“One Issue, One Bill: Those we elect take upon themselves our trust to conscientiously research and debate each proposed law before they vote on it. They need to take the time to listen to their constituents and experts on the issue, look at the data, and give adequate time for public input and in-house discussion. Laws should not be written and then passed, tacked on to another bill with a different face value. That's passing it through backroom deals. Transparency is key!” (Ballotpedia)
“I want people to say of me, "She cared." I want to leave a lasting, positive impact on those whose lives I've touched.” (Ballotpedia)
