Issue Position: Safety Net

Issue Position

For over 25 years I have worked on behalf of children and families directly in various positions at not for profit agencies. This work has given me a deep appreciation and understanding for human services and what they can do to help families and most importantly children succeed.

We need to make sure the resources our families need are available and efficient. We can't balance budgets on the backs of our most vulnerable and it is important that we find a way of funding our priorities while ensuring seniors, veterans and struggling families get the support they need in this tough economy.

We also have a big job ahead of us with the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. It is important that we be a good partner and help people navigate this new and important policy change so we can get coverage for thousands of additional people and reduce costs for the state.
