Here are the three key issues of my campaign.
Energy
“If we don’t confront our energy crisis, we are toast.”
Stewardship of earth, air and water; Competitive renewable energy jobs and local/state initiatives; Renewable energy standards, including fair net metering for local businesses, schools, farms, homeowners; Conservation and energy efficiency standards.
Health Care Reform
“Financial ruin from medical bills is almost exclusively an American disease.”
Insurance premium assistance for children and low-income families; Healthy food and exercise programs; Protection for Insurance consumers; Respect for health care practitioners’ work and wisdom; Support for and improvement upon KHPA 21-point plan.
Education
“Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.”
Leave No School Behind: Support for USD 305; Stable multi-year funding for School Districts; Early Childhood and Kindergarten available for all; Potential teacher scholarships; Legislation supporting teachers and innovation; Affordable higher education
