Questions:
1. PRIORITIES: What are your top three national
legislative priorities? Why did you select them?
A: Healthcare - The number one concern on the minds
of families and businesses in the district is the rising
cost of healthcare. We need to work on reforms that
will make healthcare affordable and accessible, and not
by mandating a government-managed marketplace.
Jobs - My top priority is getting Michigans economy
moving again so the private sector can create jobs. I
believe one of the biggest challenges facing Michigan is
uncertainty. Debt and Deficit - Its time to stop the out-
of-control spending policies in Washington, D.C. and
halt government expansion. We need to curb spending
and begin paying down our debt.

2. ECONOMY: What should the federal government do
to strengthen the national economy, reduce unem-
ployment, and address the widening income gap?
A: I believe that the fiscal policies of Washington, D.C.
are out of control. I do not think the massive expansion
of government and huge amount of new debt American
taxpayers have been forced to take on in recent years
will help our economy grow or create jobs. The
Presidents fiscal policies have paved the way for
unsustainable spending in Washington while borrowing
even more from countries like China. The first step to
economic recovery is to stop out-of-control spending
and begin to pay down the deficit and the debt so
employers in Michigan and across America can borrow
the money they need to grow and create jobs.

3. ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT: What steps would you
propose to secure Americas energy needs while
protecting our water, air and land?
A: I believe we must do much more to expand all
sources of American energy and create an all-of-the-
above energy policy. While the debate over energy
issues has often been heated, I believe that it also
presents an opportunity for America to innovate, rather
than regulate, our way to a cleaner more secure and
affordable energy future. We must have a new energy
policy in this country that focuses on safely using
American innovation and American natural resources to
U.S. Congress Michigan District 8
Copyright League of Women Voters of Michigan Education Fund 2

create millions of jobs, bring down the cost of energy
and make America independent from overseas oil.

4. MONEY IN ELECTIONS: Do you support the Disclose
Act, which would require disclosure by outside groups
of large campaign contributions and expenditures?
Why or why not?
A: I do not support the Disclose Act, simply as a matter
of fairness. I wholeheartedly agree we need campaign
finance reform. However, for whatever reason, there
has not been the political will in Washington DC to get
done what needs to get done. I bring up fairness
because this version of the Disclose Act, like the first
version, still has exemptions. Organizations that meet
certain criteria in terms of membership and the number
of states in which they operate would not have to
disclose their donors. To me, this is not acceptable.
Disclosure must be across the board, with no
exceptions.

5. IMMIGRATION: What specific changes, if any, would
you propose to current immigration policy? Please
explain.
A: I believe that Congress must take action to address
our failing immigration system. It is evident that we
have a broken system that undermines existing laws
and threatens our national security. It is time to replace
ineffective policies with real reforms. I believe this
requires a massive response that allows America to
control its own borders, reform federal work laws, and
provide local law enforcement with the resources they
need to protect local communities. We can and must do
better to improve our legal immigration system for
future generations. I will not support any measure that
threatens our national security.

6. HEALTH CARE: What changes, if any, should be made
to federal health care policies or programs? Please
explain.
A: The number one health care concern on the minds of
families and small businesses is the rising cost of health
care. Congress should begin working on step-by-step,
bipartisan solutions that would actually lower
healthcare costs. These solutions include expanding
access to Health Savings Accounts, and allowing small
businesses to pool resources to purchase health
insurance for their employees. We should do this not by
mandating an expensive government-managed
marketplace, but by forcing insurers to actually
compete for their customers in the open marketplace,
across state lines much like we do now for auto
insurance.

Education: Bachelor's degree from University of
Michigan in Accounting/Economics
Qualifications / Experience: State Representative,

Questions:
1. PRIORITIES: What are your top three national
legislative priorities? Why did you select them?
A: 1. Eliminate the federal deficit and reduce the
national debt. It is unconscionable that we continue
to lay horrendous debt on our children and
grandchildren. 2. Eliminate Obamacare. This horrible
taking of our liberty must be repealed. We must
restore the ability to individuals to control their own
healthcare. 3. Return authority to the states. The
federal government should not be deciding health
care, welfare, education, land management, labor
policy and many other areas for all 50 states. The way
these would best be handled in Vermont, Wyoming,
California, Florida and Michigan, etc are all different.

