On Families & Children:
Adoption rate in Michigan is up 25 percentage points
We've done an outstanding investment in preschool education in the state of Michigan to make it so every Michigan child will have the opportunity to have a preschool education. And we're leading the nation in the investment in our young.
The adoption rate in the state of Michigan is up 25 percentage points, and we're now supporting young foster kids in higher education. We've gone from being the bottom to being a leader, and we should be proud of helping those in need.

On Homeland Security:
24/7/365 service to our veterans for benefits
Before we took office, we were ranked 53rd in how we helped our veterans in certain categories. Over the last four years, we've seen an over 20% increase in the average benefits veterans are getting in the state of Michigan, and we are now leading
the country with services such as 1-800-MICHVETS, a cutting-edge way we can give 24-7, 365-day service to our veterans. You deserve that, and we're going to keep up supporting our veterans."

On Local Issues:
Detroit has a bright future, but more work to be done
Look at the city of Detroit. We have a city that now has less debt, we have a city that's safer, and we have a city that's got better services. Detroit has a bright future, and I'm committed to supporting the city and achieving that goal.We've
created over 300,000 private sector jobs in the state of Michigan. In Dec. 2010, our unemployment rate was 11.3%. Recently, our unemployment rate is 6.7%. We have more work to be done, but Michiganders are working again, and in good, well-paying jobs.
