John James

Economy
Branded "Make Work Great Again," the economic plan commits to eliminating Michigan's state income tax, identifying $3 billion in what the campaign calls waste in year one (citing economic-development slush funds, unspent general-fund balances, and uncollected unemployment-fraud penalties), and phasing out the income tax as spending cuts and growth allow, alongside tax credits for workers in shortage occupations like nursing and the trades.

Health
Under a named Michigan Family Health and Freedom Plan, the campaign proposes price transparency and direct primary care to lower costs, recruiting more rural providers, requiring independent safety-data review and informed consent for medical interventions, auditing state food purchases to remove synthetic dyes and additives, and a "toxic load reduction" plan targeting PFAS and pesticides.

Agriculture/Food
The health plan overlaps into agriculture, proposing incentives for regenerative agriculture and soil health and promotion of local whole-food supply chains; separately, the campaign notes James's congressional vote for the first new Farm Bill in eight years and for barring foreign governments, including China, from buying American farmland.

Security
A "Safety & Public Order" section commits generally to building safer communities through prevention, mental-health support, and stronger school safety, though without extensive further detail.

Education
Framed as an Education Freedom Agenda, the plan proposes opting into a federal K-12 education tax credit, expanding charter schools, requiring mastery-based rather than age-based grade promotion, a "Parents' Bill of Rights" covering curriculum transparency and parental consent for medical treatment, restoring the Pledge of Allegiance and a civics-test graduation requirement, and reducing the number of school districts (currently near 600) to cut administrative overhead.

Governance
A named Freedom from Corruption Agenda proposes full financial-disclosure requirements for the governor and senior officials, ending FOIA exemptions for the governor's office and legislature, a ten-year audit of state spending, a four-year post-office lobbying ban for legislators and statewide officials, and an independent audit of voter rolls to remove non-citizens. A separate "CLEAR Initiative" would audit and provide relief for COVID-19-era enforcement actions in three phases: review, relief (including fine refunds), and legislative reform requiring legislative approval to extend any future emergency order beyond 14 days.