2. ECONOMY: What should the federal government do
to strengthen the national economy, reduce unem-
ployment, and address the widening income gap?
A: The way to strengthen the economy and reduce
unemployment is to reduce burdensome regulations
on job providers and make the tax code much simpler
and less burdensome. Most regulation policy
decisions should be made at the state level and tax
policy needs to be more predictable and taxes lower.
The way to reduce an income gap is to increase job
opportunities, make America more competitive
through lower regulations. Also reduce corporate
welfare than only benefits the well-connected
wealthy.

3. ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT: What steps would you
propose to secure Americas energy needs while
protecting our water, air and land?
A: Allow projects like the Keystone pipeline, while
protecting property rights. Allow increased leasing of
federal lands for exploration and production. Encourage
free market alternative energy development by
reducing any regulations that are impediments.

4. MONEY IN ELECTIONS: Do you support the Disclose
Act, which would require disclosure by outside groups
of large campaign contributions and expenditures?
Why or why not?
A: Campaign finance laws have been largely ineffective.
We need to focus on eliminating the power in
Washington. Big money is given in campaigns,
because there are big payoffs - due to the power and
excessive spending in Washington. Eliminating
corporate welfare handouts to companies like
Solyndra, that just turn around and see their
executives give big donations to campaigns, will help
take big money out of politics. Large contracts, the
ability to crush competition through selective
regulations - these areas of crony capitalism are what
drive the money problems in politics. Power must be
removed from Washington.

5. IMMIGRATION: What specific changes, if any, would
you propose to current immigration policy? Please
explain.
A: We need to secure our borders. States should be
allowed to enforce immigration law when the federal
government fails to exercise their responsibility. We
need to end Americas attractive draw for illegal
immigration by eliminating governmental benefits,
such as, welfare, in state tuition, food stamps,
housing subsidies and free medical benefits for
people here illegally. Eliminate US citizenship for
"anchor babies", where non-citizens come into
America illegally in order to have their child on
American soil, thereby giving them citizenship.

6. HEALTH CARE: What changes, if any, should be made
to federal health care policies or programs? Please
explain.
A: Repeal ObamaCare. Return authority to the states to
decide health care policy and tort reform. We only
need to look at how the federal government treats
our veterans at VA hospitals to know that the federal
government cannot do healthcare right. Make sure
insurance can be sold across state lines to enhance
competition and lower premiums. Institute more
consumer choice and individual authority over health
care decisions, where possible.


Ken Darga, Democrat

Campaign Website:
www.darga4congress.com

Occupation / Current Position:
Served as Michigans State
Demographer until retiring to run
for Congress.

Education: Graduate degrees from the University of
Michigan in Economics and in Social Policy &
Administration
Qualifications / Experience: A state demographer is a
numbers guy who serves as liaison to the U.S.
Census Bureau and provides data and analysis to state
agencies, policy-makers, and other users of economic
and demographic statistics. Served as a health care
economist in the Michigan Department of
Management and Budget prior to becoming state
demographer. Authored two books on policy issues
involving the U.S. Census.

Questions:
1. PRIORITIES: What are your top three national
legislative priorities? Why did you select them?
A: (1) Bringing back factories (2) Restoring prosperity (3)
Protecting and strengthening Social Security. Bringing
back factories is a national security issue as well as a
jobs issue. Someday our factories will be converted to
military purposes in a crisis. If they are on the wrong
side of the ocean, however, they will be converted to
someone elses military purposes. While nations on the
other side of the ocean build military hardware at a rate
the world has never seen before, we will be seeking
new sources for light bulbs and computer equipment
and other items that our economy cannot function
without.

2. ECONOMY: What should the federal government do
to strengthen the national economy, reduce unem-
ployment, and address the widening income gap?
A: We can bring back factories by eliminating the
business taxes that drive jobs away and replacing them
with taxes that provide incentives to bring jobs back.
My strategy for bringing back prosperity is safe
stimulus. Simple changes in the way we create money
and the way we control inflation will make it possible to
U.S. Congress Michigan District 8
Copyright League of Women Voters of Michigan Education Fund 4

stimulate our economy without increasing the
governments debt burden or risking excessive inflation.
More factories and more prosperity will lead to higher
income for workers. Other steps to close the income
gap include raising the minimum wage, strengthening
the earned income credit, and tax reform.

3. ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT: What steps would you
propose to secure Americas energy needs while
protecting our water, air and land?
A: (1) Establish new taxes on fuels and pollution, with all
revenues used for per-capita tax credits and credits for
businesses and individuals that adopt energy-saving
measures. These credits would neutralize increases in
the cost of living and the cost of doing business that the
new taxes would otherwise cause. (2) Replace many
existing energy subsidies with pay-as-you-save loans for
businesses and households that adopt efficient energy
technologies. This would improve our environment at
no long-term cost to the government. (3) Establish
bonding requirements for activities like fracking that
entail environmental risks.

