Campaign themes
2016
Frank's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
Your pocketbook
- Excerpt: "I want to restore honor to work. Let’s sit down with business leaders and establish a fair minimum wage that helps workers and business. Let’s have a Pure Michigan campaign for small businesses so that we can revitalize our downtowns."
Education
- Excerpt: "Education is fundamental for a successful economy and society. The GOP majorities in Lansing have let our citizens down. Changes to the structure of K12 and higher education funding and administration have not produced results that we were promised. Our schools have not improved and testing outcomes have stagnated."
Veterans
- Excerpt: "We need to keep our promises to our veterans and restore quality services for them. Healthcare needs, homelessness, PTSD, and other debilitating conditions threaten their well-being."
Natural resources and protections
- Excerpt: "Let’s insure that Pure Michigan is in fact a state that has clean water and air. Our natural resources are under attack. We cannot walk back Michigan’s successful environmental protections over the last 45 years."
