Elayne Petrucci was a 2016 Democratic candidate for District 23 of the Michigan House of Representatives.

Campaign themes

2016

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

Water

  • Excerpt: "As a member of the Sierra Club who has initiatives to move to clean energy, ban fracking and reduce toxins among many other globally responsible issues, I pledge that I will work with environmental groups to make our communities healthier and safer."

Make taxes work for seniors and the working class

  • Excerpt: "Stand with me and demand that the unjust Pension Tax be revoked. Our retirees expected to receive a certain amount for their many years of hard work, and in most cases, it is not much, it is unfair to change the rules and tax hard-earned pensions."

Money in politics

  • Excerpt: "I vow to never accept Super PAC money and to only be beholden to the people in my district and never a corporation."

Transparency

  • Excerpt: "Michigan gets F grade in 2015 for State Integrity Investigation according to "The Center for Public Integrity," winner of the 2014 pulitzer [sic] Prize. Overall, we ranked 50th, of 50. We came in dead last in our Executive, Legislative and Judicial Accountability, and last for our State Pension Fund Management and 42nd for our Public Access to Information categories. It goes without saying that this is reprehensible. Where is our money from the lottery for our schools? Where did the 48.5 million dollars for DPS go? We need answers and accountability!"

Small business incentives

  • Excerpt: "We need to offer microloan programs that offer low interest loans to people who want to start small businesses in our communities. Furthermore, we need to give tax breaks to those businesses with gross revenues of less than $2 million."
