2020 MI Senatorial race: on Budget & Economy


Gary Peters: COVID: Get resources, support to help people get through

Q: Your COVID policy?

Peters: I worked to secure unemployment assistance in the CARES Act for Michigan workers who had been furloughed or unemployed as a result of this crisis. I'm continuing to fight to get additional relief for the many families still hurting even as parts of our economy reopen. I'll be pressing to ensure those who remain furloughed or unemployed because of this pandemic have the resources and support that they need to get through this.

John James: Liberal leftist socialist policies have failed in Michigan

On socialism: "You don't need to go to Venezuela to see where liberal leftist socialist policies have failed their people, you can just come to Michigan and see where we're failing our neighborhoods, where we're forgetting our farms, and where we need to make sure that we have situations that we don't have policies of envy and confiscation but we have policies that increase access and opportunity for all people," said James.
