Michigan doesn't need more political noise. It needs results. Reliable broadband is no longer a luxury. It affects whether a student can finish homework, whether a patient can attend a telehealth appointment, whether a small business can compete, and whether communities across Michigan can attract new jobs and investment. As an Independent, I'm not interested in whether an idea comes from the left or the right. I'm interested in whether it works. I want Michigan to build reliable high-speed connectivity in Detroit, our suburbs, small towns, and rural communities while demanding accountability for every public dollar invested. We should measure success by homes connected, businesses served, improved speeds, affordability, and projects actually completed—not promises made. Detroit can help lead Michigan's next chapter, but our success cannot stop at the city limits. Every Michigan community deserves the infrastructure necessary to compete, grow, and succeed. **RISE Michigan: Restore Innovation, Security, and Economy.**
