2016

Howey's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[4]

“

Jobs and the Economy

  • Reviving Michigan’s economy will continue to be Bob’s top priority for hard working Downriver taxpayers. As a small business owner, Bob knows that government doesn't create jobs. The government simply creates an environment where entrepreneurs can succeed. We must focus on keeping taxes low, flat and fair. In addition, we need to reduce and eliminate any unnecessary or burdensome regulations. We must continue to expand and focus on vocational education opportunities to meet workforce demand!

Education

  • Our children deserve an excellent education in order to prepare them to be successful members of the community. Bob is committed to addressing our funding formula and focusing on increased student achievement. Competition and flexibility should be available to our parents and teachers in order to give our students the best opportunity to learn. Schools are best run by local people at the the local level.

Budget and State Spending

  • Bob believes that you deserve an effective and efficient government. We must demand more accountability and transparency from our government. Bob's focus will be to prioritize state spending and eliminate waste and inefficiencies.

Pro-Life

  • "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness." Bob believes that life is a gift from God and will fight for right's of the unborn.

Pro-Second Amendment

  • Bob strongly believes in "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." We should not be taking rights away from law abiding citizens! All American citizens have a fundamental right and a duty to protect themselves and their families.[5]
