Julie Alexander did not complete Ballotpedia's 2020 Candidate Connection survey.
2016
Alexander's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[4]
| “ | Create economic opportunity
Let's pursue common sense solutions that make our state a magnet for jobs so people can live, work and raise a family right here in Jackson County. To secure the future, our next generation needs training and skills for tomorrow's new jobs. Defend freedom Too many politicians want to dismantle the Constitution and erode our rights. Freedom is worth fighting for and as your state representative, Julie will continue fighting to defend our freedom and private property rights. Prioritize spending Michigan's budget has grown by over $5 billion over the last few years. We must end wasteful spending and balance the budget responsibly. This economy has forced hard-working families and seniors to live within their means, and it's about time the politicians to do the same with our tax dollars. Local control of education A bright future with a good job begins with a great education. The federal government shouldn't be dictating standards for our neighborhood schools; parents know what's best for their children and we need to demand that more decisions are made at the local level. As education spending increases, we must ensure more dollars wind up in the classrooms so teachers and students have necessary resources.[5] |

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