4. MONEY IN ELECTIONS: Do you support the Disclose
Act, which would require disclosure by outside groups
of large campaign contributions and expenditures?
Why or why not?
A: I support the Disclose Act because voters have a right
to know which organizations are seeking to influence
candidates and elections. I also believe that
organizations should not be allowed to spend or
contribute money for political purposes unless it was
freely contributed to the organization for political
purposes. Corporations are responsible to customers,
workers, and shareholders, so ordinary corporate funds
should not be used for political purposes that their
customers, workers, and shareholders have not agreed
to support.

5. IMMIGRATION: What specific changes, if any, would
you propose to current immigration policy? Please
explain.
A: Immigrants contribute to Americas economy and
culture and help preserve the solvency of our Social
Security system. Our immigration policy has generally
been successful at keeping the number of new
immigrants at a reasonable and sustainable level. There
should be a path to citizenship for undocumented
immigrants who have paid their tax liabilities and shown
that they can be good citizens. We should also prioritize
deportation of serious criminals over persons with clean
criminal records, those with immediate family members
who are U.S. citizens, and those who entered the U.S. as
children.

6. HEALTH CARE: What changes, if any, should be made
to federal health care policies or programs? Please
explain.
A: I propose a publicly administered option with high
copays that would compete with conventional coverage
on the insurance exchanges. This option would be
available to employer groups as well as individuals.
Copays would be calculated on a sliding scale and
payments that do not encourage cost-efficiency (such as
deductibles and the employee share of premiums)
would be replaced by payments into personal health
savings & loan accounts for covering copays. The high
copays would encourage economical choices, and some
of the savings would be used to help patients with high
expenditures to repay loans to their accounts.

Occupation / Current Position:
Professor/Director of Social Work,
Central Michigan University, Mt.
Pleasant, MEA member
Education: PhD, Social Work, and MPA, Public
Administration, Michigan State University, MSW,
Social Work, University of Illinois, Chicago, BA,
Education/Psychology, Albion College
Qualifications / Experience: Susan has many roles and
identities including social worker, adoptive mom of
four, professor, neighbor, lesbian, proud union
member. Her varied experience in universities,
nonprofits, and with the State of Michigan, as an
administrator, a social worker, an evaluator and an
educator, allowed her to accomplish goals with wide-
ranging constituencies. This will serve her well in the
halls of Congress.

Questions:
1. PRIORITIES: What are your top three national
legislative priorities? Why did you select them?
A: Protecting working families by assuring they have
good paying green jobs, strengthening education, and
protecting the environment. Working families in
Michigan are hurting and deserve a fair chance at a
good life. We can do that. I teach young adults, and
U.S. Congress Michigan District 8

there are many young people in the next generation of
my family. As a parent, an aunt and a professor, I know
we can do better than we have been to make sure the
next generations have a world where they can succeed
and be happy. They deserve to have access to a good
education and jobs when they finish school. They
deserve a world with clean water and air. We all do.

2. ECONOMY: What should the federal government do
to strengthen the national economy, reduce unem-
ployment, and address the widening income gap?
A: The economy is fueled by consumer spending. When
working people make enough to pay their bills and have
extra money, they spend it. When they spend money,
employers create jobs. Increasing the minimum wage
reduces the income gap which so harms working
families. And by asking corporations to pay their fair
share and reducing loopholes for the wealthiest
Americans, we could fund critical public projects such as
infrastructure repair (roads, bridges, sewer, water
systems). This would create good jobs while enhancing
public safety, protecting the environment and
protecting the structures needed to grow the economy.

3. ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT: What steps would you
propose to secure Americas energy needs while
protecting our water, air and land?
A: America needs a combination of incentives and
requirements to reduce use of fossil fuels, reduce
pollution, increase energy efficiency through new
technologies and increase use of renewable energy
sources. More expensive energy can still be affordable if
we use less of it. Tax rewards for companies who
develop new technologies or are energy efficient should
replace tax breaks for moving jobs to countries which
have fewer environmental protections. Tax breaks
should be renewed for people buying efficient autos
and increasing fuel efficiency in their homes. We need
to encourage sustainable energy production.

