Campaign themes

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

Educating our Kids

  • Excerpt: "Michigan must be putting out, year after year after year, the most educated, prepared, and most innovative young people. They must leave our elementary and high schools, community colleges, trade schools, and Universities with a strong understanding of exactly how the world works and how they can be successful in it."

Environment

  • Excerpt: "It must be a priority to maintain our Forest, Lakes, and farmland so that our children and grandchildren can continue to enjoy the bounty of our state for good."

Farming

  • Excerpt: "I consider farming to be the most important profession because our entire society functions on the basis that farmers provide our food; food being the most basic and necessary human need."

Made in Michigan

  • Excerpt: "We must make things again! Production of goods made right here in Michigan is very important to me. We have the resources infrastructure and work force to be the most productive state with the highest quality goods."

Michigan's Auto Industry

  • Excerpt: "e must take back every inch of ground lost to foreign auto companies in terms of available features, fuel efficiency, power and performance."
