I want to thank everyone who supported me the last 4 years. We have to keep up the good fight for our middle class and those trying to pull themselves out of poverty! My life is better for having tried! THANK YOU FROM THE DEEPEST PLACE IN MY HEART!

Thank you all for joining us for the debate.

This is OUR year! This is the year for the Blue Wave! This year we have to finish it! We have to complete OUR Blue Wave.

I have treated THIS as my full time job, I took 2018 off of work to work this campaign. When I work at the fair, I work the whole shift. I put my heart and soul and sweat into this campaign. OUR campaign. My opponent cannot say that.

My opponent claims to have "his finger on the pulse of this district." He calls our constituents THEM. He says he will go to work "for them" and "listen to THEM" Where is the "WE?" Where is the "US?" I KNOW these constituents. I have spent MORE time getting to know US.

White people of my age like to deny there is a problem with racism, blaming the black community. But the system has held black community back, we need to change this.

Medicare has no income cap. If we raise the amount we pay in to Medicare for all, the bulk of the cost will come from the wealthier. Cost? 1.45% of income& 1.45% from employers we can double this and get MORE people healthcare coverage. EVERYONE should be brought into this!

My opponent wants rural hospitals incentivized to stay open. He wants to close the gap by using people who pay for coverage already. He wants to push things through and I believe this will reduce the quality of healthcare.

I want Medicare for ALL! It will do A LOT of good things for us! It will help us end HUGE profits by hospitals and insurance companies. It is FOOLISH to just lower the age of Medicare. What does it say about us if we leave out the people of the future?

My opponent believes we need to save houses first, but if you give the people stimulus money, they will save their houses. There are already bills in the works to help save homes.

Give money to the people at the bottom! The money gets re-spent quickly and this money keeps getting re-spent. You have 175% of what you started with by the end of a year! We NEED to stimulate the consumer! We will have higher wages and they will grow faster than prices!

My opponent says small businesses need to be first in line for relief from COVID. We really need a stimulus plan given to US, OUR consumers! Consumers are 2/3 of GDP! You need to put money in the hands of consumers so you stimulate EVERY part of the economy so it will boom!

Environmental issues are NOT that partisan! EVERYONE is concerned about the environment in some way or another. We need to work across the isle to help make things happen!

The most important environmental issue to us is Line 5

Students are an investment not a cost!
