Our Platform

A vision built by the people, for the people. We are committed to policies that return power to District 10 and ensure Lansing works for working families.

Empowering Local Voices

Lansing too often issues top-down mandates that don't fit the unique needs of District 10. True democracy means people have a direct say in the decisions that impact their daily lives.

  • Delegate System & Community Assemblies: Hosting regular, welcoming community gatherings with food and casual conversation. This delegate system empowers neighbors to bond, debate ideas, and engage in collective policy making to propose legislation directly to Andrew.
  • Local Control & Empowerment: Returning decision-making power to local municipalities on issues of zoning, community development, and public safety.

Supporting Main Street & Local Enterprise

Our economy should work for the people who actually build it. We must prioritize local small businesses and workers over massive corporate handouts to out-of-state monopolies.

  • Worker Cooperatives: Creating grants and tax incentives to help workers buy out and cooperatively run local businesses that are accountable to the workers or community, not megacorps or shareholders.
  • Ending Corporate Welfare: Redirecting funds currently used to subsidize massive corporations toward local infrastructure and small business loans.

Protecting Our Shared Resources

There are certain things that belong to all of us—our parks, our waterways, and our public institutions. We must fiercely defend the "commons" from privatization and exploitation for profit.

  • Water is a Right: Legally classifying access to clean, affordable water as a human right and stopping the privatization of municipal water systems.
  • Public Land Defense: Fully funding state parks and community commons, ensuring these spaces are maintained and accessible to working families, never sold off to developers.

Thriving Suburban Neighborhoods

Suburban areas like District 10 have unique priorities that require pragmatic solutions. We must focus on practical infrastructure, excellent schools, and safe communities.

  • Infrastructure First: Prioritizing immediate maintenance for local roads and investing in smart traffic mitigation, ensuring a smooth commute for working families.
  • Neighborhood Character: Defending local zoning control to balance necessary growth with the preservation of our parks, green spaces, and the quiet suburban feel we love.

Absolute Transparency & Accountability

Politicians should be public servants, not self-serving elites. Our campaign operates on the radical idea that elected officials must be completely transparent and instantly accountable to their constituents.

  • Recallable Delegates: Championing legislation to make it easier for voters to recall elected delegates who abandon their platform or violate the public trust. We believe in true accountability.
  • Smart Transparency: Maintaining an open-door policy by publicizing an open schedule for all community events, while prioritizing safety by publishing private or high-security meetings on a delayed log. We still require open-book accounting for all state contracts.
