HEALTH CARE: What specific steps will you take in Congress to address healthcare affordability, access, and quality for the people you represent?
Magoon: “I have been working as an RN in West Michigan for the last 17 years, and have personally witnessed how the current system is failing us. I 100% support a single payer system for all preventative and urgent care needs including prescriptions, mental health, dental, and eye care. No more incremental change, no more profits made from people’s suffering. America must change how we view healthcare in this nation. You don’t pay more than your neighbors to drive on the road, to send your child to school, or for your local police or firemen to respond to an emergency. Why then do we limit healthcare based on who you are and what you can afford.”
ECONOMY: What policy initiatives do you support for residents to earn a living wage and address the overall question of affordability across Michigan?
Magoon: “A living wage is not just about raising wages. We also need to talk about reducing the cost of living. Men and women working full-time jobs are increasingly unable to meet basic family needs without relying on public assistance. We must combat barriers for those seeking employment such as food, housing, education, childcare, healthcare, and transportation. It’s difficult for moms and dads to maintain steady work when they are homeless, hungry, sick, and have no reliable transportation.”
ENVIRONMENT & ENERGY: How would you approach ensuring energy reliability, consumer affordability, and environmental protection in Michigan?
Magoon: “One bipartisan issue that comes to mind and directly relates to energy and environment is “Data Centers”. Most of us recognize there is a growing demand for these facilities, however no one wants one in their community. People are concerned about the water and energy that they draw from their communities and the potential negative effects on public health and the environment. People should be encouraged to exercise their rights and participate in decision-making on these issues, and government leaders must respect their decision, and not cater to real estate developers and construction firms.”
IMMIGRATION: What is your position on due process, First Amendment, and Fourth Amendment rights for all Michigan residents, including noncitizens, and what changes, if any, would you support?
Magoon: “To be very clear, I support the Constitution as is, and the only improvements that I could support are those that would increase the rights of all individuals regardless of citizenship. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that ALL men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, ...” -------Declaration of Independence”
