- I’m running as an advocate for our community. The divided “aisle” is a fiction. We are united in our core principles as Americans!
Education connects our generations to the virtues of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. In these ideals we honor the sacrifice of those who gave their lives and livelihoods so that we can live in a free and just society. We bear the responsibility to fulfill the promise of our Founders and work towards a more perfect union. I honor our Founders’ vision and sacrifices for our country. I believe in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
I care about the kind of country my granddaughters and your families will inherit! - I will focus on affordability and economic opportunities for every family. I will promote American manufacturing, good paying jobs and fair wages, and work to position the American workforce to lead the future frontier of industry and technology. This work is essential for safeguarding the US dollar's status as the world’s reserve currency and to protect and create high-paying jobs in our District.
- I will advocate for policies to expand access to quality healthcare at reasonable costs and address staff shortages to restore safe patient ratios. I recognize that access to nutritious food and safe water is essential to reducing healthcare costs. That’s why I will apply to be on the Agriculture Committee. I believe that all communities deserve accessible quality services, including enhanced health and mental wellness tools. Addressing the underserved healthcare of women and families is essential.
