Education
|
As a mother and a teacher, I see first hand everyday the value of public education. We must increase our investment in public education in order to lower class size, and adequately provide services to our diverse populations.

Environment
|
My family and I chose to live in our community because of the outstanding recreational activities. In order to protect our quality of life, we need to support a healthy living environment with better air quality and access to clean, open public lands.

Responsible Development
|
As our area continues to grow, we must implement smart planning that fits our community. We have too much traffic and congestion on our major thoroughfares. As our tourist economy is increasing, we must collaborate with state and local government to make sure we implement smart growth.

Medicaid Expansion
Medicaid expansion provides very important efficiencies in healthcare, I want to create a path for inexpensive preventive care instead of expensive crisis care. Insured kids should not have to watch their uninsured parents suffer. Medicaid expansion maintains healthy caregivers and helps small business and their employees focus on their business, not their health costs. The expansion would protect the 1 in 7 women who experience postpartum depression by extending their care and it prevents uncompensated hospital care from increasing.
Healthcare
- Healthcare is important to sustaining a productive workforce, it secures better attendance in our school allowing all students to succeed.
- Healthcare costs are the leading cause of bankruptcy. Medical bills shouldn't lead to homelessness. I will support our working class, who fuel this country, to have access to affordable care.
