Jean has been married for 35 years and has two children. Jean graduated from Central Michigan University. Jean and her husband have lived in Shelby Township since 2000. Jean & Dan Zott are very active in a number of charitable organizations in their community.
In 2022, Jean started speaking at township board meetings in regard to election integrity and unnecessary ordinances. People started to encourage her to run for office.
Jean researched different offices and learned the Michigan House and Senate lack any CPAs. This is a void Jean wishes to fill. Jean wants to bring her extensive tax, budgeting and regulatory knowledge to Lansing.- I want to fight for the Michigan Taxpayer
- The Michigan budget is filled with wasteful spending, duplicate departments and antiquated programs. Saving the taxpayer dollars in necessary to properly fund Michigander's priorities.
- Our current tax policy is especially inequitable to retirees. It favors government pensions over the UAW worker, nurses, grocery store clerk and small business owners.
Property taxes are going to tax people right out of their homes. Our current administrations corporate welfare has been a huge failure.
We can do better.
Budgeting
Honesty
Availability
If I am successful, I am representing my district. I am a republican, but I can't ignore the views of the other party/parities in my district.
Appropriations
The legislature recently presented the budget bill in the middle of the night for a vote.
The taxpayers and the entire legislature did not have time to read it. I don't believe the Democrats had time to read prior to voting on it.
Don't they want input for their own constituents.? Everyone says they hate pork spending, but the budget is again filled with it.
