Campaign themes

2016

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

Increase access to childcare assistance for parents who are pursuing a college degree.
  1. Broman’s proposal provides parents childcare assistance at the 85th percentile for three years if: the parent is pursuing a select degree at a community college, a trade, or a graduate degree, and working not less than 20 hours per week and not more than 40 hours per week. An additional two years would be available for parents if needed at half of full assistance.
  2. The cost is approximately $44,000 per child
  3. The reasoning is that a parent who has an unplanned pregnancy, even when married, may find cost of childcare prevents the parent from pursuing education opportunities that would be a vehicle for economic mobility.

Establish an Education Technology Infrastructure Standard for school districts across the state of Michigan.

  1. Broman’s proposal establishes a standard for education technology infrastructure for all districts statewide. Leveraging economies of scale, the state can provide districts with a forecast of infrastructure advancements. The proposal focuses on infrastructure to allow individual districts to retain local control over what devices are in the classroom.
  2. The reasoning is that too often schools are using debt to finance both devices AND infrastructure. Devices and apps change far too often to plan for, while infrastructure is used for 5-10 years without major upgrade making it easier to plan for.

Establish a standard for university response to sexual assault on college campuses based on the Campus Accountability and Safety Act of 2015 as introduced in the US Senate.

  1. Parents should have confidence that the response to sexual assault on campus will be the same regardless of the university their child attends. Standardization through statute creates an enforcement mechanism to hold universities accountable and utilize experts to ensure the best policies are in place across Michigan.[2]
