IMPROVED RURAL ECONOMY AND MORE JOBS
To boost Cumberland County's economy and jobs, diversify industries, upgrade infrastructure, and support local entrepreneurship. Align education with industry needs, offer tax incentives for job creation, and promote tourism. Streamline development processes, encourage sustainable practices. Additionally, collaborating with the agricultural commission to explore alternative resources and promote farming in available areas can further support economic growth. It's also crucial to provide assistance and support to underserved Black/Brown farmers. Improved Rural Economy and More Jobs is OUR FIGHT!HEALTHCARE ACCESSIBILITY FOR ALL
I am dedicated to championing inclusive healthcare rights, especially for women, and advocating for equal opportunities for marginalized individuals, particularly black and brown women and those with low incomes. This commitment extends to addressing health disparities and reducing infant mortality rates. Healthcare accessibility is your right...Our Fight!
BETTER RURAL PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Public education is a critical cornerstone of societal development, yet pressing issues need attention to ensure equitable access and quality education. This comprehensive reform encompasses several key components, including fair compensation for teachers, revisiting voucher programs and their effect on the public school system, increased investments in public education, and dedicated funding for schools in rural and underserved areas. Better rural public education is your right...OUR FIGHT!
CLEAN ENVIRONMENT: Air, Soil, and Water
Every Cumberland County Citizen deserves to have clean air, soil, and water. Where this does not exist, it is our fight to correct the deficiency and to take proactive steps to preserve our environment for future generations. It is unacceptable to accept a polluted environment. The health of our children and our future is linked to a clean environment. Clean air, soil, and water is your right...OUR FIGHT!
WOMEN'S REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS
DISPARITIES IN UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES: Every woman deserves the right and freedom to decide the healthcare of her body without government legislation. We must not allow government to prescribe a woman's health and life. Also, make sure that all women are receiving the same amount of care regardless of their economic status, ethnicity, or race. Women's Reproductive Rights is OUR FIGHT!
BETTER YOUTH OPPORTUNITIES
In rural areas, there is a pressing concern regarding the limited opportunities available for youth, both in terms of recreational facilities and services. This dearth not only impacts the positive development of young individuals but also contributes to potential issues such as juvenile delinquency. Addressing this challenge requires a multifaceted approach that involves creating and enhancing recreational facilities, fostering partnerships with non-profit organizations, and optimizing school services to effectively use the time when children are both in and out of school. Better Youth Opportunities is OUR FIGHT!
COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY ADVOCACY
Holistic Advocacy for Special and Vulnerable Communities: Advocating for special and vulnerable communities, disabled citizens, our un-housed population, Veterans, senior citizens, and ensuring safety within our communities. We must provide rural sustainability and safeguard residential areas from harmful environmental impacts. It's a comprehensive approach that recognizes the interconnectedness of various issues and the need for holistic solutions. Comprehensive Community Advocacy is OUR FIGHT!
