MI Hope Agenda

Michigan’s diverse communities are one of our state’s greatest strengths. From Haley Stevens’ time working for President Obama as Chief of Staff on his auto rescue, to representing Southeast Michigan in Congress, she’s put her hand up for Michigan in moments of crisis. Now, Haley is putting up her hand up to be Michigan’s champion in the U.S. Senate, where she will build on the work she’s done in the House of Representatives to speak up, fight for, and deliver for all Michiganders.

  1. Equitable Federal Investment
    • Ensure federal resources and infrastructure investments are delivered equitably to underserved Michigan communities to strengthen public services, transit, and economic opportunity where it is needed most.
  2. Economic Empowerment and Access
    • Expand access to capital and training for underserved communities and advance an industrial policy that creates jobs, lowers costs, and strengthens Michigan’s economic future.
  3. Safer Communities
    • Advance fair and accountable policing, invest in community-based violence prevention, and strengthen commonsense gun safety laws to protect families and rebuild trust.
  4. Health and Family Stability
    • Lower health care costs, advance health equity, protect science-based care, and defend Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid so Michigan families can live with dignity, health, and security.
  5. Education, Innovation, and STEM Workforce Future
    • Ensure Michigan leads 21st-century manufacturing and innovation by investing in education, STEM and job-training pipelines, and policies that strengthen the supply chain and prepare workers for the industries of the future.
  6. Water and Infrastructure
    • Prioritize safe, clean drinking water, invest in lead pipe replacement, and fight contamination like PFAS, especially in communities most affected by environmental injustice.
  7. Lowering Housing Costs
    • Increase housing supply, support low-income families, seniors, and people with disabilities, and strengthen pathways to the middle class.

The MI Hope Agenda is more than a policy document — it’s a promise as part of my love letter to our Black and brown communities in Michigan. Together, we can create a Michigan that works for people and our communities, not against them. - Haley Stevens
