Marcia Squier in 2020 MI Senatorial race

On Civil Rights: Racism is a threat to domestic security

A: Racism is a threat to domestic security because the effects of it can include widespread unrest and violence. Things escalate unnecessarily when racism is involved.

On Corporations: I favor people over corporations and CEO billionaires

A: Somewhat Liberal. I am a leftist in that I favor people over corporations and workers' rights over CEO billionaires. I am antiestablishment because the establishment is a cesspool of corruption, and we need to evolve as a society away from materialism and violence.

On Gun Control: Violent criminals should not be allowed gun ownership

A: Violent criminals should not be allowed gun ownership. Annual training and certification for each level of weaponry, similar to military protocol.

On Principles & Values: Separating church & state is only disestablishmentarianism

A: Disestablishmentarianism. To me it means, not basing legislation on religious scripts, and politicians, judges, etc. leaving their own religious mandates at the door when performing public duties.

On Social Security: Protect against any legislation dismantles future benefits

A: As Senator, I would vote for all legislation that protects it and against any legislation that seeks to dismantle it.

On War & Peace: Stop bombing countries that never attacked us

A: Stop bombing countries that never attacked us.

On Drugs: Legalize pot, give addicts treatment, end war on drugs

On Energy & Oil: Enbridge-Line-5 pipeline should be permanently closed

A: I believe Line 5 needs to be permanently shut down. No tunnel encasing it, and no replacement pipeline. Our Great Lakes are unique and valuable in this world- priceless. No oil company profits will convince me otherwise. It's ours to protect.

On Environment: Invest in ways to prevent erosion and rising waters

A: I would work to hold those responsible accountable for their destructive actions, and work to ensure resources and funds are available to those affected.

Q: What about other water issues?

A: We need to invest in erosion fighting measures, and work to mitigate the cause of the rising water.

On Environment: All animals should be treated humanely

A: I support the ethical, humane treatment of all animals, whether they be pets, livestock, game or otherwise. Animal welfare is very important to the food production process.

On Jobs: Grow jobs in health, renewable energy, and infrastructure
