Campaign themes

Biographical submission

Cumings submitted the following campaign themes through Ballotpedia’s biographical information submission form:

“	What is your political philosophy? I am representing the populist, progressive left. I am running on a quality of life campaign, centering around Universal Access to Healthcare, expanding the safety net, and education as a fundamental right, (i.e., University/Community College/Trade School/Whatever-for-all). As a recovering opiate addict, I feel I can bring unique insight to our current Addiction Epidemic. I also love some one who suffers from mental illness (my wife) and I struggle with my mental health, as well. We know how to reform the system because we are currently in the system.	”
—Christopher Cumings
