Campaign themes
2016
Reid's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
Safeguard drinking water
| “ | It is shocking that anyone in America would be poisoned by city water, but the fact that it happened in Michigan, where we have access to the Great Lakes and 20% of the world’s fresh water supply is repulsive. It is not safe to dump sewage into our lakes, bury nuclear waste or run oil under them. I will do everything I can to make sure not one more Michigan resident is the victim of lead poising.[2] | ” |
Legalize marijuana
| “ |
Legal marijuana will create jobs and give Metro Detroit the economic boost it needs. Marijuana is a safer alternative than opiates to pain management. Our police are overworked and our jails are overcrowded with nonviolent drug offenders. The Nixon Era “Reefer Madness” propaganda is over. Let’s catch up with the times.[2] |
” |
Improve roads and education
| “ | Where does our tax money go if not to the schools and roads? Why does Warren have 5 school districts and continue to build libraries & parks while the roads in the Southern portion of the city are literally falling apart? And where is all the Michigan Lotto money going if not to the schools? I intend to find out.[2] | ” |
End corruption
| “ | Hold our elected officials responsible. Put people before profits. Dismantle disastrous trade agreements. End tax breaks for multi-million dollar corporations. Prosecute while collar criminals the same way drug offenders are prosecuted. Change the political process so it works for all of us, not just the wealthy.[2] | ” |
