- Support an increase in wages so families can afford groceries and gas.
- Change laws to prevent predatory lending.
- Work to bring jobs and green industry to our district.
- Support local business, industry, and unions.
- Support family farms, grow local, buy local.
I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to achieve their dreams. But unless you have the basic needs of food, shelter, transportation, and health care, then achieving those dreams are nigh on impossible. In fact, if you must struggle to meet these basic needs, then your dream is just a pipe dream. We therefore need to spur economic growth through a focus on these basic needs. As part of the legislature, I would listen to and work with others to spur economic growth through increased support of our public education system so that our citizens (adults and children) have access to quality education and training, improving workers' protections and access to unions, ensuring health care coverage for all, and development of green energy jobs in our agricultural and manufacturing industries.
