The single most pressing issue facing our state is _______, and this is what I intend to do about it.
Besides Corvid -19 would be Water pollution , High water bills, besides the
largest source of waste imported into Michigan was still Canada, contributing 17.1 percent of waste disposed of in Michigan, We need to Vote to stop imported Waste. How much Nuclear Waste did they Import, We need Strong Leadership
That is why they call me Big Jim not afraid to get the job done.

What are the critical differences between you and the other candidates seeking this post?
Jim Nash Stated - The toxic green slime that appeared on I-696 last fall was an example of cooperation from the city of Madison Heights, the WRC, the Oakland County Emergency Operations Center, EGLE and the EPA. As in most cases of toxic sites and pollution, this was an industrial site with a long history of chemical violations, in fact the property owner was sentenced to prison. But from the news i heard that They injected chemical Neutralizers and DID NOT REMOVE ALL OF THE POLULATION DUE TO COST.... I THINK ALL OF IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REMOVED, WE DESERVE BETTER.

What accomplishments in your past would you cite as evidence you can handle this job?
I have worked on large projects with many Engineers on the team, under my Guidance and Knowledge made many successful Finishes. I worked under Upper Management which would fire you for not being prepared for any reason.
So I'm ready to Lead and work hard for our Citizens.

What steps should state government take to bolster economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic for local businesses?
Remove Gretchen Whitmer and Elect a successful Leader like Roger Penske.
Businesses that were forced to shut-down too long ,some are now Out of Business.

How will you address the calls for racial justice and police reform?
I have contacted many Senators - Gary Petters - no response . Congressman Levin talked with his staff, This is what my thoughts George Floyd / Stevens- Bill
This Bill proposes- A Citizen that witnesses Police use of excessive force be able to intervene if he or she feels that a individual is being
treated in a manner which great body injure is apparent. Intervene by verbal warnings or possible citizen restraint if no other officers are in the presence , if other Officers are present they must intervene immediately on the Citizens request or face termination.
Any Citizen who intervenes verbally or even by taking life saving restraint shall not be charged under any criminal prosecution.

List other issues that define your campaign platform:
Fight for Clean Water , Water Testing for Schools and across the County.

What else would you like voters to know about yourself and your positions?
I always strive to do my best, like i mentioned above only removing a partial amount of Chemicals that were dumped is a Job half done... I will get the Whole JOB done right the first time.
