Lansing, MI — Ahead of tonight’s Michigan Democrat Senate debate, Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) Senior Advisor for Michigan Tim Golding released the following statement:
“Tonight’s debate will offer Michigan voters a clear window into how Democrats think about the problems facing this state: more Washington, more government control, and more of the same policies that drove up costs in the first place. Haley Stevens and Abdul El-Sayed may disagree on tactics, but they share the same fundamental belief — that the answer to Washington’s failures is more Washington.
“Michigan families know better: the cost of living didn’t spike because government wasn’t involved enough in their lives. It spiked because of runaway spending, burdensome regulations, and energy policies that made everything more expensive.
“Mike Rogers is running on a different vision for Michigan, one built on lower taxes, less spending, unleashing American energy, and cutting regulations that strangle small businesses. That’s how you put money back in people’s pockets and create the kind of economic opportunity this state has been waiting for.”
“Tonight, voters will watch two candidates argue over how much bigger to make government. Rogers is focused on getting Washington out of the way and letting Michigan thrive.”
