That’s if they’re fortunate enough to have insurance at all or to find the type of coverage they need.Unfortunately, politicians in control in Washington just don’t seem to care. Because they aren’t doing anything about it.Texas has the highest percentage of uninsured people in the country.  That includes the highest percentage of uninsured women. The highest percentage of uninsured children.I’m a grandmother of 1 and 3-year-old granddaughters, and when I think about children and mothers across this state who are being denied the care that they need, I get angry.I’m running for Congress because I believe that we need representation in Washington that will listen to us and work every day to assure that EVERY person in America has healthcare.Here are six steps we can take immediately:1. Create a public option to provide a competitive driver in the insurance marketplace and provide coverage for all.  That includes allowing all families the option to obtain Medicare coverage and provide a subsidized buy-in for those left without coverage because of Texas’ failure to expand Medicaid;2. Allow Medicare to use its muscle to negotiate the cost of prescription drug prices;3. Increase the number of rural health centers and rural insurance plans;4. Expand the number of families who receive tax breaks to pay for their plans;5. Expand the use of telemedicine and new technologies;6. Increase the focus on preventative care which will improve healthcare outcomes and drive down long term costs.EducationAs I talk to Texas families, they tell me over and over again that they are concerned about shrinking resources at their public schools; teachers that are underpaid and overworked; about a lack of affordable, quality pre-k and childcare options and the rising cost of college tuition.Unfortunately, politicians in control in Washington aren’t responding to the need to create the educated workforce that we need for tomorrow. They’re doing nothing to improve our public schools or make things easier for parents struggling to ensure their kids get access to higher education or trade schools.I’m running for Congress to be a voice for parents, students and children. I was privileged to serve as a member of the Texas Senate’s Public Education Committee, and I was proud to fight against cuts to our public schools and to fight for the needs of our students.  I will be that same partner in our nation’s Capitol, working every day to create the opportunities that our children and grandchildren deserve.\u200b:Here are seven steps I will work on immediately when I get to Washington:1. Increase funding to states and school districts to raise teacher compensation and recruit and retain a strong, diverse workforce;2. Invest in school infrastructure and resources;3. Increase funding capacity in Title I schools and ensure all students have access to academic opportunities like computer science, music, and civics;4. Meet our federal commitment to fund special education;5. Enact and fund full day, quality Pre-K for every child;6. Create affordable quality childcare for all families;7. Make public and community college free for middle and lower income families.RetirementToo many Texans are concerned that Medicare and Social Security are not going to be there when they retire. Who can blame them when they hear politicians in Washington talk openly about slashing or even eliminating these vital programs?My mom is 82-years-old. She struggled throughout her working life in a low-wage job that did not create the social security investment needed to keep her secure in her retirement years. Thankfully, my siblings and I are able to help her.  But what about all the other seniors across Texas and across the country who don’t have family support available to them?I’m running for Congress to ensure that Texans can retire with dignity after a lifetime of hard work. And I’ll work for our retirees as though they were my own mom.Here’s my pledge when I get to Washington:1. I’ll fight any attempt to cut Social Security, Medicare or the benefits retirees have earned by even a single dollar and assure that cost-of living increases are a part of these benefits, making more resources available to our retirees, not less;2. I’ll work to provide financing to put failing pension plans back on solid ground to ensure they can meet their commitments to retirees today and workers for decades to come;3. I’ll put safeguards in place so pension plans remain strong in order to be there for today’s workers when they retire.ImmigrationWe continue to face a humanitarian crisis on the border. As a mother and grandmother, it breaks my heart to see children the same age as my grandchildren, Ellis and Sawyer, being taken away from their mothers and put in freezing cold cages without access to adequate medical attention or food. That can’t be who we are as a nation. And it must stop, immediately.I’m running for Congress because we need a comprehensive solution to address immigration.Here are a few things we can do immediately:1. Pass comprehensive immigration reform that provides a pathway to citizenship for those currently living in the shadows and protects our border with effective security methods recommended by experts;2. Pass protections for Dreamers and Temporary Protected Status holders;3. Honor our nation’s asylum laws, while assigning more caseworkers and judges to speed the process;4. Assure