Campaign themes
2016
Smith's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
Economy
- Excerpt: "Due to the cyclical nature of its leading industry, Michigan is will continue to be susceptible to recession for the foreseeable future. We must plan accordingly while continuing to incentivize other businesses in an attempt to diversify."
Flint water crisis
- Excerpt: "The most cost effective solution which provides for permanent clean water to be made available in all flint [sic] homes should be executed without delay. As this situation happened under State emergency management, the state should not fail to pay for whatever the solution is. We should however seek Federal assistance as much as we are able."
Infrastructure repair
- Excerpt: "Michigan needs to continue investment in its transportation infrastructure for the good of the economy and the people. We need to aggressively bid new projects to ensure the people’s money is spent frugally and wisely, but we do not want to delay and allow infrastructure to fall into great disrepair where costly replacement, rather than repair, may be necessary."
Michigan School Board of Education guidance on bathroom selection based on chosen gender
- Excerpt: "You are who you were born as. This cannot be changed. Children will be happier and grow to be more well-adjusted adults if they are encouraged to accept and embraced [sic] unchangeable reality."
