“The people sent us here to fix the roads and improve our schools. I want to be a part of a Republican party that is focused on the issues that matter most to all people. We all drive the same roads, shop at the same stores, and visit the same restaurants – we should be focused on improving peoples’ lives, not driving people further apart.”

“The governor has been uninterested in fixing our roads for over six years, but she’s all about discussions and proposals but fails at implementation,” said Steele, who serves as chair of the budget committee responsible for the transportation budget. “She’s grown our government by over $30 billion, a 40% increase since she took office. Instead of tapping into that increased spending for roads, her plan is to raise taxes and push the costs onto hard-working people across Michigan.”
