I would like to see strengthened supports across the lifespan—pregnancy, childcare, and senior care—paired with commonsense safeguards that protect parental input in medical and school decisions. I would like to see fathers’ procedural‑fairness and shared‑parenting reforms through a bipartisan task force, targeted statutory fixes, and shared‑parenting classes with nonprofit partners. In education, I would like to see a pilot personal‑finance module, funded parent finance workshops and volunteer mentor programs, and Parent Partnership grants to protect meaningful parent advisory roles. I would like to see district mini‑grants and volunteer networks to bolster nonprofits, the arts, seniors, and youth.
I would like to see independent audits to cut waste and elimination of duplicated programs, with verified savings returned as targeted relief or one‑time rebates for seniors and working families. I would like to see regulatory reviews to remove cost‑raising burdens and streamlined permitting for housing and small businesses. For housing, I would like to see public incentives conditioned on long‑term rent‑restricted units, greater ownership transparency for dominant landlords, a small down‑payment pilot for first‑time buyers, and expanded landlord‑tenant mediation to prevent sudden rent hikes and avoidable evictions.
I would like to see lawful firearm ownership respected while public safety is enhanced through a balance of enforcement and prevention: funded community violence‑reduction programs, youth outreach, public education, tougher penalties for violent repeat offenders, and expanded mental‑health crisis response.
Have questions or suggestions? I would love to hear from you!