that no one who has served our country in battle is deported after giving their all to fight for our country and its values.Gun SafetyI am heartbroken about the senseless loss of life as Texas and our nation tries to come to terms with tragic mass shootings. I am equally troubled by the proliferation of hand-gun violence, which claims the lives of far too many, whether in struggling communities, in domestic-violence incidents or in deaths by suicide.But I'm also angry. I'm angry at the inaction by Washington politicians more interested in courting the NRA than protecting the lives of the people they were elected to serve.Thoughts and prayers aren't good enough.I’m running for Congress because It's time for common-sense action to address this gun violence epidemic. I’m running because I think our kids need to go to school to learn how to think critically, not learn to hide from an active shooter.Here are things we can do immediately:1. Pass universal background checks;2. Ban the sale of military assault-style weapons and large capacity magazines;3. Ensure that known and suspected terrorists, domestic abusers and those who have been demonstrated to be a danger to themselves or others can’t get their hands on guns through the creation of red-flag laws;4. Lift the ban on academic institutions and research facilities and allow them to study the impact of gun violence on public health, providing needed resources to conduct those studies.Veterans' RightsWe have an obligation to protect our brave men and women in uniform both while on active duty and after they come home. This has always been one of my top priorities.I was proud to serve on the Veterans Affairs Committee throughout my 6 years in the Texas Senate.  As a senator, I was proud to reach across the aisle to help pass a constitutional amendment that provides tax exemptions for disabled veterans and their spouses.  I was also proud when I created a source of funding through the renewal of drivers licenses and motor vehicle registrations and co-authored the creation of a veterans’ specific lottery ticket, each of which have raised millions to support our veterans.Unfortunately, too many politicians in Washington like to pay lip service to our veterans without providing them with needed support after they’ve sacrificed so much on our collective behalf.As a member of Congress, I will work to:1. Increase investments in mental health services, disability benefits and job training;2. Expand access to small business tax credits to encourage hiring veterans;3. Increase the travel reimbursements for long distance care and increase benefits for caregivers, spouses and dependents;4. Expand critical benefits that assist with homeownership;5. Fully fund the Post 9/11 GI Bill, which provides economic and education opportunities for our service members;6. Fight the growing homelessness problem for our returning service members and ensure that no person who serves our country should ever be homeless;7. Protect funding for our military bases like Joint Base San Antonio from being raided for other purposes.Climate ChangeClimate change is a crisis that poses an existential threat to the United States and the world. Anyone who isn’t urgently working to address it is failing our responsibility to our kids and grandkids. When I think about the world we are leaving for my grandchildren to inherit, I feel an extraordinary commitment to them.  I want to be able to tell them that I did my part to assure they will live in a world that can sustain their children and grandchildren.That’s why I support aggressive action now that leads to the United States attaining carbon neutrality by at least 2050.There are those on the other side who like to talk about the economic costs of action. But we really should be talking about the costs of inaction as climate induced natural disasters like hurricanes, droughts and wildfires become increasingly commonplace.We should also be thinking about opportunities that addressing climate change can present. We can achieve the ambitious goal of carbon neutrality by ensuring that states like Texas become the leader in green technology, creating thousands of jobs that can’t be shipped overseas.Steps that can be taken immediately include:1. Restoring protections once provided through the Environmental Protection Agency that have been systematically unwound by the current presidential administration and that have left communities with little to no protections against air and water pollutants;2. Incentivizing clean energy solutions like wind, solar and geo-thermal energy;3. Providing job training for the clean energy jobs of the future;4. Re-entering the Paris Climate Accord and owning our responsibility as a country to lead the way in clean energy solutions.Economic JusticeAlmost half of Texans are struggling to pay bills each month for basics like housing, food, and childcare. That second job or extra credit card just doesn’t cover the costs anymore.I know what that feels like. I grew up poor in Texas, many times feeling like I was on the brink of financial disaster. I know what’s like not to be able to pay the light bill and to sit at home at night in the dark. I know how it feels to stand at the grocery cashier, looking over my items and deciding what to leave out because I don’t have enough money in my checking account to cover it all. I know what it feels