Expand all | Collapse all

As a 15 year member of Novi City Council, including the past 11 as Mayor Pro Tem, a successful 30 year management career in multiple sectors of business, a small business owner, married for 37 years and raised daughters in the public school system, one a HS teacher and one a paramedic, I bring something sorely lacking in Lansing; real life experience, with family and community focus. In these very difficult times, I believe that my business and government experience is necessary for a long term successful outcome for the State of Michigan. I will support policies and legislation that lowers business and income taxes and fees. encourages smaller government and less regulation, has economic development relationships with international businesses and provides a welcoming and diverse communit.
  • Dave Staudt will bring fiscal responsibility to our state. On city council, he led Novi to nearly two decades of financial surpluses while strengthening the region’s infrastructure. He’ll bring that same experience, common sense and financial know-how to lead our state.
  • While politicians in Washington and Lansing call for devastating cuts to police and fire, Dave Staudt will support our police. He believes in strong public safety. Dave will encourage community policing and will “back the blue” to ensure we have emergency service workers – like his very own daughter – to protect the community during moments of crisis.
  • Women sports encourages competition, skill and lifelong bonds of friendship. As a father of two daughters, Dave Staudt will support programs that encourage development of strong women who are at the very core of every successful community.
For decades, we were told that everyone needed to go to college for a good-paying career. So, they eliminated shop classes from our public schools. It turns out that nearly two-thirds of adults in our state still don’t have a college degree. We invested all our public resources on one career path and hurt an entire generation of Michigan residents in the process. I know how important it is to have electricians, auto mechanics and hairdressers. In my day job, I help lead one of Michigan’s largest trade schools – the Southeast Michigan Construction Academy. I created a scholarship program to allow those who couldn’t afford to attend to get training anyway. I know what it takes to give young people the skills to succeed, and he’ll work to bring career readiness programs like shop classes back to our high schools.
