Campaign themes

2014

Jessup's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[3]

Recovery

  • Excerpt: "Without the hard work and dedication of Michigan’s seniors and retirees, the many gains in the workplace, at home and in the community would not be relevant today. As State Representative, Brandon will work relentlessly to repeal Michigan’s anti-labor and anti-Democracy policies. Brandon supports raising the minimum wage for Michigan’s working class and helping our state’s student’s by restoring the state’s Earned Income Tax Credit."

Reinvestment

  • Excerpt: "Reinvestment in our communities and neighborhoods requires capital and credit. As State Representative, Brandon will work to create a public banking system for Michigan. A public banking system will help meet the credit and capital needs of the community, by providing financial hubs through community banking in partnership with every municipality in the state. New revenue streams will aid in lowering the cost of living, infuse capital and generate more spending power for working families."

Revitalization

  • Excerpt: "Brandon understands the importance of interaction between neighbors and the community. Our campaign builds the way forward to sustainable communities by supporting small businesses and local commerce. Revitalizing our community requires building our local economies, cutting red tape for entrepreneurs and innovators to do business in the Michigan’s 10th district are priority."
