- "As a gun owner and a mother, Callie also believes that when it comes to firearms, common sense makes a lot of sense. Callie believes in responsible gun ownership and respecting gun owners and our right to bear arms. Like many people in Upper and Northern Michigan, Callie grew up around guns in a family of hunters and sportsmen. Today, she lives in a gun-owning home and supports the Second Amendment and the right for law-abiding citizens to own a firearm. As a mom, Callie also knows that firearm-related injuries are now the number one killer of children in America and school shootings have become a national epidemic. Itâs why she supports common sense solutions that are supported by a majority of Americans and Michiganders, including background checks, safe storage, and red flag laws to prevent firearm related injuries, school shootings, and domestic violence. Callie knows we can continue to respect the rights of responsible individuals while enacting measures that make sense." (callieforcongress.com)
- "Callie knows that healthcare should be a right and not a privilege for the wealthy and well connected. No family should go bankrupt because of a medical emergency. Right now, the medical care and prescription drugs that families and seniors need is simply out of reach for too many. And, access to mental health and other healthcare services can be hard to come by. Callie will stand up to big pharmaceutical and insurance companies to lower the cost of healthcare and expand access in rural Michigan." (callieforcongress.com)
