In short

Rogers's campaign would suspend gas taxes and backs no tax on tips and overtime. Christensen's campaign would end federal income tax on earnings under $150,000; no position from Long was found. Marsh's campaign backs a $1,000-a-month basic income for adult citizens; no position from Kristy was found.
Campaign positions
What each campaign says.
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.
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.
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.
