What are the biggest challenges facing the district, and how would you address them if elected?
Just a few of our challenges are inequality in health care cost, homelessness and veterans housing, aordable housing, and infrastructure. We need to properly allocate federal funds to local organizations and initiatives, and hold them accountable for those funds, making sure they reach the people of CD-38.
The district grapples with school closures, ooding risks and declining small-business growth. We address these issues by advocating for legislation to nancially support our struggling schools; pushing for infrastructure bills to address ooding; and promoting initiatives to bring back manufacturing, support startups and provide federal grants for small businesses.
