Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

I'm fighting for safer and cleaner streets.. I want to repeal bail reform as the violent criminals are out in the street time and time again just to commit another crime and only time they are kept in is when someone is murdered this can all be avoided if they keep the violent criminals in jail. Also for the defendants that are stealing I would make sure they complete a detox program or rehab as they are committing crimes for their drug habit.I am fighting for affordable living some most families have to put certain items back for food cause the cost is to high or even put a bill on the side cause they don't have enough funds.Better education , unfortunately it seems like our children are dealt with not reading or writing correctly . unfortunately the children use laptops and they aren't writing in school as much as they should .
