Campaign themes

2016

Reed's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]

“

EDUCATION
As President of the School Board for the last 2 years, and a member for 6 years, I have faced both popular and unpopular issues with the same priorities: the well being, education and safety of our children being paramount. Our schools need MORE teaching in our classrooms and less testing. Our kids must have basic needs met. The funding gap serves wealthier communities - children who need less help. Prop A NEEDS to be enforced to benefit our district. For 30 years there has been no enforcement of this issue. We need more training in emergency care and police reporting systems to protect our children from substance abuse, bullying, violence and predators.

HOUSING
As a social worker, for 20 years I have advocated for the most hurting and 'endangered' persons in Wayne County. I know the needs of the people. Our seniors need a cost of living increase and higher wages that make housing affordable. Property values fall without a corresponding decrease in taxes, while homeowners still receive an increase in property taxes based on inflation. Healthcare disparity, lags in VA assistance, the emptying of nursing homes, increased immigration and early release prison mandates may soon fill our streets with people seeking jobs and affordable housing. Adequately addressing these issues will require more than just 'awareness' campaigns. We need leadership with the experience, knowhow and work ethic to get things done.

HEALTHCARE
While Michigan’s individual health insurance market is one of the most robust in the country, the ongoing water quality crisis in Flint, continues to reveal disparities that would have not happened in one of Detroit’s wealthier suburbs. The crisis underscores the great health risks facing poorer communities with an aging infrastructure and little means to upgrade it. These circumstances have devastating health impacts. State representatives that ignore the poor, need to be replaced. Until then, we face the consequences.

ENVIRONMENT
Our state needs an intelligent response to the changing issues we all face. Besides the Flint water crisis, last year a toxic algae bloom on Lake Erie temporarily disrupted the water supply for more than 400,000 people in Southeast Michigan. Natural gas prices may continue to triple. Carbon and mercury pollution of many old, coal-fired power plants continue to threaten our health. The environmental impact of do-nothing, career politicians proves it is time for a change.[2]
