- Farrell's platform is built on the need to refocus government's role back to serving the people of the community and their interests.
- Provide better opportunities for each and every resident, with a focus on education, healthcare, the economy, and the environment.
- In the history of our country, we have rarely faced a more perilous convergence of events than what we face today. In 2020 alone, we are fighting to control a global pandemic, mending a struggling economy, and finally taking a stand against racism. In light of the current situation, it has become apparent to me that our state and national government is in dire need of new leadership that will represent the interests of all of the people, not just some of the people.
