Campaign themes

2016

Osmer's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

“

Right to life:

  • As a Roman Catholic, I firmly believe that life, beginning at conception and ending at natural death, is sacrosanct and must be protected at all costs. This especially holds true for the countless unborn who don’t have a voice in our legislature.

Agriculture:

  • One of the current issues affecting the Ag Community in Northeast Michigan is the threat of bovine tuberculosis. In 2014, the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development responded by establishing Modified Accredited Zones (MAZ). Out of the 83 counties in Michigan, 4 were designated as MAZs – 2 of which are located in the 106th House District: Alpena and Alcona Counties. While this issue remains complicated and continues to evolve, one thing is clear: Agriculture is one of Northeast Michigan’s oldest and vital industries and must be protected.
  • In this extremely diverse field, there are many issues that will continue to surface such as aquaculture and foreign trade. I look forward to hearing about these issues and many more over the next several months, as I travel the district hearing from you.

The Great Lakes:

  • It is important we ensure that invasive species are stopped before they can do irreparable harm to our fisheries, agriculture, and tourism.

Veterans:

  • What many people don’t know is that Alpena is the only county in the 106th District with a full-time veterans service office. These offices are funded by grants through the Michigan Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, which go toward hiring new staff, increasing office hours, or simply maintaining the limited services they currently offer. For veterans living outside of Alpena, they are forced to wait until the office opens or hop in their cars and make the long drive to Alpena to speak with an accredited service officer. We owe our veterans better than this, and together we can make it happen.

The Second Amendment:

  • As a life member of the NRA, I understand that owning a gun is not just about hunting. In fact, the word hunting doesn’t appear anywhere in the constitution. Our right to bear arms is about protecting ourselves from an overreaching government that endangers its people. The constitution outlines many checks and balances on government power, but We the People are the final check against an out-of-control government, and to do that we must have the right to bear arms.
  • Our Bill of Rights is an acknowledgement of this right, but it does not grant it to us. The right to defense is a natural one and cannot be taken away without due process. We must be vigilant in defending it, and, if elected, I promise to fight against any and all encroachments against the 2nd Amendment.[2]
 ”
—Jesse Osmer, [3]
