Administrative Priorities

Please explain in a total of 100 words or less, your top two or three priorities if elected. If they require additional funding for implementation, please explain how you would obtain this funding.
- My priorities include Medicare for All(single-payer universal health care), workers rights and a living wage, and caring for our veterans and military families. I also believe in leading the way in clean, sustainable energy technology in order to create jobs and transition away from fossil fuels 100%. As a nation we have the funds for anything we choose to prioritize, it is a matter of allocation. But making large corporations and the extremely wealthy pay their fair share will help our economy. Also, programs like M4A, save money and generate revenue.
