Questions & Answers

1. What are the two most pressing issues you will face if you are elected? (50 word limit)

The foreclosure crisis and the worsening economy are two key issues facing voters in the first Congressional District. High gas prices, inability to access affordable quality health care and job insecurity create an economic condition that is challenging families and communities.

2. How will you address each of those issues? (100 word limit)

I will work to reduce dependency on foreign oil and making new technology a priority. We need to invest in education and higher education. I will work on a health care plan that provides quality universal health care. We need to take a comprehensive approach to the housing and foreclosure crisis by ensuring access to mortgage credit and shifting the risk that occurs in the housing market.
