I'll make certain their voices are heard and their needs are addressed, starting on day one.Comprehensive healthcare for all. No exceptions and nobody left behind. Hard working taxpayers of Alabama should never have to fear financial ruin from a health emergency.Total government transparency. No politics. No excuses. 100% honesty and accountability for our citizens. They deserve to know the truth of what our government is...and why.
