“Personally, I’m passionate about improving public health. Our state has high rates of chronic disease, especially among underserved demographics. I also lost both my grandmothers to Alzheimer’s disease. We need to be doing more to improve health and longevity for our people.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)
“A collaborative leadership approach, an ability to listen, and the experience necessary to act. In my experience as a community organizer and advocate, these are the most important characteristics to creating meaningful change.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)
“Homelessness and housing. People experience homelessness for a variety of reasons, and we need a comprehensive approach that addresses all of these underlying causes. Meanwhile, the lack of truly affordable housing is the main reason why our state’s population has been declining for years as people face financial pressure to leave their communities.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)
