Good Jobs &
A Strong Economy

Michigan should be a place where hard work pays — where workers are treated fairly, infrastructure is modern, and economic growth benefits everyone.

Michigan Workers Are
Being Left Behind

Too many Michigan workers are working harder than ever while falling behind.

Wages have not kept up with rising costs, infrastructure is aging, and corporate consolidation is weakening competition and job quality.

Meanwhile, public investment in roads, transit, and critical infrastructure has lagged behind the needs of a modern economy.

Michigan needs an economy that rewards work, supports strong communities, and invests in the future.

What’s Holding Michigan Back

Corporate Consolidation

When a few corporations dominate an industry, workers lose bargaining power and wages stagnate.

Outsourcing
& Job Offshoring

Companies shipping jobs overseas hollow out local communities and weaken Michigan’s economy.

Aging Infrastructure

Decades of underinvestment have left Michigan roads, bridges, and transit systems outdated and unreliable.

Anti-Worker Policies

Policies that weaken unions and worker protections make it harder for working families to get ahead.

How We Build a

Modernize Michigan’s roads, bridges, transit systems, and public infrastructure.

Behind them are three diverse workers, including a man in a hard hat, a woman with curly hair, and another woman with a tablet. The badge is decorated with golden stars, scales of justice, a gavel, a megaphone, coins, and legal documents, symbolizing justice, negotiation, and workers' rights.

Protect
Worker Rights

Protect collective bargaining, worker safety, and fair wages.

Support Local Businesses

Strengthen small businesses and local entrepreneurship instead of corporate monopolies.

Why This Matters for
Michigan Families

A strong economy should reward hard work and create opportunities for every Michigan resident.

When workers are paid fairly, infrastructure is modernized, and small businesses can compete on a level playing field, communities across the state become stronger.

Investing in good jobs and a fair economy ensures Michigan’s prosperity is shared by the people who build it.

A Strong Economy Starts
With Working People

Michigan’s prosperity depends on the people who build, teach, care, create, and run our local businesses every day.

By investing in infrastructure, supporting good-paying jobs, protecting worker rights, and strengthening local businesses, we can build an economy that rewards work and creates opportunity in every community.

The policies below outline how we make that vision real.

Rebuilding
Michigan’s Infrastructure

Michigan’s economic growth depends on modern infrastructure that supports workers, businesses, and communities.

This plan would launch a statewide infrastructure initiative focused on rebuilding critical systems while creating thousands of good-paying jobs.

Key priorities include:

Modern Roads and Bridges

Invest in repairing roads and bridges across Michigan to improve safety, reduce transportation costs for businesses, and support construction jobs in every region of the state.

Water Infrastructure and Clean Drinking Water

Upgrade aging water systems and lead pipe infrastructure to protect public health while creating skilled construction and engineering jobs.

Modern Energy Grid

Invest in grid modernization and transmission infrastructure to support renewable energy growth and ensure reliable power for homes, manufacturing, and data centers.


Public Transit and Freight Infrastructure

Expand public transit options and improve freight corridors to strengthen Michigan’s logistics network and support economic development.

These investments would strengthen Michigan’s economy by creating jobs today while building the infrastructure needed for long-term growth.

A Stronger Economy Starts With
Michigan Workers

Michigan’s economy grows when workers succeed, small businesses thrive, and our infrastructure supports opportunity in every community.

By investing in people, rebuilding critical infrastructure, and protecting worker rights, we can build a durable economy that rewards hard work and creates prosperity across the state.

Michigan built America’s industrial strength — and together we can build the next generation of opportunity.

Investing in Michigan’s Infrastructure

Michigan’s economic future depends on modern infrastructure — from roads and bridges to water systems, energy grids, and broadband networks.

Strategic public investment will strengthen communities, create jobs, and support long-term economic growth.
