I do not believe in widening the income gap between rich and poor, and my life's work in the inner city of Detroit demonstrates that far more than any sound bite.

We need a country that embraces all, and rewards innovators, entrepreneurs, job creators, and hard-working people of all sorts.
I'm for innovation and a commitment to a rising tide that lifts all boats for all Americans.
