- Education: “Every child deserves a quality education that prepares them for a prosperous future. Irresponsible spending and lack of accountability in public schools has a direct negative impact on the quality of education provided.”
- Economy: “The growing wealth gap is threatening our social fabric and hindering upward mobility for hardworking families. To tackle this issue, I propose a combination of policies such as options to the minimum wage allowing young and inexperienced workers to enter the work forces and the opportunity to gain valuable experience.”
