Andrew Cyburt

Government Reform Championing legislation to make it easier for voters to recall elected delegates who abandon their platform or violate the public trust. We believe in true accountability. Government Reform Returning decision-making power to local municipalities on issues of zoning, community development, and public safety. Infrastructure / Transportation A thriving local economy requires reliable public transportation. I will advocate for increased state funding for regional transit networks (SMART and DDOT) to ensure seamless connections between District 10’s commercial corridors and the broader Metro Detroit area, benefiting both our workforce and our local retail sectors. Environment / Energy Fiercely defending our Great Lakes and local waterways from corporate pollution, runoff, and privatization. Government Reform Hosting regular, welcoming "potluck assemblies" to bring neighbors face-to-face to cure civic isolation, polarization, and rebuild social trust. The delegate system empowers neighbors to bond, debate ideas, and engage in collective policy making to propose legislation directly to Andrew. Infrastructure / Transportation I will champion state-level funding for local urban design initiatives, specifically supporting the "Kelly Road Complete Streets Corridor Plan" in Harper Woods and pedestrian-friendly infrastructure in Grosse Pointe to safely increase foot traffic and economic activity. Environment / Energy Fully funding our state and municipal parks so these vital community spaces remain beautifully maintained, accessible, and protected from being sold off to private developers. Infrastructure / Transportation Securing state funding to support vibrant, walkable commercial corridors—from historic hubs like The Village to the redevelopment of Kelly Road. Infrastructure / Transportation Strengthening regional public transit to link workers to jobs, reduce parking congestion, and bring reliable foot traffic to our local storefronts. Legislation We advocate for single-issue bills written in plain language. Hiding unpopular provisions inside massive, unrelated omnibus packages is anti-democratic. Clear, focused legislation ensures true transparency and allows the community to understand and debate the actual merits of a policy. Infrastructure / Transportation Securing funding for practical, neighborhood-level infrastructure improvements in the district's suburbs. Prioritizing immediate maintenance for local roads and investing in smart traffic mitigation, ensuring a smooth commute for working families. Economy I will sponsor legislation to audit and roll back massive corporate tax breaks that drain our state budget. Those recovered funds will be earmarked for a "Main Street Infrastructure Fund" to provide zero-interest loans to small businesses and fund municipal infrastructure. Economy Redirecting state economic funds away from megacorps and toward local entrepreneurs, family-owned shops, and worker-owned businesses. Infrastructure / Transportation Strongly supporting keeping zoning control in the hands of local municipalities, protecting neighborhoods from top-down state mandates to balance necessary growth with the preservation of our parks, green spaces, and the quiet suburban feel we love. Economy I will fight to redirect state economic development funds (MEDC) to provide targeted grants and tax incentives that help residents open businesses on corridors like Kelly Road or transition existing legacy businesses in Grosse Pointe into worker-owned cooperatives. Economy Ending massive corporate tax breaks and reinvesting that money directly into community-driven projects and small business loans. Environment / Energy Securing state funds to upgrade our aging stormwater infrastructure to stop neighborhood flooding, while ensuring every resident has access to clean, affordable, lead-free drinking water.
