Campaign website

Holloway's campaign website stated the following:

Access to Healthcare

Access to quality healthcare is a basic human right that should not be determined by one's income. As lawmakers, we must be committed to expanding healthcare coverage, promoting preventative care initiatives, and increasing access to mental health services to ensure that every individual receives the care they need to thrive. Additionally, supporting policies that ensure universal access to reproductive healthcare, including essential services such as birth control, prenatal care, and safe, legal abortion is imperative.

Affordable Housing

Housing is a basic necessity, yet many individuals and families struggle to find affordable and safe housing options. We need initiatives that increase affordable housing stock, implement rent control measures, and provide housing assistance programs to address the housing crisis and ensure that everyone has a place to call home.

Education/Technology

Let’s advocate for legislation focused on decreasing the financial burden associated with higher education. It is imperative to prioritize investing in our nation's education system to ensure that all students have access to quality learning resources.[5]

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

“L.J.” stands for Liberty and Justice which is why I am running for the PEOPLE. As a fourth-generation

Floridian who learned the Preamble to the Constitution in Duval County Public Schools, I still believe we can form a

more perfect union. We must defend our Democracy against all threats, foreign and domestic, and my

more than 20 years of Federal experience has prepared me to do just that. As someone who genuinely

loves the PEOPLE, I have run before and I am running again because United, we win.

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?

LaShonda "L.J." Holloway for Congress campaign is PEOPLE-powered just like our Democracy. The PEOPLE of Congressional District 4 have a history of vocalizing their will despite inaction by their representatives. This is why I am running not to embody their voice but to show up to work and take ACTION on their wishes.This is not my first time running to represent the people. That is because the same issues like affordable healthcare and social security expansion that urged me to run in 2016 are the same ones that are on the ballot August 23rd. Though I have never held office, I have done the work as a Staffer for Congresswoman Carrie Meek in and my depth and breadth of Federal experience from the Cannon House Office Building to the Environmental Protection Agency has prepared me to represent the people in Washington D.C.Along the Campaign trail, supporters have come to describe my approach as the HolloWAY: engaging voters in our community and doing the work as we put the PEOPLE back in politics. If elected to represent the PEOPLE of Congressional District 4, I will continue this same method on Capitol Hill. That means answering your calls and emails, showing up to work, and taking action wherever possible.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Personally, I am passionate about the economy, access to healthcare, and affordable housing. I have experienced the shortcomings of our healthcare system while recovering from a brain tumor in 2008. This prompted me to start my own business providing healthcare advocacy, resources, and support to patients and their loved ones called All About HealthCARE Advocates. After returning home to Jacksonville, I was planning to retire, but I was appalled to see the remnants of so many unfulfilled promises. I am also personally, passionate about education and believe education should be comprehensive to include trade and technology to afford opportunities to earn a fair living wage. That is why I award educational opportunities to students through the Celebration of Life Annual Benefit which I started as an educator the goal of which is to address the disparities in healthcare.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

I believe in term limits and I promise not to exceed 12 years in office (6 two-year terms).

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

I wholeheartedly believe compromise is necessary and highly desirable for policymaking. I am of the opinion that the best solutions to today's most pressing problems come from compromise and collaboration.
