“My priorities are simple: make life more affordable, lower healthcare costs, and improve quality of life. That means putting more money back in working families’ pockets, protecting access to healthcare close to home, and investing in the things that make rural communities strong: good schools, safe neighborhoods, reliable infrastructure, and family-wage jobs.”
(Campaign website (electmarialittlesun.com)) “As the mother of a special needs child and a two-income household, I know our community cannot continue on with the current cost of living. Seniors are being pushed out of retirement, and people are struggling to pay rent and mortgages.”
