2016 Candidate Interview Ryan Manier for State Rep 41st District (video)
(Crystal A. Proxmire, June 20, 2016)
Troy, MI – Republican Ryan Manier is running for State Representative for the 41st District, which is Clawson and Troy. He will be on the August 2, 2016 primary ballot against incumbent Martin Howrylak. The winner of the primary will face the Democratic candidate Cyndi Peltonen.
Manier is a public school teacher in Troy who is running as a Republican but considers himself a Libertarian. “I feel like State Rep is just a great way to just use a platform to spread the message of liberty,” he said. “And the thing I’d like to talk mostly about is the Federal Reserve, and how it’s robbing from us all the time. A lot of people realize that taxation is theft. Not a lot of people realize that inflation is theft.”
He spoke about economic theories, the gold standard, and his desire to end taxes and government services like public education and trash pick-up. He also talked about being a public school teacher and giving back by educating kids about liberty.
