From Bottom‑Ten to Boomtown: MichiganSen Aric Nesbitt’s Blueprint to Rescue Michigan

from Justin Barclay · host WOOD Radio

Senator Aric (Eric‑with‑an‑A) Nesbitt says Michigan’s tumbling into the bottom‑ten club thanks to Governor Whitmer’s spend‑and‑tax spree, busted roads, and a Green New “Scam” that carpets farmland with Chinese solar panels. He warns the state will lose 700 k people over the next generation unless it slams on the progressive brakes and embraces lower taxes, abundant energy, and business‑friendly rules. On the bright side, he touts wins brokered with President Trump—F‑15s for Selfridge, a fast‑tracked Line 5 tunnel, and stricter border security—as proof conservative governance delivers. Running for governor, Nesbitt pitches a back‑to‑basics playbook: fix roads without new taxes, block foreign land grabs, keep energy cheap, and make Michigan the place where people want to live, work, and build again.Quick‑hit takeawaysMichigan in the cellar: Whitmer’s policies dragged the state to 43rd/44th in national rankings—broken roads, broken schools, ballooning spend, and a $9 billion surplus “printed away.”Population cliff: Stay the course and Michigan could bleed 700 k residents in 30 years—“poorer, dumber, with fewer opportunities.”Why he’s running: Nesbitt frames the 2026 race as a fork in the road: status‑quo decline vs. a pro‑growth reset.Trump partnership wins: Selfridge lands F‑15s and hundreds of jobs; Line 5 tunnel fast‑tracked, securing propane for 400 k homes.Green New “Scam”: Dem energy law will industrialize 300 k farm/forest acres with subsidized Chinese solar panels—angering rural voters and handing the GOP a 2026 rallying cry.Farmland sovereignty: Pledges to block foreign (read: Chinese) land buys that threaten food security.Roads without tax hikes: Fix infrastructure by reprioritizing, not raising taxes.Make‑things‑in‑Michigan agenda: Lower taxes, faster permits, reliable cheap energy, right‑to‑work restored, “capital follows the path of least resistance.”Border & security brag: Cites Trump’s 99.98 % drop in illegal crossings, vows to keep momentum.Get in touch: directs voters to NesbittForGovernor.com and social platforms for Q&A and events.Get the stories from today's show in THE STACK: https://justinbarclay.comJoin Justin in the MAHA revolution - http://HealthWithJustin.comProTech Heating and Cooling - http://ProTechGR.com New gear is here!
