ON THE ISSUES

Promoting West Michigan Values

West Michigan is home to some of the nation’s most pristine coastlines, abundant farmlands, and successful businesses, making it one of the most desirable places to live in America. This prosperity is made possible by the region’s deep-rooted conservative values that prioritize hard work, family, and opportunity.

 

In Lansing, Michael Markey will be a voice for the conservative values that make West Michigan the best place to live, work, start a business, and raise a family. Michael will protect the rights of every hardworking Michigander and be a voice for conservative policies that put Michigan first.

Creating Michigan DOGE

A financial advisor and small business owner, Michael Markey helps hardworking West Michigan families cut waste and safeguard their investments. In the State Senate, Michael will bring this same level of precision and professionalism to highlight and eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse in Lansing.

 

For years, Democrats in the General Assembly have raised taxes and expanded the bureaucracy for their own benefit. Michael will work with legislators to limit the size and scope of the state government, creating a leaner, more efficient government that allows Michiganders to keep more of their hard-earned money.

Standing Up For Michigan Parents

Michigan continues to rank among the worst states for literacy and education outcomes. In Lansing, Michael will work with legislators to ensure that students in underfunded and underperforming schools are not left behind. He will fight to streamline the education process, put parents back in control of their children’s education, and ensure that students are being taught the essentials: reading, writing, and arithmetic. He will also collaborate with key stakeholders and employers across Michigan to enhance CTE education and ensure that students who want to work for one of Michigan’s manufacturing companies are equipped with the tools and resources to succeed.

 

The proud father of three children, Michael understands the important role education plays in ensuring Michigan children are prepared for the future. In Lansing, Michael will work with legislators to ensure parents continue to play a critical role in their children’s education.

Protecting Michigan Taxpayers

Michigan was once the world leader in manufacturing and innovation. But crippling tax codes and government regulation have killed thousands of blue-collar jobs, forcing entrepreneurs and businesses to take their companies out of state.

 

As a small business owner, Michael understands the unique challenges facing Main Street and hardworking Michigan families. From overregulation to rising property and income taxes, Lansing continues to make life harder for middle-class families and entrepreneurs. In Lansing, Michael will fight to reduce the tax burden and regulatory hurdles that are crippling Michigan families and businesses. Michigan was once the world leader in manufacturing, and Michael will fight to restore Michigan to the top.

Backing The Blue

Every day, thousands of brave men and women put their lives on the line to keep our communities safe. In Lansing, Michael Markey will fight to ensure law enforcement and first responders have the tools, training, support, and resources necessary to protect Michigan families.

 

With violent crime continuing to rise in communities across the state, Michael will work with key stakeholders and law enforcement leaders to combat these increasing threats and make Michigan a safe place to live, work, start a business, and raise a family.