4. MONEY IN ELECTIONS: Do you support the Disclose
Act, which would require disclosure by outside groups
of large campaign contributions and expenditures?
Why or why not?
A: Yes, I support legislation to assure disclosure of large
contributions in order to make clear when there could
be parties influencing elections through campaign
contributions and expenditures. It is important for all
parties to be able to evaluate whose interests may be
influencing soon-to-be-elected or current elected
officials and, therefore, policies. Transparency and
accountability are important for democracy to flourish.
The voters have a right to know.

5. IMMIGRATION: What specific changes, if any, would
you propose to current immigration policy? Please
explain.
A: The United States is the country it is because of
immigrants. Immigrants and guest workers, such as
farm workers from Mexico, typically provide labor for
jobs that would not be filled otherwise. They contribute
to the economy in significant ways. Undocumented
laborers are often exploited by employers as they have
no protection, and those workers, too, are often making
a contribution to the economy. While we should not
encourage illegal immigration, we should have a path to
legal status and even citizenship for those whose sole
illegality is being in the country. That path could include
some penalties.

6. HEALTH CARE: What changes, if any, should be made
to federal health care policies or programs? Please
explain.
A: Health care access is a fundamental right. This is
done through access to affordable insurance. We must
refine the Affordable Care Act to assure that all people
have insurance while protecting people's jobs and the
stability of smaller businesses. This will require careful
and objective assessment of the strengths and
problems of the current policy, and bipartisan efforts to
solve problems. Possible improvements include
negotiating prescription costs and increasing prevention
efforts. Public programs such as health care for veterans
must be efficient, effective and timely. Healthy people
are productive employees.

initiatives. Licensed to practice law in Michigan,
Florida, and the US Virgin Islands. Successful small-
business owner. Former President of State Bar of
Michigan Consumer Law Section. Life-long resident of
the District. Speaks English and some Spanish.

Questions:
1. PRIORITIES: What are your top three national
legislative priorities? Why did you select them?
A: Initiating an American Renaissance; Being a
statesman (and encouraging stateswomen) to answer
the call of duty and bring a sense of responsibility and
progress back to politics, rather than typical partisan
bickering and lack of progress; Ensuring that
government is structured to improve the quality of lives
of its citizens, and that it is a force for good, never for
evil, and that our government works for, of, and by the
People. I chose these as my top three priorities, themes
of my campaign, because it is what is most needed in
politics. We are not thinking and planning long-term or
generationally.

2. ECONOMY: What should the federal government do
to strengthen the national economy, reduce unem-
ployment, and address the widening income gap?
A: Raise the minimum wage; Build the DRIC/NITC/ New
Detroit Bridge and invest in other infrastructure
projects that provide a public benefit; We need to build
the next generation electrical and internet grids;
Eliminate the Cuban embargo, create jobs; Legalize, Tax,
and Regulate cannabis for adults and farm industrial
hemp; Eliminate barriers of entry by eliminating non-
health and safety regulations and also structuring free
trade deals to benefit American workers; Promote
education through free or reduced college tuition along
the lines of the organization Redeeming Americas
Promise; Rebuild the Space Program.

3. ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT: What steps would you
propose to secure Americas energy needs while
protecting our water, air and land?
A: Support massive investments in solar technology.
The US must lead in alternative energies from solar,
wind, tidal, wave, geothermal and other non-
greenhouse gas, non-polluting sources. I support EPA
regulations on pollution, raising the federal gas tax,
instituting a carbon and/or pollution tax; strong
enforcement of the Clean Air and Water Acts, including
private rights of actions for citizens to litigate against
polluters; re-forestation projects and the Endangered
Species Act; protection of oceans and coral reefs, and
enforcement mechanisms against overfishing and waste
dumping. I oppose Great Lakes drilling.

4. MONEY IN ELECTIONS: Do you support the Disclose
Act, which would require disclosure by outside groups
of large campaign contributions and expenditures?
Why or why not?
A: I am doing my best to raise as little money as
possible and run a true constituent-oriented campaign. I
lead by example rather than talking points. Everyone
complains about money in politics but each party is
focused on raising as much money as possible. Its a
vicious cycle that has contributed to the political
tomfoolery we now suffer and has lead to Americas
decline because politicians are more focused on dialing
for dollars and the next short election cycle than on
good policy and statecraft. I will support efforts to
create transparency in electoral spending and
appropriate limits on contributions.

