Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Restore law and order by supporting law enforcement, cracking down on violent crime, and reversing soft-on-crime policies that endanger Michigan communities.
• Protect constitutional freedoms by defending the Second Amendment, safeguarding religious liberty, and opposing government overreach and political prosecutions.
• Rebuild trust in government by investigating voter fraud, exposing corruption, and ensuring accountability and transparency in Lansing.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Kijewski is passionate about restoring public safety, protecting constitutional rights, and safeguarding election integrity. He believes in prosecuting crime, defending the Second Amendment, pushing back on government overreach, and eliminating corruption and politically motivated lawfare.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

The attorney general’s core responsibilities are to enforce the law impartially, defend the constitutional rights of all citizens, and serve as a check on government overreach. As Michigan’s top law enforcement officer, the AG must support police, prosecute crime, and uphold public trust by exposing corruption and lawfare. The role is not about pushing a political agenda—it’s about protecting the rule of law, ensuring fair elections, and standing up for everyday Michiganders when government goes too far.

What is your favorite book? Why?

*The Wealth of Nations* by Adam Smith. It defends free markets, limited government, and individual liberty—core principles that should guide public policy and legal interpretation.
