(Ballotpedia) “I have always admired Elizabeth Blackwell, the first woman doctor in the United States. She was turned down by 29 medical schools but never gave up her dream and was finally admitted into a small Upstate NY school after the 150 students voted unanimously to admit her. She graduated at the top of her class in 1849 with the help of sympathetic doctors that helped her along the way, especially offering to teach her anatomy in private.”
(Ballotpedia) “I believe legislators have a responsibility to help build a coalition to work together in finding solutions. Utahns want sustainable goals for cleaner air, water, transportation, and affordable housing. Building a healthy economy surrounded by a vibrant and healthy ecosystem, will provide economic and lifestyle benefits.”
