Fighting for District 28
District 28 families are being squeezed by rising costs, out-of-control spending, and a Lansing that isn't listening. Brandon Crabill is running to change that — with real accountability, real transparency, and real relief for Michigan families.
Issues
Affordability & Rising Costs
Michigan families are being priced out — it has to stop.
The cost of groceries, gas, utilities, and everyday necessities has skyrocketed while wages haven't kept pace. District 28 families are making impossible choices every month. Brandon Crabill will make affordability his top priority in Lansing — fighting to lower the tax burden on working families, oppose costly mandates, and push back against the policies that are making Michigan too expensive to live in.
Brandon's Commitments
- Cut income and property taxes for working families and retirees
- Oppose energy mandates that drive up utility bills
- Eliminate fees and regulations that raise the cost of everyday goods
- Protect seniors on fixed incomes from rising costs
- Fight against unfunded mandates passed down to local communities
Government Spending & Transparency
Your tax dollars deserve accountability.
Michigan families tighten their budgets every month — Lansing should do the same. Runaway government spending fuels inflation, drives up debt, and wastes the hard-earned money of District 28 taxpayers. Brandon will demand a full accounting of where every dollar goes, push for a balanced approach to the state budget, and fight to make government spending transparent and accessible to every Michigan resident.
Brandon's Commitments
- Require line-by-line public disclosure of state budget expenditures
- Oppose budget bills that grow government without measurable results
- Audit state agencies for waste, fraud, and inefficiency
- End backroom budget deals — all spending votes must be public and on the record
- Demand performance metrics for every state-funded program
Affordable Housing & Property Taxes
Making homeownership attainable again.
Too many District 28 residents are being priced out of their own communities. Brandon supports policies that expand housing supply, provide meaningful property tax relief, and protect homeowners from being taxed out of homes they've lived in for decades.
Brandon's Commitments
- Expand property tax relief for homeowners and seniors
- Remove regulatory barriers that limit housing supply
- Support workforce housing development in rural areas
- Protect renters from predatory practices
Roads & Infrastructure
Fixing Michigan's roads — for real this time.
Michigan's roads are among the worst in the nation, and District 28 communities feel it every day. Brandon will demand accountability for how infrastructure dollars are spent, prioritize rural road repair, and ensure local communities get their fair share of state and federal funding.
Brandon's Commitments
- Prioritize rural road and bridge repair in District 28
- Demand accountability and transparency in road funding
- Improve water and broadband infrastructure in underserved areas
- Ensure local communities receive their fair share of funding
Education & Workforce Training
Preparing Michigan's next generation for real careers.
Every child in District 28 deserves a quality education, and every adult deserves a path to a good-paying job. Brandon supports empowering parents, improving school quality, and expanding vocational and workforce training programs that connect residents to in-demand careers.
Brandon's Commitments
- Empower parents with more school choice and transparency
- Expand vocational and trades training programs
- Increase funding for rural and under-resourced schools
- Connect workforce training to local employer needs
Small Business & Rural Economy
Growing jobs where people actually live.
As a small business owner himself, Brandon understands what it takes to create jobs and keep a business running. He will fight to cut red tape, lower the cost of doing business in Michigan, and support the rural and small-town economies that are the backbone of District 28.
Brandon's Commitments
- Cut regulations that burden small businesses
- Lower business taxes to attract and retain employers
- Support agricultural businesses and rural economies
- Invest in broadband to enable remote work and commerce
Homelessness & Real Solutions
Compassionate results, not endless spending with nothing to show.
Michigan communities are spending millions on homelessness programs that cycle people through the system without ever solving the problem. Brandon Crabill has worked directly with homeless outreach efforts in District 28 and knows firsthand that real solutions require accountability, not blank checks. He will demand measurable outcomes for every dollar spent, support community-based programs that actually move people toward stability, and end the cycle of wasteful spending that helps bureaucracies more than it helps people.
Brandon's Commitments
- Require outcome-based accountability for all state homelessness funding
- Support local faith-based and nonprofit organizations with proven track records
- Address root causes — mental health, substance abuse, and lack of workforce skills
- Oppose one-size-fits-all state programs that ignore local community context
- End funding for programs that cannot demonstrate measurable results
Local Control & Stopping Overreach
District 28 communities know what's best for District 28.
Lansing bureaucrats and state government have no business dictating how local communities run their schools, manage their land, or serve their residents. Brandon Crabill believes decisions that affect Bronson, Coldwater, and every community in District 28 should be made by the people who live there — not handed down from the state capital. He will fight every attempt to strip local governments of their authority, block government surveillance of law-abiding residents, and push power back where it belongs: with the people.
Brandon's Commitments
- Oppose state mandates that override local zoning and land use decisions
- Protect local school boards from state curriculum overreach
- Block Lansing from defunding or restructuring local governments without voter approval
- Restore local control over public safety and emergency services
- Oppose government surveillance programs that monitor law-abiding residents without consent
- Fight one-size-fits-all state policies that ignore rural community needs
Public Safety & Substance Abuse
Safe communities and compassionate solutions.
District 28 residents deserve to feel safe in their homes and communities. Brandon supports fully funding law enforcement, giving officers the tools and training they need, and addressing the substance abuse crisis with community-based solutions that treat the root causes — not just the symptoms.
Brandon's Commitments
- Fully fund local law enforcement and first responders
- Expand community-based substance abuse treatment programs
- Support mental health resources in rural communities
- Oppose policies that undermine public safety
