Campaign themes
2016
Ross' campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
| “ | SPENDING
Tax dollars should be spent to serve the tax-payers, not the special interests and lobbyists. Our infrastructure must be a priority. LABOR While job growth has been on the increase throughout Michigan, the state must work to increase our labour participation rate and expand opportunity for all. EDUCATION Education is a great way to provide equal opportunity. Our high schools must be a focus of constant improvement, as our children are the future of the nation. Through expanded scholarships, we can ensure that our children get every opportunity possible. HEALTHCARE Our citizens must have access to healthcare. The special interests that politicans have partnered with have only driven prices up and put profits in the pockets of drug companies- all at the expense of the citizens. This will end. BUSINESS Michigan must be the best place for the start of small businesses. As a small business owner, I know that our small businesses create more jobs, and provide better economic stimulus than unbridled government spending. Lower taxes for our job creators. TAXES Higher taxes squash growth and suffocate the middle class. Our tax dollars must first be used efficiently, and not at the behest of lobbyists. As Representative, I will work to keep taxes down.[2] |
