Campaign themes

2016

Roosen's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]

“

Jobs and the Economy
We can't let up. We must continue to make Michigan the Comeback State through innovation and job creation. We cannot afford to go back to the Lost Decade under Jennifer Granholm. We emerged from that disastrous era because we finally made the tough choices. We need to support our job creators and reduce burdensome regulations so they can have the freedom to create better paying jobs. But, government should not pick the winners and losers. Only by across the board reforms can we achieve a strong, stable economy that last longer than the term from one Governor to the next.

Roads
We must prioritize spending on roads. We can't just raise taxes time after time or kick the can down the road. We have to continue to focus on building a budget surplus through streamlining government, eliminating redundancies and creating efficiencies to save money. Southeast Michigan possesses half of of our state’s population and we need a strong voice in Lansing to fight for us.

Reduce Spending and Regulations
We must continue to reform, modernize, and streamline state and local government to provide high service levels at lower costs. Inefficiencies and redundancy are two main reasons we face tax increases that we don't need. We need to learn to live within our means and promote "best practices" across the state of Michigan so we can best use the resources we have. For example, we can encourage local governments and district courts to collaborate and share services as the Northville, Plymouth and Canton communities do. When we eliminate the bloat and burdensome regulations in government we win – both fiscally and in efficiency.[2]
