Oakland County Deserves Common Sense Leadership
Ralph Rebandt isn't just running for Oakland County—he's from Oakland County. As a longtime pastor at Oakland Hills Community Church in Farmington Hills, Ralph has spent decades serving families right here in our community. He knows our challenges because he lives them every day.
Oakland County is Michigan's economic engine—we account for nearly 20% of the state's GDP. But our families are struggling with high costs, our small businesses are being crushed by regulations, and Lansing politicians ignore our concerns. Ralph Rebandt will change that.
Ralph's Plan for Oakland County
🏠 Lower Property Taxes
Oakland County has some of Michigan's highest property tax rates. While we have excellent schools and services, hardworking families shouldn't be taxed out of their homes. Ralph will push for property tax reform that protects homeowners while maintaining quality services.
The Rebandt Difference: Cap property tax increases, provide homestead exemptions for seniors, and reduce wasteful state spending so local communities keep more of what they pay.
💼 Support Oakland County Small Business
From Troy's bustling business district to Novi's tech corridor, Oakland County is home to over 80,000 small businesses. They employ our neighbors and fuel our economy—but state regulations are strangling them. Ralph will cut the red tape.
The Rebandt Plan: Eliminate unnecessary licensing requirements, reduce regulatory burdens, and make Michigan the most business-friendly state in America.
🎓 Expand School Choice
Oakland County parents know what's best for their children—not Lansing bureaucrats. Whether it's Birmingham Public Schools, private academies, charter schools, or homeschooling, parents should have the freedom to choose.
The Rebandt Commitment: Universal school choice with funding following the student, curriculum transparency, and parents' rights enshrined in state law.
👮 Back Our Oakland County Law Enforcement
Ralph Rebandt serves as chaplain for the Southeastern Michigan Association of Chiefs of Police, working directly with Oakland County law enforcement leaders. He understands the challenges our officers face and will give them the support and resources they need.
The Rebandt Promise: Full funding for police departments, recruit and retain quality officers, and protect qualified immunity so our heroes can do their jobs.
🚗 Fix Our Roads (For Real This Time)
We've heard "fix the damn roads" before, but Oakland County drivers are still dodging potholes. Ralph won't just talk—he'll deliver real infrastructure improvements using Michigan's surplus responsibly.
The Rebandt Solution: Prioritize road funding, hold contractors accountable for quality work, and invest in infrastructure that lasts decades—not just election cycles.
🚀 Lead the Innovation Economy
Oakland County is home to automotive headquarters, tech startups, and financial services. Ralph's innovative policies—including gold-backed currency and blockchain technology—will position Michigan as the nation's leader in economic innovation.
The Rebandt Vision: Make Michigan a hub for cryptocurrency and fintech, attract high-tech jobs, and modernize state government with 21st-century solutions.
