Sean will fight to invest in modern water infrastructure by replacing aging pipes, upgrading stormwater systems, removing lead service lines, and addressing failing septic systems before they threaten our lakes and drinking water.

He also believes care should come earlier, not in crisis—expanding preventive care and mental health services so families can get support sooner. It also means expanding state oversight and authority over consolidation of hospitals and healthcare systems, and increasing price transparency so patients know what they'll pay before receiving services.

A home of your own is the foundation of the American Dream. Sean believes it should be within reach for every Michigan family, not just a lucky few. Addressing this challenge means building more housing—giving communities the tools to modernize zoning and planning, encouraging responsible redevelopment, and supporting new construction. It also means direct support for first-time buyers and expanded property tax relief for seniors so they can age with dignity. Learn more
