“What would be your top three priorities, if elected? (1) Listening to my constituents (being accessible, responsible to their concerns). The biggest problem with the incumbent is his "guns everywhere" legislation that he pushed through last legislative cycle without listening to all stakeholders. We need to fix Act 562 to make it more pragmatic and takes into account the local control of public colleges and universities again.” (Ballotpedia)

“What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Public education and healthcare are my biggest two passions and uniquely there are also the same biggest areas of focus for our state legislature. Another close issue to my heart is food insecurities. I founded Feed Communities to help bridge the gap between our local farmers and those areas in our community that need food.” (Ballotpedia)
