Patrick Kapenga's Priorities for District 89
Three pillars. One vision: fix the system, return your money, and reward hard work. These are the fights Patrick will bring to Lansing on Day One — and every day after.
Three Pillars. One Vision: Restore Michigan.
Find and Eliminate the Waste
Michigan's government is drowning in waste. Patrick will push for a comprehensive audit of state spending, eliminate duplication, and restore fiscal accountability to Lansing — the foundation that makes every other reform possible.

Michigan families are overtaxed and underserved. Once waste is eliminated, Patrick will fight to phase out the state's 4.25% income tax entirely — keeping your hard-earned money where it belongs.

The American Dream isn't dead — it's asleep. Patrick will fight to unlock Michigan's potential by cutting waste, lowering everyday costs, and removing the barriers that punish hard work and skill.

Protect Local Control & Farmer's Rights
Lansing is increasingly overriding local communities on zoning, land use, and regulation. Patrick will fight to keep decision-making power with the people closest to the problem.
Defend the Sanctity of Life
Every life has value from the moment of conception. Patrick will stand firm on this conviction — as a respite foster parent, he has lived it, not just talked about it.
PA 233 & Energy Siting
PA 233 lets developers bypass local township and county decisions on large-scale energy projects. Patrick will fight to restore communities' voices over what gets built in their backyards.
