In their own words
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?
Affordable Rent for All- Creating a rental cap of 10% increase in rent year over year for those who own more than 2 houses. This is because most Alabama residents do not make an increase to their salary that is equal to 10% year over year. Meaning they are always falling behind. This will give them some breathing room,Medicaid Expansion- Community members are struggling to feed their family as in many cases they have to pick between food to keep them alive for the short term and medication to keep them alive for the long term.Increasing the minimum wage- Increasing the wage to $10 minimum currently no one in the state can live off less than 10 an hour from just one job. As such ween need to pay hard woking people enough to at least try ans survive. Along with tying the wage increase to increased rental cost so your rent doesn't further out strip the cost of rent.
