What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
| “ | 1. Full funding of quality public education including universal pre-k through vocational/career/technical post-secondary 2. Immediate expansion of Medicaid with goal of improved and expanded Medicare for All | ” | 
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?
| “ | I am personally passionate about all of the five initiatives above. I have committed my life and career to loving my neighbor and Good Government is how we translate loving our neighbor into practice. The function of government is to provide the protection and infrastructure for opportunity for all of its citizenry. The current move toward privatization of infrastructure is a move away from a functional society and toward an ever increasing divide of wealth and opportunity.Cite error: Invalid <ref>tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[4] | ” |
