Campaign positions

What each campaign says.

Abdul El-Sayed

He supports a federal tax exemption on the first $50,000 of income for cost of living, taxing capital gains over $1 million as ordinary income, a higher marginal rate on earnings over $1 million and a tax on wealth over $1 billion.

Abdul for U.S. Senate

Mike Rogers

His campaign says he will lower the cost of gas, groceries and prescription drugs and bring manufacturing jobs back home. He calls for suspending the state and federal gas tax, and he backs what he calls the Working Families Tax Cuts, including no tax on tips and overtime.

Rogers for Senate Rogers for Senate Rogers for Senate

Lydia Christensen

She proposes no federal income tax on earnings under $150,000 a year, as a step toward eliminating the federal income tax, and supports removing tariffs, which she calls a regressive tax.

Lydia Christensen for U.S. Senate

Tim Long

No campaign website, platform or public statement by him was found. His FEC committee registration lists no website, the U.S. Taxpayers Party of Michigan's candidates page lists no candidates, and a web search for his name with the party and the office returned only election listings.

Douglas P. Marsh

He says he will advocate for a Universal Basic Income of $1,000 a month for every citizen over 18, and $1,500 a month for descendants of chattel slavery.

Walter P. Kristy

No campaign website, platform or public statement by him was found. The FEC records no campaign committee for him, the Natural Law Party of Michigan's site refused an automated reader and was not read, and a web search for his name with the party and the office returned only election listings and a poll.
