Why should voters elect you?
I am the candidate that understands and will fight for our hardworking middle-class families. I will bring the change we want, need and deserve.
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
Washington has abandoned our hardworking middle-class families and chosen to work for the super rich. Wages are flat, our current health-care system denies access to many of our people, and middle-class families are paying more than their fair share of taxes. Our educational system across pre-K through higher education does not have sufficient federal investment essential to ensure broader prosperity and a better future for everyone. Middle-class college students have to mortgage their future in order to have one because of being shackled to student loan debt. Our district needs U.S. congressional leadership that will fight for change.
