"Hey, Phoebe...."What are your three biggest priorities?"
When I think about the struggles of this world, I can get pretty overwhelmed. Can't you? There are so many things to worry about and try to fix. It honestly feels crippling sometimes.
That's when I take a deep breath and think about Teddy Roosevelt's quote, which inspired my run in the first place:
Do what you can
with what you have
where you are.
When I think about the campaign for State House, I focus in on the legislation I can impact if elected. No, I can't make Donald Trump and his Project 2025 goals go away, but I can work to ensure that the take over of the Republican Party by Free State Project agenda does not succeed here.
My priorities, then, are:
Fully funded public schools - "Public dollars for PUBLIC education"
Common sense property tax reform
Affordable housing to attract young families and keep seniors in their homes
I think of it as...
What I can do
with what I have
where I am.