like to make what should be one meal stretch into two or three. I know what it feels like to have a flat tire and worry that it will be what finally pushes you over the edge into financial ruin.Sometimes it feels like there’s nobody that wants to help, least of all the people elected to serve us in Washington. It’s like we don’t have a voice.That’s why I’m running for Congress. We need someone fighting every single day to create an economy that works for all of us, one that’s thinks about a family’s budget, equity and justice.That’s why my priorities in Congress will be to:1. Pass a $15 dollar an hour federal minimum wage;2. Support the Paycheck Fairness Act, which will help close the wage gap between men and women;3. Pass strong paid family leave, universal pre-K and child care to ensure fathers and mothers aren’t punished for growing their families;4. Pass strong paid sick leave so that serious illness doesn’t mean families lose their home or their jobs;5. Crack down on payday lenders taking advantage of families living paycheck to paycheck;6. Pass tax relief and increase access to credit for Texas small businesses to help them grow;7. Invest in good paying clean energy jobs in Texas that can’t be shipped overseas.8. Invest in infrastructure like roads, bridges, high speed rail and broadband.Equality for AllThe phrase “we the people” in the constitution refers to ALL of us. That’s why in Congress I will be a champion for human and civil rights, using my voice to protect and empower the LGBTQIA community.My priorities in congress will include:1. Passing the Equality Act, which will amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to end discrimination based on sexual orientation, sex and gender identity and provide critical protections on employment, housing and education.2. Working to protect public school students from bullying and harassment based on sexual orientation and gender identity.3. Working to reverse the discharge status of any member of the military discharged as a result of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.4. Amending the Fair Housing Act to explicitly provide protections for LGBT Americans.Ending the discriminatory ban on transgender service members trying to serve their country openly.[4]”—Wendy Davis' campaign website (2020)[5]", 'Wendy Davis campaign contribution historyYearOfficeStatusContributionsExpenditures2020U.S. House Texas District 21Lost general$10,428,476$10,366,8652014Texas GovernorLost$4,034,095N/A**2008Texas State Senate, District 10Won$2,184,992N/A**Grand total$16,647,563$10,366,865Sources:OpenSecrets,Federal Elections Commission***This product uses the openFEC API but is not endorsed or certified by the Federal Election Commission (FEC).** Data on expenditures is not available for this election cycleNote: Totals above reflect only availabale data.', '', "2020 ElectionsWhat's on the ballot?U.S. PresidentU.S. CongressU.S. Congress special electionsState executivesState legislaturesState courtsBallot measuresMunicipal governmentSchool boardsElection analysis hubGovernmentWho represents me?U.S. CongressState executivesState legislatorsState courtsBallot measuresMunicipal governmentSchool boardsNewslettersCoronavirus Weekly UpdatesDocumenting America's Path to RecoveryThe Heart of the PrimariesThe Daily BrewThe Weekly BrewThe Ballot BulletinChecks and BalancesEconomy and SocietyHall PassNumber of the DayRobe & GavelUnion Station", "2020 ElectionsWhat's on the ballot?U.S. PresidentU.S. CongressU.S. Congress special electionsState executivesState legislaturesState courtsBallot measuresMunicipal governmentSchool boardsElection analysis hub", '', '', 'GovernmentWho represents me?U.S. CongressState executivesState legislatorsState courtsBallot measuresMunicipal governmentSchool boards', '', '', "NewslettersCoronavirus Weekly UpdatesDocumenting America's Path to RecoveryThe Heart of the PrimariesThe Daily BrewThe Weekly BrewThe Ballot BulletinChecks and BalancesEconomy and SocietyHall PassNumber of the DayRobe & GavelUnion Station", '', '', 'Suggest a link', '', '', '↑The New York Times, "Texas’ Davis Is Expected to Enter Race for Governor," September 26, 2013↑MartinDale.com, "Wendy R.

Working, middle class, and low income Americans have been forgotten and the system no longer works for them. We need to incentivize small business expansion, invest in 21st Century infrastructure, raise the minimum wage, and support collective bargaining. We need to ensure that everyone has access to affordable, high quality healthcare. Healthcare is a right and we need to work towards single-payer, universal healthcare. But until we get there we need to support and fully fund CHIP, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and our rural health clinics. And in Colorado, the environment is our heart and our soul but it is also the foundation of our economy. We need to make sure we bring back evidence-based protections for our environment, protect our public lands, our air, water, and wildlife, and we need to invest in renewable energy.[12][13]”What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?