Our key policy areas
Shaun is deeply committed to tackling critical issues facing Kalamazoo and Michigan. Our policies are rooted in protecting the vulnerable and empowering individuals to thrive. Here are the main areas of focus:
Ending domestic violence
Domestic violence is on the rise, and Shaun believes we must implement stronger measures to protect victims and hold perpetrators accountable.
Protecting children from abuse
The laws surrounding child sexual abuse are not strong enough. Shaun is dedicated to strengthening penalties and safeguarding our children.

Principles guiding our policies
Shaun's approach is firmly rooted in core beliefs and principles. Every policy initiative is designed with the paramount goal of helping victims and creating a safer environment for every resident of Kalamazoo and Michigan.
Action on domestic violence
Shaun proposes a novel approach to domestic violence, inspired by the sex offender registry. Individuals convicted of domestic abuse would be placed on a registry, requiring mandatory therapy for five years. A panel of mental health professionals would then assess their eligibility for removal, taking the burden of repeated confrontation away from victims and placing accountability firmly with the state.
Stricter penalties for child sexual abuse
Shaun advocates for significantly stricter penalties for child sexual assault. For repeat offenders, major enhancements to charges would be applied. A third offense would result in a life sentence, ensuring that those who harm children face severe and appropriate consequences for their actions. This policy is designed to send a clear message: the safety of our children is paramount.
