- Build Things In Michigan
Donald Trump’s erratic actions and reckless tariffs are hurting the auto industry and putting a tariff tax on Michigan families. With over 30 years of experience in the auto industry, Don knows that Trump’s actions are going to cost Michigan thousands of jobs in the manufacturing and automotive supply chain.
Don and his teams redesigned and relaunched the Ford Mustang and the legendary F-150, leading to the opening of a new Michigan auto plant that is still in operation today, providing thousands of good-paying jobs. After Ford, Don fought to secure $50 million to train workers here in Michigan.
In Congress, he will put that experience to work to create jobs and grow American manufacturing right here in Michigan. - Protect Our Healthcare Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress are putting Americans’ health at risk by cutting Medicaid, threatening to increase costs for plans under the Affordable Care Act, and making public health decisions that break with recommendations by the nation’s leading doctors and scientists. In Congress, Don will restore Medicaid funding for families, hospitals, and nursing homes. He’ll work to increase health insurance access through the Affordable Care Act, lower prescription drug prices, and fight against the Trump administration’s attack on science so that Michiganders have access to vaccines and other tools available to keep them healthy and safe.
- Lower Costs Growing up, Don and his family didn’t have much, but they knew that with hard work and a little help from their community, they could make ends meet. Today, costs are rising on everything from housing, to healthcare, to groceries. Michigan families are struggling to just get by, and Donald Trump and politicians in Washington are making it even harder by giving tax breaks to the ultra-wealthy at the expense of working families. As an engineer, Don was tasked with solving complex problems in building the next generation of automobiles. In Congress, he’ll use those skills to lower costs of everyday items like groceries, lower the cost of housing, and cut taxes for working families, so that we can build a stronger middle class.
