduated from MPS, I went on to achieve a degree in Chemical Engineering before beginning my career at Hemlock Semiconductor. During my career, I also completed an MBA which together provide great background in the private sector to bring to the Board of Education. Serving on the Board has been a true honor and learning experience as I continue to strive for effective governance in my role through collaborative stakeholder input, thoughtful questioning, and long-term vision setting.

2: First is student achievement for students that are college-bound and for students that want to pursue careers outside of a four-year college track. We need to meet the demands of our local businesses to provide top skilled trades talent and vocational programs where students are encouraged to pursue a wide variety of noble professions. Second, our students must be safe every day when they go to school. I have strongly supported the physical hardening of our buildings, but that alone cannot be the only thing that we do to increase student safety. We must continue to focus on the emotional intelligence and wellbeing of our students as part of our safety. Third, we need to make sure that the school system is optimized for the families of the 21st-century. We as a district need to make sure that we provide access to before and after care that is structured for students to grow and utilize resources that can provide additional help in their growth.

3: Student achievement and growth are nurtured by our dedicated teachers, paraprofessionals, and support staff – MPS must continue to be an employer of choice. Each year, the board must review the data to understand areas of strength and opportunities for improvement. I will look to the staff for continuous improvement, best practices, and longitudinal studies to measure long-term outcomes. The social and emotional health of our students is paramount to student safety. I will continue to advocate for an effective DEI strategy, the use of more counselors in the school, and early intervention and access to mental health professionals. I am proud of the support that MPS offers in times of need along with our community partners. I will continue to advocate for the expansion of our before and after school structured programs and preprimary center. I am very proud to have successfully advocated through our local legislators for the expansion of 31A at-risk funding for MPS.

JENNIFER RINGGOLD ringgold4mps.org

1: Raised in MPS, I am now an active MPS parent. I began publicly advocating for students in 2017 and have regularly attended board meetings since. I attended Parent Information Committee meetings and was invited to join the District School Improvement Committee. In order to address inequities, I have met with administrators, supported teachers, and stood with marginalized families. I have a clear understanding of school finances from experience as PTO treasurer, sitting in on MPS budget meetings, and balancing my own nonprofit accounts. I began my career teaching middle school Science and have spent the last 10 years working as a faith educator. On a daily basis, I work with and listen to a wide variety of people of all ages and viewpoints.

2: The most pressing issues currently facing the MPS Board of Education are: * A nationwide effort to undermine public schools and teachers. * The retention of teachers, paraprofessionals, and other school staff. * Supporting the needs of all students, especially those who are marginalized and bullied due to a lack of understanding of the diverse backgrounds of students who are different from dominant culture. * A communication disconnect between the Board, administration, staff, families, and the community.

3: I propose: * A focus on community relations with more transparent, helpful, and direct communication. Families and our wider community need to understand how we are equipping students.* New approaches for

board member accountability for community engagement. * Listening sessions for our staff to share what they need, and administrative commitment to support staff needs. * Staff training to help create safe and accessible learning environments for students, and hiring additional staff to support students. There must be a continued effort to seek out highly trained and diverse professionals to meet the increased mental health and learning needs of MPS students.

MATTHEW SAMOCKI www.facebook.com/samocki4MPS

1: I have several years of experience with Midland Public Schools (MPS) and I want to ensure MPS continues to thrive as an excellent school district for our community. I grew up in Midland as a child of two MPS educators and I am the parent of children who attend MPS along with a wife who teaches in MPS. I am a certified 7th-12th grade social studies teacher with ten years of experience and I am a certified school administrator with three years of experience as a MPS high school assistant principal. I also have three years of experience as a program manager at Central Michigan University which included developing kindergarten-5th grade science curriculum and I provided professional learning for teachers across the State of Michigan. Lastly, I have a master’s degree in teaching and curriculum and a doctorate in education which included a dissertation specific to considering alternatives to out-of-school suspension programs, social-emotional learning, and developmental assets of youth.

2: It is critical for the Midland Public Schools (MPS) Board of Education to ensure students and staff come to school in safe and secure learning environments to protect everyone from potential threats to our schools. It is also important for our MPS Board of Education to continue to keep providing high-quality facilities for our students and staff, not only for safety and security, but to also provide exceptional opportunities for our students and staff. Lastly, it is important for the MPS Board of Education to continue to consider the everchanging health and economic landscape for our students, parents, staff, and community that may affect a wide range of health and quality of life outcomes before ever stepping foot inside MPS schools. Addressing these pressing issues will allow the school district to continue to provide the students, staff, and the community with excellent academic opportunities.

3: If elected, I will collaborate with the Midland Public Schools (MPS) Board of Education, students, parents, staff, and the community for MPS to provide safe and secure learning environments, high-quality facilities and consider the everchanging health and economic landscape to provide excellent academic opportunities. Additionally, I will research best practices, build relationships, communicate, consider all points of view, and adapt to unique situations to help all students and staff, regardless of demographics, environments, or experiences, to enable all to achieve success in MPS. I guarantee my actions as a member of the MPS Board of Education intend to enhance educational opportunities for students and staff now and for years to come to help make our community the best it can be where we all learn, live, work and play.

1: More experience: Counsel for Hospice of Michigan 5 years, Youth sports coach 24 years, High school baseball coach 21 years, Member of Attorney Discipline Board 25 years, Counsel - Upper Peninsula companies 24 years, Worked with medical community for 41 years. I have held policymaking positions, financial oversight positions, audit positions, compliance and human resources positions, all of which will assist as a MPS Board member. My focus would be a return to academic and vocational emphasis, administered by those with the drive to make the schools the best, and not be satisfied with above average schools in a state of below average accomplishments. My background in due process, informed consent, and open government (including school district issues) will provide insight to board members that seem to believe issues can legally be deliberated and effectively made in private.

2: A meaningful board. The MPS Board exhibits a complete lack of ideas submitted by board members. Why be a Board member if you bring no ideas? Voting as requested by administration is not being a meaningful board member. Ideas: Endowment of teaching positions as these positions will never be subject to layoffs in down financial times; Assign a pool of money to each school where teachers determine on what the funds will be spent, not the central office; Security: The District chose to “harden” the front entrance of some schools as if a bad actor would come to the front door and sign in, perhaps show his ID. Windows just feet away from the “hardened” front doors are unchanged and easy access points. Throwing money away on superficial measures to generate the perception that “something” was being done to protect students and staff produced no greater protection. End all CRT “training”. Change leadership. If you want better schools, elect a better board. See MidlandSchools.com for more.

3. See above plus provide for actual public involvement. Permitting parents 3 minutes to raise and present issues, suggestions, etc. suggests the board needs none of your thoughts. How arrogant of our administration to limit comment to 3 minutes. In a nutshell, Create endowed positions; actually secure the schools; permit teachers a budget with which they determine spending; change leadership as the last two years made clear this group of leaders are not up to the task. Let us not continue with those that exhibited poor leadership and poor decisions while ignoring parents. End CRT training during school hours. Offer CRT seminars in conjunction with the teachings of Martin Luther King and other credible authors. Teaching stereotypes and racist ideology conceived by Marxists law professors should end. Done well, race becomes a non-factor in personal relations, business, and the law. Teaching that all white people are inherently racist is not what the public schools should teach.
