Main issues: The candidate on her website said she wants to work across the aisle to find common ground. “We need to act with compassion to ensure that all citizens have affordable, sustainable healthcare. Alabama missed the mark from both a healthcare and economic standpoint when we did not take advantage of the Medicaid Expansion opportunity that could have created a potential 30,000 jobs and returned millions of dollars in revenue to our economy by expanding healthcare coverage for more people.”
She also said high schools need to invest in technical training so students who do not choose to go to college graduate with the skills to be productive and self-sustaining. And she said the state needs to protect its natural resources while finding innovative ways to increase tourism revenue and boost economic development.
