“I’ll advocate for transparency and accountability from insurance companies and hospital systems. I’ll fight to make sure our state is training enough nurses and healthcare workers to keep up with demand- I’ve experienced, firsthand, how hard it is for patients to get timely care when the system is stretched too thin.” (Campaign website (electashleyfedan.com))
“Cut through bureaucratic delays that slow down affordable housing projects, so good developments are built instead of permits that sit on desks for years. Housing is a basic human need- I will address it as such in the legislature.” (Campaign website (electashleyfedan.com))
