Steven Kwasny was a 2016 Democratic candidate for District 53 of the Michigan House of Representatives.

Campaign themes

2016

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

Reduce money in politics through grassroots campaigning

  • Excerpt: "People deserve priority over fundraising when concerning elected representatives. Countless hard-working citizens find their voices drowned out by money in today’s political process. When the State of Michigan doubled the amount of the maximum contribution allowed in campaigning it was done in one foul swoop during the winter holidays of 2013. I stood firmly among the many who were devastated by such actions asking, is this necessary?"

Environment

  • Excerpt: "I support increasing effective "asset management" (water infrastructure insider industry term.) I have been involved in multiple talks with people who can aid in building the necessary coalition needed to help repair and maintain our water infrastructure."

Education

  • Excerpt: "We desperately need to equip and maintain our schools in order to ensure they are fit to be the solid foundation for education they should be. Students must be ready for competing in the “global economy.” We don’t want them starting off at a disadvantage and right now they are missing out on those opportunities due to short-term focused legislature. The bar is not set high enough for updating facilities. Some schools hardly have a roof over their head let alone updated computer software or books. We in the House must create solutions not problems."

Automatic voter registration

  • Excerpt: "This bureaucratic cost saving technique falls perfectly within our values. If we can save State resources, we should be exploring this and other effective solutions. The concept is simple, if you're a Michigan resident of voting age, you can vote."
