- Bringing good paying jobs to our community will be a top priority when I am elected. Too many of our citizens are forced into grueling daily commutes just to earn a living. I will fight to bring high quality jobs with living wages and good benefits to our district, so that all our kids can expect to see their parents by dinnertime, and everyone can afford to pay for their needs and have a high quality of life.
- When people who work full-time can’t afford to house themselves or their families in our community, you know the system is broken. Too many people are sleeping in their cars, spending more than half of their pay on housing, or living in squalid conditions. We must act now to provide access to affordable housing for people at all income levels.
- As the daughter and sister of schoolteachers, I know that quality schools that are well-funded and supported are the hallmark of successful communities. I will work to increase funding for our schools, support our teachers and support staff, and focus on vocational training and higher education for students once they graduate. All of our students deserve to be successful, and they also need a bridge from high school to adulthood. Right now, far too many students are falling through the cracks and that is unacceptable.