“I\'ve always had a special place in my heart for environmental policy. In high school, two books shaped what would become my life-long passion for public service: Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring and Michael Harrington’s Other America. Carson’s book is often credited with kindling the 1970’s environmental movement by showing us how pollution disrupted the intricate web of our ecosystems, and both books spurred my love of the environment. I moved to Steamboat Springs in 1976, intending to ski for only a year while I finished up my PhD. Famously, the 1976-1977 ski season was a hundred-year drought in Colorado, which quickly immersed me in western water issues. I saw that our free-flowing Western Slope rivers are critical for our economy, our environment, and our communities. I have worked to protect our water and environment ever since.Cite error: Invalid<ref>tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[13]”Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Diane Mitsch Bush answered the following:Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow and why?“Paul Wellstone, former Senator from Minnesota, has always been a guiding light for my public service. He was a leader of the progressive movement and he truly cared about improving the lives of all people. I still sometimes refer to his famous quote, "We all do better when we all do better" when I talk to people about my vision for Colorado and this country.[13]”What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?“People often forget that elected officials are employees of citizens. I\'m running to be your employee, to listen to your needs and your concerns, to solve your problems, to champion your causes, and to work for you. This is a job interview, a long one at that, but one of the most important parts of this job is being able to listen to people so you can truly address their concern. Too many politicians have forgotten that they\'re elected officials and serve their constituents, not the other way around.[13]”What qualities do you possess that would make you a successful officeholder?“I care about data, evidence, and science when creating policy. That is the only foundation we should be building policy from; we should never create policy from ideology and that\'s one of the biggest problems with people currently in Congress. I\'m a statistician by trade and a former professor of Sociology, so I always tell people, "show me the data and I\'ll tell you what the data says". The only way to create long-term, effective policy for all of your constituents is to rely on data and evidence.[13]”What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution?“Representatives in the U.S. House come from such a variety of Districts and represent interests all across the scale, it\'s exceptionally rich in experience and policy positions. I\'ve always seen that the creation of policy that starts with gathering a wide variety of stakeholders produces the best and most effective policy. It makes sure to cover everyone\'s concern. Many people see the the existence of so many viewpoints and interests in the US House as a hindrance, but I see it as the richest foundation to create effective policy that benefits everyone. We only need people in Congress willing to listen to their colleagues and truly hear them out, and that\'s what I\'m looking to bring.[13]”Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives?“One of the problems that we face in Congress doesn\'t have to do with term length, it has to do with the length of time dedicated to campaigning. Two years is a solid amount of time to begin to make significant progress, but that two years is cut short if you have to dedicate much of your term to fundraising and campaigning. What we need is true campaign reform.[13]”Both sitting representatives and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful?“I decided to run for Congress when the current incumbent, Representative Scott Tipton, voted for this current Administration\'s American Healthcare Act. He justified his vote by saying that constituents\' premiums and deductibles will go down. That was flat wrong. Healthcare is so critical, and a Representative that either doesn\'t read a bill or grossly misrepresents what\'s in a bill shouldn\'t be a public servant in Congress. While traveling the District, I met a couple with one child. He was a construction site manager and she was a nurse. Both of these are well paying jobs and they told me that they simply couldn\'t afford their child\'s health insurance premiums without CHIP. These healthcare programs are critical for our young working families and we need a Representative that is committed to their health, their economic security, and their future.[13]”', '“Expand Economic and Educational OpportunityBalance Colorado’s budget and increase our rainy day fundMore fully fund preschool, K-12, and higher educationHelp small business grow and create jobsIncrease services for veteransProtect our EnvironmentProtect our air and water quality, wildlife habitat and public landsKeep our rivers free flowing in their basin of originEncourage energy efficiency and renewablesHelped create the nations first Public Lands Day, in ColoradoImprove our infrastructureEnsure state tax incentives for affordable housingFund highways, Safe Routes to School & keep funding for BUSTANGBring high-speed broadband services to rural areasStudy impacts of a statewide health insurance risk pool[13]”—Diane Mitsch Bush[14]', '', 'Diane Mitsch Bush campaign contribution historyYearOfficeStatusContributionsExpenditures2020U.S. House Colorado District 3Lost general$5,064,049$5,040,0142016Colorado House of Representatives, District 26Won$74,163N/A**2014Colorado State House, District 26Won$68,636N/A**2012Colorado State House, District 26Won$45,956N/A**Grand total$5,252,804$5,040,014Sources:OpenSecrets,Federal Elections Commission***This product uses the openFEC API but is not endorsed or certified by the Federal Election Commission (FEC).