REAL PEOPLE.
REAL PROGRESS.
ELECT MICHAEL WHITE
-
Everywhere I go, I hear the same thing: people are working hard, but the bills keep getting higher.
-
Groceries cost more. Childcare costs more. Utilities cost more. Meanwhile, many paychecks haven’t kept up.
-
We need an economy where working families can breathe again. That means supporting small businesses, strengthening good-paying jobs, and making sure Michigan’s economy works for the people who power it every day.
-
Because working hard should lead to getting ahead, not falling further behind.
Lower the Cost of Living
Expand economic opportunity and support working families.

-
Where someone lives should never determine how far they can go in life.
-
Families want strong schools. Workers want training that leads to good careers. Seniors want healthcare they can rely on.
-
By investing in education, workforce development, and accessible healthcare, we can make sure every resident has a real opportunity to succeed.
-
Because when people succeed, our entire region moves forward.
Make Housing Affordable
Ensure safe, stable housing for renters, seniors, and young families.

THE ISSUES
-
Housing should be the foundation of stability, not a constant source of stress.
-
Young families are struggling to buy their first home. Renters are seeing prices rise faster than their income. Seniors who built our communitiesare worried about being priced out of their neighborhoods.
-
We need practical housing solutions that expand affordability, support responsible development, and protect the stability of our communities.
-
Because everyone deserves a safe place to come home to.
Expand Access to Opportunity
Invest in education, workforce training, and healthcare for every community.
