Legislative Priorities

In the following area, 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 top three priorities are education, healthcare and protecting the environment. We improve education by making an education a priority with a commitment to increase per pupil spending. Expanding medicaid will improve access to health care and lower the costs for everyone. We need to return DEQ to a funding level that allows them to effectively monitor and enforce laws.
