Supports the maskless mandate & led the crusade to strip Gov. Whitmer of her emergency powers so his bottom line can increase...now he supports stripping ACA & preventive HC coverage from Michiganders during a pandemic!
How do the people of MI really matter to Mike Shirkey?
He's all good with ripping HC away from his voters...oh yeah...Vote to pass a bill that limits the power of the governor to proclaim a state of emergency...Did he limit Snyder when Flint water was poisoned?

See Shirkey's ratings & endorsements for yourselves...NRA loves him..
Unfortunately he's not on the ballot...