** Data on expenditures is not available for this election cycleNote: Totals above reflect only availabale data.', '', "2020 ElectionsWhat's on the ballot?U.S. PresidentU.S. CongressU.S. Congress special electionsState executivesState legislaturesState courtsBallot measuresMunicipal governmentSchool boardsElection analysis hubGovernmentWho represents me?U.S. CongressState executivesState legislatorsState courtsBallot measuresMunicipal governmentSchool boardsNewslettersCoronavirus Weekly UpdatesDocumenting America's Path to RecoveryThe Heart of the PrimariesThe Daily BrewThe Weekly BrewThe Ballot BulletinChecks and BalancesEconomy and SocietyHall PassNumber of the DayRobe & GavelUnion Station", "2020 ElectionsWhat's on the ballot?U.S. PresidentU.S. CongressU.S. Congress special electionsState executivesState legislaturesState courtsBallot measuresMunicipal governmentSchool boardsElection analysis hub", '', '', 'GovernmentWho represents me?U.S. CongressState executivesState legislatorsState courtsBallot measuresMunicipal governmentSchool boards', '', '', "NewslettersCoronavirus Weekly UpdatesDocumenting America's Path to RecoveryThe Heart of the PrimariesThe Daily BrewThe Weekly BrewThe Ballot BulletinChecks and BalancesEconomy and SocietyHall PassNumber of the DayRobe & GavelUnion Station", '', '', 'Suggest a link', '', '', '↑1.01.1dianeforcolorado.com, "About Diane," accessed October 18, 2012↑Colorado Secretary of State, "General election candidates," accessed August 16, 2016↑Colorado Secretary of State, "2016 General Election results," accessed December 14, 2016↑4.04.1Colorado Secretary of State, "2016 Primary Election Candidate List," accessed May 3, 2016↑5.05.1Colorado Secretary of State, "June 28, 2016 Primary Election," accessed August 22, 2016↑Colorado Secretary of State, "Official primary candidate list," accessed May 1, 2014↑Colorado Secretary of State, "Official primary election results," accessed June 25, 2014↑Colorado Secretary of State, "Official general election candidate list," accessed July 23, 2014↑Colorado Secretary of State, "Official general election results," accessed December 5, 2014↑Colorado Secretary of State, "Official 2012 Primary election results," accessed April 14, 2014↑Note: The candidate\'s answers have been reproduced here verbatim without edits or corrections by Ballotpedia.↑Ballotpedia\'s candidate survey, "Diane Mitsch Bush\'s responses," August 19, 2018↑13.013.113.213.313.413.513.613.713.8Note: This text is quoted verbatim from the original source.

When she was eleven years old, her mother Marie started to lose her memory. When Marie got lost driving, Kathleen rode her bike out to find her and help her get home. Marie was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s. Kathleen and her father were her caregivers for the next seven years.Kathleen personally knows what a healthcare crisis can do to a family. Fixing our broken healthcare system is her top priority.The ACA individual market is absolutely broken. Montanans are paying tens of thousands of dollars in premiums and deductibles before they even receive any service. That’s bankruptcy potential for Montana families.Kathleen is the only candidate for Congress with a detailed, achievable plan to immediately reduce costs for Montanans. Her plan will stabilize the individual market and move to truly universal coverage. She will fight for the following:Reinstating payments to insurers and individuals to keep the cost of individual plans down.Making CHIP and the federal rural health center fund a permanent part of our healthcare system, not political footballs that get renewed every two or six years.Lifting the restriction that prevents Medicare from bargaining for drug prices, allowing it to lower consumer costs through price negotiations, like Medicaid and the VA can do today.Allowing people 55 and older to buy into Medicare, setting the stage to transform our healthcare system in a cost-effective, achievable way.Devoting federal resources to combating the methamphetamine and opioid crisis.Protecting Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. Those are non-negotiable.In the Montana Legislature  Kathleen had success on difficult healthcare issues. She crafted a law requiring insurers to make life-saving cancer treatment affordable. It took four years, it was tough, but it saved lives. That’s toughness and experience that money can’t buy. Only Kathleen can bring that record to Congress and fix our broken healthcare system.A FAIR TAX CODEKathleen understands that tax policy must be progressive and address the increasing income disparity in Montana and across the country. In the Montana Legislature, Kathleen served as Vice Chair of the House Taxation Committee.  