Top Priorities if Elected |   
- Improvement of educational opportunities, including for children in low and moderate income neighborhoods in the 10th A.D.
 - A key issue I will support and work for is local economic development, including jobs, to support young families and youth entering adulthood.
 - Getting the state back on a sound fiscal footing that focuses on building the future instead of paying for the past (as in electrical deregulation)
