Housing

In short

El-Sayed's campaign wants a building boom and would ban rent-setting software and bar large corporate speculators from owning homes. Rogers's campaign would let 529 savings plans pay first-time home down payments and roll back housing rules. Christensen's campaign backs rapid rehousing funded by capping the Pentagon budget; no position from Long was found. Marsh's campaign would keep private equity from owning homes and tie rents to local wages; no position from Kristy was found.

Campaign positions

What each campaign says.

Abdul El-Sayed

He calls for a building boom through federal investment and looser local rules, a ban on large corporations that speculate on housing owning homes at all, and a federal ban on algorithmic rent-setting software.

Mike Rogers

His housing plan would let 529 savings plans pay first-time home down payments, give renters credit for on-time rent, roll back housing regulation, and create residential zones where new construction is tax-free.

Lydia Christensen

Her housing plan starts with a rapid rehousing program run through the Department of Health and Human Services, which she would fund by capping the Pentagon budget.

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 private equity companies should not own residential property, rents should be tied to an area's prevailing wages, and short-term rentals must be regulated.

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.
