What is your political philosophy?

I hope to improve access and opportunity for those who have been left behind in the economy, invest in infrastructure, and stabilize health care. I chose to run for office because I want to take action and get off the sidelines instead of complaining about the inaction of our current representative.[2]

—Desiree Tims[1]
