This is the pathway to creating 21st century jobs that will provide a living wage.
- The homeless crisis must be addressed! The state needs to replicate and fund proven programs. There are simply too many families, Vets and seniors on the streets.
- We must aggressively address the climate crisis and it's sister issue, poor air quality. There is no time to waste!
Education isn't an expense, it is an investment in our future. Every dollar we spend on early childhood education and pre-K, leads to about $1.70 in future tax dollars. We want adults leading healthy and productive lives, so we need to make sure that as children they are given the education and support they need to thrive. Every child in our state deserves to have access to excellent schools and to have the opportunity to pursue higher education.
