Campaign website
Richardson’s campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Community Guidance This campaign is geared to the solution of many of the issues we are generally confronted with. We are looking for improvement rather than perfection. Perfection is a goal that by its face is not achievable, but improvement is usually measurable and shows progress. I see that as a vast and welcome betterment of the people’s situation. We seek those changes that favor as many of our voters as possible. The range of the situations of our voters is huge. We are rich and poor, doing well, and struggling. There are those around us who are one medical emergency away from loosing our homes. We have trained for job markets that have evaporated before we complete the education only to have the expense destroy our futures. Finding work to pay back these education loans can rob the soul and the future success of the student is delayed or entirely derailed. Connect and Areas for Progress |
