A PROVEN CONSERVATIVE RECORD

​

As a state senator, Lana continues to honor the principles she first ran on. She is a leader who does what is right, even when it means standing up to special interest groups or the establishment. 

​

Lana voted against raising our gas taxes and increasing our vehicle registration fees. She also voted in favor of lowering our income taxes and opposed legislation that gave big tax breaks to businesses. Lana supported legislation creating transparency in the Michigan Legislature and Executive branch, similar to the Michigan Freedom of Information Act. 

​

Her number one priority has been fighting to reduce our auto insurance rates. She introduced diverse legislation increasing the protections for minors who become victims of sexual assault, encouraging mothers to choose life, protecting law enforcement officers, reducing unnecessary government regulations and licenses, and ensuring that we have the right to defend ourselves, our families, and our property. She also continues to fight for our 2nd Amendment rights. 

​

Lana Theis is a conservative leader who fights for traditional values, and as our state senator, she continues to work hard for her residents.
