Expand all | Collapse all

I am a Father, I am a Husband and I am a Small-Business Owner. I grew up in North Carolina by way of Tennessee. I met my wife Susan, a Michigander from Lake Orion, while she was finishing graduate school in Knoxville, TN. We met, married and when we found out we were having twin boys we decided to move to Michigan to be closer to her family who have been a tremendous support. I am an active community member who decided to run for Congress to ensure we have choices at the ballot, especially against the extreme options currently in office that threaten democracy and look to take away rights and freedoms.
  • We need to focus on ensuring we have Healthy Families as our neighbors. This includes insuring health care access for all, paid family leave, reasonable gun safety measures, and reproductive freedoms for all.
  • We need to make sure we have Economic Opportunities for everyone as well. We need to continue to invest in our infrastructure, especially in our rural and low income areas. We need to invest in renewable energy. We need to make sure we focus on restoring and reshoring manufacturing jobs. Most importantly we need to expand protections for workers to form and join unions and we need to hold accountable those who illegally obstruct these worker's rights.
  • We need to Protect Our Bright Futures. This includes protecting Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. We need to make sure we have reasonable and common sense protections for our environment and combat climate change with the sense of urgency needed. Doing this will continue to create good-paying jobs right here, right now.
I am very passionate about Wellness, Economic Opportunity, Kids, Environment, Equality and Reproductive Rights. These are areas that I believe government can be the hand that helps guide us into a prosperous and fair future.
Honesty, integrity, compassion, compromise and respect.
I believe representation is a core responsibility for this office. Representing all of your constituents, listening to them, helping them find resources and answers and even at times helping them find truth. At the same time staying true to your core values and beliefs that you were elected upon. You have to fight for your district while also looking at the broader picture and what is best for America's interests.
At the end of my life the most important thing to me will be that I was a great father, a good husband and someone who gave more than they received.
The Challenger disaster is probably my first memory of a historical event. I had just turned six years-old and remember it being on tv when I got home that day.
My father was a truck driver delivering furniture. When I was 14 I worked in the warehouse loading and unloading truckloads of furniture. Those same summers I would do drywall, sanding specifically. My father wanted me to see, feel and understand labor and the dignity of work. He challenged me to get a great education so I would have as many choices with regard to work, labor and careers.
The Sun Also Rises. I am a Hemingway fan and love getting lost in his travels and stories. The Sun Also Rises in a reminder that optimism and hope are great friends to have.
The saying on many job applications states "Experience preferred but not required". It can be beneficial to have direct experience but life experience is as important. The ability to listen, to communicate, to problem solve, etc. can be even better experiences that direct political or government experience.
A fragile democracy with too much perceived division and extremism. I use the word perceived as I do think for-profit news media and social media have exaggerated the issue. When I am knocking on doors and out meeting voters they are kind, civil and respectful a super majority of the time. When you look to news and social media that ratio is grossly exaggerated and distorted.
I support term limits, I believe these are important in order to ensure true representation, limit power, reduce corruption and continue to bring fresh ideas and perspectives. Michigan just introduced a 12 year limit on their House and Senate and this could be an example for a potential federal model.
I absolutely believe compromise is necessary and desirable but compromise is a genuine give and take. It takes at least two to compromise and if there are those two plus parties willing and able then yes it is possible.

Campaign website

Mosley’s campaign website stated the following:

Policy Priorities

Protecting Families:

We must provide a safe place for children to grow and thrive. You deserve reasonable gun safety measures to protect your family and health care that prioritizes the freedom of everyone.

Protecting Communities:

Hard work is one of the strongest American values. You deserve real economic opportunities for our region and someone who will protect your social security and everything you’ve worked so hard to achieve.

Protecting Our Country:

We can solve big problems together. Our country needs increased border security that protects the innocent children who arrive here as DREAMers.

Protecting Our Future:

We can find workable solutions for climate change that create good-paying jobs right here, right now.[2]
