Creating jobs

Dennis Lennox understands politicians don't create jobs. He's focused on rebuilding Michigan to make her economically competitive and welcoming to innovation and job creation. Years of poor leadership, from Republicans and Democrats, has resulted in high taxes, job-killing regulations and too many levels of bureaucratic red tape — stifling innovation and discouraging entrepreneurs from creating jobs on main streets across the state.

Cutting taxes

Increasing taxes is never the solution. Dennis Lennox has taken Grover Norquist's Americans for Tax Reform pledge not to increase taxes. He's the only candidate that has never supported a tax increase, and he's the only candidate pledging to never support a tax increase in the future. On his first day in the House, Lennox will repeal both the Michigan Business Tax and Governor Granholm's $1.4 billion tax increase on working families.

Reforming government

Lansing isn't working. Government, at all levels, must become efficient and responsive to the needs of the taxpayers who fund it. The system of government with its archaic and often overlapping structure must be reformed, consolidated and streamlined. Whether it's consolidation or ensuring the system and structure are flexible to accommodate local communities, real reform must occur to bring government into the twenty-first century.

Defending values

Northern Michigan's pro-life, pro-family and pro-Second Amendment values will be defended, advocated and supported with Dennis Lennox in the House. He is committed to making Michigan the most pro-family state in the union, which is why he's been endorsed by the Pro-Life Federation of Michigan and Jay Sekulow of the American Center for Law and Justice. He has also received the National Rifle Association's highest rating for a non-incumbent candidate.

Improving education

The next generation won't succeed when schools are crumbling and college tuition is doubling every year. Schools should receive equitable, per student funding instead of the current unfair funding formulas that punish children in Northern Michigan. And education is best when the local community — parents, teachers, principals — runs the schools instead of bureaucrats in Lansing and Washington.
