Campaign themes

2014

Lundy's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[2]

Cutting salaries for state legislators

  • Excerpt: "First and foremost, we must end the culture of entitled politicians in Lansing. I fully support a part-time legislature."

Making “Made In Michigan” an international demand

  • Excerpt: "Governor Snyder recently spoke of highlighting our great manufacturing and agricultural industries. I believe we need to promote these products in markets around the world, especially in Asia, where “Made in America” is considered a luxury that people are willing to pay for it."

Cutting Red Tape for Entrepreneurs

  • Excerpt: "America became the country it is because it allowed people with ideas to flourish. We no longer do this. I want to limit regulations and licensing on small businesses."

Education Reform

  • Excerpt: "I believe that all school subjects have a practical purpose, from math and literature, to physical education and the arts. The best people to bring these ideas to fruition are teachers themselves. I favor giving teachers more freedom in the classroom to do what they were trained to do."

Dirty Jobs Education

  • Excerpt: "My generation no longer values manual labor, we see it as beneath us. This must change. If elected I plan to push schools and community colleges, to offer more training in fields like plumbing, construction, mechanics and agriculture."
