Campaign themes
2016
Stone's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[4]
Investing in infrastructure
- Excerpt: "Having a higher diesel tax will help ensure that out-of-state trucking companies pay their fair share, and protect Michigan drivers from a steep tax increase."
- Excerpt: "Increase state funding for mass transportation programs in Michigan's metropolitan areas."
Education
- Excerpt: "Overzealous testing by the state and local school districts has robbed children of nearly a month out of the school year, giving them less time to learn and higher expectations. We need to start trusting teachers and get back to making school about learning and fight the trend for non-stop evaluation of student performance."
Veterans and first responders
- Excerpt: "By helping more veterans become therapists, Michigan can better care for veterans who struggle with post-traumatic stress to find therapists that understand their experiences."
- Excerpt: "All-too-often, DHS funding is funneled through a variety of departments and locales, leaving local police and fire departments with very little."
Senior citizens
- Excerpt: "Republicans are always trying to find ways to mess with the medical benefits of senior citizens and to privatize social security. Brian Stone will resist every effort to do so. He's ready to fight for Michigan's seniors to ensure that they receive the benefits they've earned."
