I have well over three, but if I was to focus on just three, it would be healthcare/mental health, education, and affordability. Healthcare has become unaffordable for most and mental health is overlook here in Minnesota. Education has been losing funding for some time and teachers are underpaid or not paid for time used in meetings or lesson planning. And affordability is a really huge problem as well with food prices, homes, and basic needs being inflated out of price range for low income and middle class families.
I feel that large corporations and high wealth households need to be taxed while in turn small businesses and farmers need more support.
I would support them all, like the MHRA. The areas of the education, judicial, employment, and housing departments single out certain races/income families based on those factors. Even sometimes in healthcare, there seems to be issues involving either race/ethics or income. These need to be addressed.
Of course I would support! Because we are made to be equal: man, woman, other genders, multiple races, we shouldn't have to keep fighting for something that should just be normal. We aren't in the 1800s or 1900s and I will support equal rights for everyone because of the simple fact that again, this should just be normal. We shouldn't have to fight for something that should be a given! So yes! I will support the adoption!
As someone who loves nature, support nature based schools, and support farmers, I would represent and assist any legislation involving clean air and water while helping prevent data centers from being built.
I will support any that doesn't require certain agencies from removing specific families. I want a safer Minnesota, but not one where it seems authoritarian.
Money like that shouldn't influence elections, it should be who the people believe in. Candidates shouldn't be allowed to "buy" their way into victory although having financial support will help out, it's shouldn't be a deciding factor.
