- "Michael is aware of the billions of dollars in commerce lost to inadequate or failing infrastructure. Governor Gretchen Whitmer promised to "fix the damn roads." We also need to fix the damn dams and the bridges. Improvements to these facilities are necessary to support transportation for farm products and e-commerce capabilities for farmers and rural Michiganders. Improved infrastructure should also include solar and wind energy projects. Fossil fuels will not last forever. As we move into the 21st century, communication and connectivity are more important than ever. Reliable and affordable broadband internet and dependable cell phone service are essential for at-home workers, students, and farmers. Upgrades to these services will help farmers to improve the productivity of their fields and ranches." (electmichaellynch.com)
- "The lack of affordable housing can stifle economic growth in rural areas, particularly in vacation areas and areas with seasonal residents.

- "Few things are more important to the health of a democracy than the right to have oneâs vote counted. The principle of one person, one vote is at the heart of our democracy. In this country, all registered voters get a voice, and that voice should not be muffled or silenced. Elections and those who facilitate them are under attack. Little proof has been presented that our elections are rigged or should be considered unreliable. Anyone who claims that our elections are falsified or who would join legislators in trying to overturn a fair election does not have the best interest of our country in mind. Michael Lynch supports regulations and laws to make voting as easy as possible so everyone can have their voice heard. As your representative, Michael Lynch will be a megaphone for your voice and the voice of Michiganders." (electmichaellynch.com)
- "Clean and renewable energy projects, such as solar and wind farms, will help farmers and rural Michiganders by creating jobs and boosting tax revenues. Michael believes we should welcome companies developing and building the technology to power electric motor vehicles." (electmichaellynch.com)

- "Recent Supreme Court rulings jeopardize access to reliable healthcare. Doctors hesitate to provide necessary care for fear of breaking the law. Over the past 40 years, healthcare costs in America have skyrocketed while lifespans have not increased. The Declaration of Independence provides that our creator endows us with certain rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Access to quality healthcare should not be based on oneâs ability to pay. Insurance coverage should not be based on pre-existing conditions. Michael Lynch supports increased funding, including scholarships and support for students, to improve the availability and quality of healthcare in rural Michigan." (electmichaellynch.com)