5. IMMIGRATION: What specific changes, if any, would
you propose to current immigration policy? Please
explain.
A: I support immigration and believe that we are all
members of the human family with an inalienable and
inherent right to freedom of travel, trade, commerce,
and free association. I oppose militarizing the border
and I oppose deportations of anyone but fugitives or
wanted criminals. I believe immigration is good for the
economy and that emotional scare tactics should not
prevail us from reason. Economic data indicates that
immigrants are a positive for communities regardless if
they are laborers or high-tech workers. I oppose E-verify
and oppose a National ID card but support reasonable
immigration control.

6. HEALTH CARE: What changes, if any, should be made
to federal health care policies or programs? Please
explain.
A: We spend the most dollars in total per any country
on healthcare; it is a bigger percentage of our GDP; we
spend more per-person; and we get worse results and
are more unhealthy than other similarly situated
countries. Thats economic fact and is the consensus
from which we must start in looking for solutions. In
general I support the Affordable Care Act as a step in
the right direction by increasing coverage for many
Americans and reducing costs. Where there are
problems with the ACA, I will work to improve them. I
will listen to anyone who has good ideas on improving
healthcare and always consider alternatives.

Occupation / Current Position:
Ingham County Treasurer and Land Bank
Chair

Education: Bachelor of Arts degree from Michigan State
Universitys James Madison College (JMCD 85) and a
Masters of Public Administration from Western
Michigan University (00).
Qualifications / Experience: Eric has been Ingham
County Treasurer since 2000. Prior he served 8 years
as Chief Deputy Drain Commissioner and 9 years as
Special Assistant to Congressman Bob Carr (D-MI). In
2005, Eric led the creation of the Ingham County Land
Bank, the second in Michigan, and serves as Chair. He
is a leader in the tri-county area for foreclosure
prevention and consumer financial literacy.

Questions:
1. PRIORITIES: What are your top three national
legislative priorities? Why did you select them?
A: One, we need to invest in our nations
infrastructureour roads, bridges, schools--all the
building blocks our economy and prosperity depend on.
Two, we need to address college affordability crisis and
rein in student loans that stop young people from
buying houses and achieving the American Dream.
Three, we need to strengthen Social Security, which is
the bedrock of security for our seniors, now and in the
future.

2. ECONOMY: What should the federal government do
to strengthen the national economy, reduce unem-
ployment, and address the widening income gap?
A: Women deserve equal pay for equal work. I also
believe we need to raise the federal minimum wage,
which has not kept pace with the rate of inflation over
time. Work should pay enough to keep people out of
poverty. I support a tax structure that incentivizes
companies that keep jobs in America--not outsourcing
jobs overseas. And we need to invest in infrastructure
that supports our economy and leads to strong
growtha great education system for our kids is part of
that. Right now the system favors Wall Street and the
ultra-wealthy, and that's wrong. I will always fight for
Michigan workers and families.

3. ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT: What steps would you
propose to secure Americas energy needs while
protecting our water, air and land?
A: Our biggest priorities should be improving energy
efficiency and investing in renewable energy sources
like wind and solar. Those investments will make us
more energy secure and keep prices down long-term.
We have no more important responsibility to our
children and grandchildren than protecting the water,
air and land we all depend on to live healthy lives.

4. MONEY IN ELECTIONS: Do you support the Disclose
Act, which would require disclosure by outside groups
of large campaign contributions and expenditures?
Why or why not?
A: Yes, I believe in transparency in campaign financing.
People have a sense that the system is rigged against
them, and how can they know unless we can see whos
funding what? Washington is dysfunctional, and a big
reason for that is Republicans in Congress putting
themselves and their special-interest campaign
contributors ahead of average Americans. They say
sunlight is the best disinfectant--what's been going on
in Washington could use a lot more sunlight.

5. IMMIGRATION: What specific changes, if any, would
you propose to current immigration policy? Please
explain.
A: As with almost any of the big issues facing us, this
Congress has failed to act. I will look for a bipartisan
solution that strengthens our border security and that
makes absolutely sure that those who broke the law
pay a penalty, learn English and go to the back of the
line. We need to modernize our immigration policy to
strengthen the economy and keep families together.

6. HEALTH CARE: What changes, if any, should be made
to federal health care policies or programs? Please
explain.
A: It is my priority that folks have access to high quality,
affordable healthcare. If you have a doctor you like, you
should be able to see that doctor. If you have a
preexisting condition, that shouldnt prevent you from
obtaining affordable insurance. I think it's great that
kids can stay on their parents' insurance until they're
26. The rollout of the affordable care act was frustrating
and disappointing, but what we cannot do is go
backward with repeal and put the insurance companies
back in charge. I will work with both sides on fixes that
can lower costs and improve access.
