|- My background in health care qualifies me to help provide leadership as Oklahoma negotiates its way through the COVID19 pandemic.
- Continuing to repair the damage done to public education over the past ten years will be one of my top three priorities.
- Oklahoma's workers, especially those in essential occupations, need advocates like me who will defend their rights and their safety in the workplace.
I believe that every US citizen deserves access to: clean air, clean water, food, shelter, health care that is affordable and convenient, a good basic education, and a job with adequate pay and benefits. It will be impossible for this country to remain a leader among other industrialized nations unless we do a better job of taking care of our workers. A sickly, hungry, poorly educated workforce will leave us continuing to lose ground to other countries that understand this. Thus, the public policy areas of environmental standards, agriculture, health care, education, and labor are inextricably linked and equally important.
