Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Hello , my name is Abraham Shaw ii A candidate for State Representative District 7. I've lived in the district for 57 years , seen many of the changes, good and bad . I decided to run for office to add a regular citizen's voice and experiences to the problems we need solved in Lansing. For far to long the party's have put their preferred candidate and we've watched them fail us on policy after policy. I've had enough of just venting from afar, so I decided to run. But I am running without any outside donations or help besides citizens. I think this is the best way to represent my neighbors and district, as if elected I would only owe my loyalty to them.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

That for us to move ahead and prosper,Education should be funded with qualified individuals who are passionate about teaching our children the skills necessary for a better chance to succeed in life, but also who want to stay in Michigan to do it.
Living near a area that has been rezoned for heavy industrial, I have a firsthand seat to the abuse on tax and environmental problems some companies have done in area near Hamtramck, and east Detroit . I have attended public meetings and where I have spoke with a few companies that are trying to work out compliance. But also to create an area where citizens and businesses can coexist.
If elected, I would like to take another look at the auto insurance policy to see if there is more ways to get better rates. Since the last bill passed, the rates have increased eaving everyone perplexed about the so-called savings that were promised.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am very passionate about corporate Tax policy and environmental protection. Environmental abuse is what made me decided to run for office.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

To be honest and straightforward while debating issues freely with other Rep's to come to and understanding.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

Being a mechanic for over 40 years has given me many traits that I believe will be perfect for a representative. The most important 3 qualities that stands out to me is the ability to listen, have patience and communicate. I want to focus on these 3 because as a representative, I have to be able to truly listen to the citizens in my district and understand there problem. By doing this it will allow me to create better policies in the best interest of my district members.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

To communicate with citizens about issues and advance those ideas into meaningful policies to help the people in my district
and the state of Mi.

What legacy would you like to leave?

The one that I have left with everyone that knows me. That I'm honest, straight forward and I don't say something that I don't follow through on. Character is paramount in my opinion.

Yes, any idea or concern I want to have put in legislation will get nowhere if I do not build some sort of relationship with other members of government.

Are you interested in running for a different political office (for example, the U.S. Congress or governor) in the future?

I haven't thought that far ahead. I am only focusing on getting this position.

Should the legislature oversee or grant the use of emergency powers?
