Shaun's commitment to Kalamazoo and Michigan
Discover my core beliefs and the actionable plans I'm developing to improve our community. My focus is on creating a better future for every resident of Kalamazoo and Michigan.
Key issues and solutions
My platform addresses the most pressing challenges facing our families and economy. Learn about my commitment to practical solutions that will bring real change.
Food stamp requirements
I advocate for an exemption in food stamp requirements for single mothers with more than one child, ensuring families can feed their children without feeling trapped by childcare costs.
Lowering taxes
Having experienced several tax hikes without improvement, I propose stopping state taxes and lowering property taxes to alleviate financial burdens on families and businesses.
Stopping data centers
I aim to prevent data centers from establishing here, as they significantly raise energy costs, consume vast resources, and can lead to health concerns for our communities.
Why these issues matter to us all
My personal experiences of living paycheck to paycheck and facing difficult choices between bills, food, and essential medications drive my commitment. I understand the struggles many families face, and I am dedicated to representing those who know what it's like to live without a safety net.
Combating fraud for budget relief
I will conduct thorough audits to identify and halt payments linked to fraud. The funds recovered will be reinvested into our budget to offset tax cuts, ensuring responsible fiscal management and accountability.
Empowering single mothers
I will champion legislation to create an exemption for single mothers with more than one child from food stamp work requirements. This will allow them to prioritize raising their families without the impossible choice between childcare costs and feeding their children.
