Urban Sprawl, I will support home rule giving more power to our local municipalities.
Having universal state-run home insurance to help lower insurance premiums and cost. Better access to public transportation. With the cost of living being so high, having access to public transportation is crucial to helping our working class.
Increase early voter dates as well as send reminders to people that have been purged from voting rolls.
We need to stop the use of hazardous materials in construction of our roads.
Abortion should be legal.
Access to mental health services, never allow open carry in the state. Additionally, I would add one more resource officer for every public school.
