A conservative statesman is to reconcile the claims of Progression with the claims of Permanence
REPRESENTING SOUTHWEST MICHIGAN WITH INTEGRITY
Hello and welcome! My name is Brad Paquette, and as a freedom-loving conservative Republican, I'm excited about what we can accomplish together - expanding liberty, simplifying government, and getting out of the way of active citizens who are seeking to fulfill their dreams. We strive to bring people together - of all ages and backgrounds - to embrace conservative truths through genuine fellowship. We are called to preserve first principles which, applied correctly to our system of government, allows blessings to be realized and opportunities to be capitalized upon by all Michiganders.
My campaign is a different one... rather than be a "check-the-box" guy who memorizes talking points, I am one who listens, learns, and then fully engages. There is immense wisdom to be gathered all across the 37th district. Over the last few years, I have been able to have thousands of conversations with incredible human beings in our special corner of Michigan, I am eager to have thousands more. When it comes to voting on legislation, before pressing one of the two buttons in that honorable house chamber, yes or no, I want to make sure to know as much as possible about who it is impacting. Please be sure to reach out of if you have insight or would like to connect on any legislative matter.
American leaders throughout our history have preserved a justly ordered freedom, and conservatives must keep this in mind as we look to what needs reform and what needs to be defended. A conservative statesman is to reconcile the claims of Progression with the claims of Permanence. My track record since being elected in 2019 is rock solid and I am encouraged to confidently state that conservative principles are my foundation in politics. If I make mistakes, I also wish to make them right. The COVID shutdowns were a test, where there is not a need to apologize for my bold stances against tyranny, election fraud, and overreach of government in 2020. These initial experiences tempered me I first entered the political arena and they informed my outlook on the role of state representative, today.
The fight is ongoing against infringement of the 2nd Amendment as red flag laws in this state must be overturned. I remain in a firm stance for life and the protection of children through stages of natural development against the immense dangers of gender theory. In economic and fiscal matters, I continue to advocate for clean budgets and the precept that limited government remains the best form. Thank you for making it possible to allow me to serve you in this capacity. It is the greatest honor of my life.
A TEACHER MAKES THE COMPLEX SIMPLE
I've been growing my roots in Southwest Michigan for the last 15 years as a neighbor, educator, and active citizen. Originally from the Upper Peninsula (a Yooper!), I was raised up with deep appreciation for the American Cause. I received my Bachelors in the Arts from Northern Michigan University (Political Science/Pre Law) then my Masters in the Art of Teaching from Andrews University in Berrien Springs.
Prior to serving three terms in the Michigan Legislature, I served as Vice-Chair of the Planning Commission in Niles, and as an educator at Niles New Tech. As a national demonstration site for Project-Based Learning within the New Tech Network from 2013-2018, I was able to become a leader for education reform. I had the privilege of teaching U.S. History, Civics, and Spanish - and most of all, challenging young people to ask the meaningful questions about life and to seek a deeper purpose.
Master teachers connect with where learners are and then seek to make complex matters easier to understand. This continues to be my approach while traversing the complex and contentious issues of state government in service to my constituents. I always wish first to genuinely understand and keep on learning.
I'd love to have a conversation with you about the State of Michigan and how we can improve our unique form of representative government. Use one of the surveys or head to my Facebook or X page if you are interested in following my interactions with those who wish to deliberate upon any of my stances. I do my best to give utmost respect to any who wish to dialogue together.
