Learn About the Candidates: Dr. Bob Lorinser

I’m Dr. Bob Lorinser, a family doctor, diplomat, social worker, educator, public health leader, and Medicare/Medicaid Medical Director. My wife Peggy and I have called Northern Michigan and the UP home for 36 years.

I strive to lead with honesty, empathy, and a commitment to unity and serve all citizens with respect and gratitude.

Candidates must be courageous to effectively problem-solve and I remain committed to boldly finding solutions to issues that matter most.

My priorities include fighting for hardworking families and small businesses through labor reform and livable wages.

Expanding public education, housing, and childcare are also crucial to economic prosperity.

I am dedicated to promoting energy independence, while protecting the environment and addressing climate change.

I will advocate for diplomacy to resolve international problems.

I strongly support protecting Social Security, expanding Medicare for all, and restoring Roe nationwide. A patient’s room is far too small for a woman, her doctor, and the entire US government.

Healthcare is a fundamental human right. With the US spending 30% of our national budget on healthcare, I will be an immediate subject-matter expert as the only Democratic family doctor in the House or the Senate. It will be the honor of my life to take our fight for universal healthcare to Congress.
