Campaign themes
2016
Camphous-Peterson's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
| “ | Making College Affordable
Getting an education beyond high school is essential to our children. Whether our kids want to pursue a career in the skilled trades or a four-year degree, Michigan has many great colleges, universities and apprenticeship programs to prepare them for the future. However, being able to pay for an education is an enormous challenge to families, and many kids are being priced out of a promising future. Dana Camphous-Peterson and her husband, Bill, have raised four children, so they understand firsthand what it means to help your kids get an education and get started in life. Holding Government Accountable You work hard for your money, so you deserve to know that your tax dollars are being spent wisely and not being squandered on wealthy corporations and billionaire CEOs. Unfortunately, Michigan was ranked last in the nation in terms of government transparency and accountability last year. Dana will work hard to enact government reforms that will make our state’s government more transparent, and ensure that government officials are held accountable to the people who put them in office. An Economy That Works For Everyone The people of Macomb County have always been hardworking. They’re working harder than ever now, trying to save money for retirement while supporting their family and trying to help their kids afford a college education. Too many families still find themselves living paycheck to paycheck, because they’re paying more in taxes and for services they need, and they’ve been shut out of an economy that doesn’t work for everyone. In Lansing, Dana will always be on the side of Michigan families, so that they get earn a living wage and have the opportunities they need to do more than just make ends meet.[2] |
