What do you think are the 3 biggest challenges facing constituents?

The biggest challenges are affordability, access to healthcare, and restoring trust in government. Families are paying more for housing, groceries, and utilities while wages struggle to keep up. Rural communities face hospital closures, provider shortages, and long travel times for care. Folks also feel ignored by elected officials who answer to special interests instead of their constituents. Government should work for the people, not the other way around.
I will focus on affordability, accountability, and accessibility. That means lowering costs by addressing corporate price gouging and expanding affordable housing, protecting and improving access to healthcare, and making government more transparent and responsive. I'll hold regular town halls across the district, support campaign finance reform, and make sure every community, rural or urban, has a voice in Washington. My job will be to serve the people, not special interests.
Congress should make life more affordable by reducing prescription drug costs, expanding the supply of affordable housing through federal incentives, enforcing antitrust laws to promote competition, investing in infrastructure that creates good-paying jobs, and reforming the tax code so working families are not paying a higher share than billionaires and large corporations. Congress should put working people first and ensure the economy works for everyone.
Congress should support, not dictate, education. That means fully funding programs that help students succeed, expanding career and technical education, making college, trade schools, and apprenticeships more affordable, strengthening special education services, improving rural broadband access, and supporting teachers with the resources they need. Every student, regardless of their ZIP code, deserves the opportunity to receive a quality education and prepare for a successful future.
Data Centers are an extremely divisive topic right now. I am of the opinion that Congress should establish national standards for data centers that protect communities while supporting innovation. Operators should be transparent about energy and water use, pay the full cost of the infrastructure they require, protect consumer data and cybersecurity, and meet strong environmental standards. Communities deserve a meaningful voice before projects are approved, and the public should not subsidize private profits without clear public benefits.

Cost of living Healthcare Having their voices actually heard and represented.
I would work to ensure that the power of the purse is returned to Congress and work towards having a balanced budget.

Instead of spending money on endless wars and trade wars I propose spending that money on our healthcare system to make it more affordable while also ensuring that communities and home healthcare receive adequate funding so they can afford to pay staff. If executed properly it would be more cost efficient, especially for home health. Because patients would receive better care at home which means less hospital visits and in turn reduced cost and strain on the system.

For the past decade it has become evident that there’s a disconnect between the people and elected officials. I would have an open communication policy.
Congress should work to ensure that the power of the purse is returned to them as described in Article I of the Constitution, and work towards having a balanced budget.
