Education: Strengthening our public education systems will be a priority for me in the legislature. This district has 8 public school system represented with varying needs, but each should provide students with an education which provides them a pathway for success both in and out of the classroom. Attracting new teachers to the profession and providing teachers with the funding and resources to educate our children well for continued success is critical to improving our community's future.
Community Safety: The health and safety of residents is a top priority, and my record shows that I support our first responders by providing them with the necessary equipment and training to serve out residents. I will continue this work as State Representative, ensuring our public safety teams, police and fire, are not only equipped to react to emergencies, but also proactively assist residents.
