Priority Issues:

My priorities for our district are like four legs of a table. All four are needed for stability.

I support the creation of living-wage jobs in innovative industries.

I promote quality public education, providing teacher support, and reducing over-testing.

I'll work to ensure access to affordable health care including mental health care.

I will protect the environment including preserving public lands.

The centerpiece on this table is ethics overhaul, including transparency and accountability.
