What policies do you think are most important to focus on this midterm?

“A lot of things that I think are really important right now are like women’s rights, especially with the overturning of Roe v. Wade.”

“Some things that I think are very important are like health care, health care should be a basic right for all people. Same thing with SNAP benefits and things like that.”

“I think socio-economic problems are almost more important nowadays than I think people realize.”

Why?

“My mom actually suffered a traumatic brain injury, and now lives in a care facility. But I saw some signs of our healthcare system that weren’t great and basically trying to force her living back at home because they didn’t want to pay for her medical to live in a care facility.”

Anything important to add?

“Just people need to get educated and get involved.”
