Campaign themes

2016

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

Making College Affordable

  • Excerpt: "Getting an education beyond high school is essential to our children. Whether our kids want to pursue a career in the skilled trades or pursue a four-year degree, Michigan has many great colleges, universities and apprenticeship programs to prepare them for the future. However, being able to pay for an education is an enormous challenge to families, and many kids are being priced out of a promising future."

Supporting Small Business

  • Excerpt: "Northern Michigan needs more good jobs. Our young people have to leave the state just to start a career, and many people are still seeking good-paying jobs to replace ones they lost in the recession. Small businesses create most of the new jobs in our state, but Lansing politicians have prioritized wealthy corporations over local businesses. Erin will fight for small-business owners in Lansing so that they get the resources they need to thrive and create new jobs in our community."

Holding Government Accountable

  • Excerpt: "You work hard for your money, so you deserve to know that your tax dollars are being spent wisely and not being squandered on wealthy corporations and billionaire CEOs. Unfortunately, Michigan was ranked last in the nation in terms of government transparency and accountability last year. Erin will work hard to enact government reforms that will make our state’s government more transparent, and ensure that government officials are held accountable to the people who put them in office."

Better Schools for Our Kids

  • Excerpt: "As a teacher for more than 30 years, Erin Kieliszewski has always been a tireless advocate for Michigan’s children. Over the past five years, she’s seen how funding cuts from Lansing have resulted in closed school buildings and program cuts to our local schools. Erin will continue to fight for our kids in Lansing, where she’ll work to restore school funding and enact reforms that will improve our schools and give teachers the resources they need to prepare our kids for the future."[2]
