Safety, Education, Economic Development
As your State Representative, I will work to protect your rights to personal safety and security in your home, at work and in the community. I will be committed to educational excellence and support policies and programs that protect education. I will work to attract people, businesses and jobs to Detroit that help build up and sustain our communities.
Why Leslie Love Should Be Your State Representative
As a resident of this district, you deserve a State Representative who is responsive and responsible to this community. One who is unselfish, honest, creative,
optimistic, energetic, and encouraging. You deserve a State Representative who is about the business of the 8th District and who is willing to go to work everyday for Detroiters.
I want to serve because I love Detroit and I love and believe in the people of this city. I want to serve because I have hope. I believe we have the potential to live out our greatest dreams and realize our full potential in this lifetime. As your State Representative, I can promise you this: I will be responsive and responsible to you. I will work for you. I will listen to you. And most importantly, I will open my doors to you and ask you to be involved in your own destiny.
It is my vision for Michigan to be a state of prosperity and ingenuity, visionaries and pioneers. Detroit is central to that vision because within it, our people and businesses hold the seeds of hope, opportunity, intelligence, success, and love that will move this state forward. Michigan is a great state, and under the competent, compassionate and ethical leadership of Leslie Love Detroit will become the ideal place to raise families, grow businesses and enjoy tourism.
To improve the quality of life for Detroiters by protecting the health and safety of its residents, offering diverse educational opportunities that prepare people to participant and function in a technological and global world; and attract people and businesses to help create and sustain economic growth within our communities.
From the wisdom and experience of our seniors to the energy and optimism of our youth, I believe in taking care of people first. I believe that every child should have access to a good well-rounded public education; the health and safety of our residents is a priority that must be protected; that as we mature in age we should be able to retire with dignity and respect; and we are each responsible for the well-being of this planet.