She was one of the first legislators to discuss income inequality and its implications for the state tax code. She laid the groundwork for the state Earned Income Tax Credit, which provides supplemental income for 80,000 low-income Montana families.Federal tax policy is moving in the wrong direction, starting with the disastrous tax bill Representative Greg Gianforte championed. The process was completely broken: no public hearings, handwritten amendments, and representatives voting without having read the bill. The outcomes are even worse. Gianforte and his allies ballooned the federal deficit by over $1.8 trillion to pay for a tax cut for corporate shareholders and wealthy special interests, and provided little benefit to everyday Montanans.In Congress, Kathleen will:Limit the damage of the tax bill. Greg Gianforte’s first piece of legislation was a bill stipulating that Congress should not get paid unless it passes a balanced budget. A few months later, he voted to increase the debt by over $1.8 trillion. Now, as he once again calls for a balanced budget, he turns to earned benefits like Medicare and Social Security to try to find savings. Kathleen will never vote to cut Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security, ever.Fix and simplify the tax bill by restoring progressive taxes to the federal code and fixing mistakes resulting from hasty passage of the bill. Many experts say our tax code is on track to become a system where anyone can avoid paying any taxes if their CPA were sufficiently familiar with all the loopholes. That’s not fair and certainly not progress.Ensure the federal tax policy process acknowledges increasing income disparity and works to fix it, not exacerbate it.REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTSKathleen believes both access to affordable contraception and proper education on its use should be protected and expanded. Schools should teach scientifically based sex education. She believes we must further support women and families by supporting affordable daycare, healthcare, and programs to reduce poverty and domestic violence.Kathleen proudly supports a woman’s right to choose. She opposes the ridiculous war on Planned Parenthood. Early in Kathleen’s career Planned Parenthood was her primary health provider. In Congress, she will fight any bill that tries to restrict access to a woman’s constitutional right to abortion or make the process burdensome.Kathleen’s stances on this issue are rooted in fundamental truths that should be bipartisan. First, the best way to prevent unplanned pregnancy is through science-based education, family planning, and access to birth control. Second, this fight is not solely about reproductive rights, but about the position of women in society and their ability to make their own decisions.EQUAL PAY FOR EQUAL WORKKathleen supports equal pay for equal work. In Montana, a woman makes 73 cents on the dollar for the same work as a man, the fourth worst ratio in the nation. This problem is particularly acute in farming, fishing, and forestry -- industries that are crucial to the economic fabric of Montana and ones that are close to Kathleen’s heart as a sportswoman and conservationist.The foundation for federally mandated equal pay exists, but it must be improved upon. While the Equal Pay Act of 1963 lays out the principle that people must be paid the same amount for the same work, federal courts have interpreted “equal work” so narrowly that an equal pay case can only be won if a man and woman have almost the exact same job. This is a situation where Congress must step in and modify the statute to clarify and make the requirements workable.Equal pay challenges will not be successful as long as women fear retaliation for coming forward. Congress should protect women who demand equal pay from retribution by their employers.Ultimately, equal pay is both a basic fairness issue and a family issue. Single mothers and women who are the primary earners in a household suffer most when they are treated unfairly, especially in part-time or minimum wage jobs. Kathleen strongly supports a living wage which will lift up hard working women and ensure that they can provide for their families.Kathleen will fervently fight for these issues because she has experienced the injustice of inequality that women face.PROTECTING MONTANA’S NATURAL HERITAGEKathleen has loved the outdoors since she was a small child. It’s her sanctuary, where she gets her renewal. Throughout her 35-year career in outdoor recreation and natural resources, Kathleen has brokered win-win solutions to thorny issues across a variety of landscapes, stakeholder interests, and issues. During her legislative service, she stood up to nefarious proposals that would have weakened our environmental protections and transferred public lands.As a former employee of public land agencies, she knows how they work and can operate in a creative, bipartisan way to protection their ability to achieve their missions.Specific proposals include:Support Senator Tester’s Forest Jobs and Recreation Act, the Blackfoot-Clearwater Stewardship Act, the East Rosebud Wild & Scenic designation, and the Yellowstone Gateway Protection Act.Oppose unaffordable entrance fees at our national parks, so that our outdoor legacy remains accessible to all of us and our children.Oppose Senator Daines’ and Rep. Gianforte’s bills to release Wilderness Study Areas by legislative fiat, rather than through public processes like forest plan revisions.Kathleen is the only candidate with extensive policy experience in public lands and natural resources. She was a strong conservation voice on the House Natural Resources Committee and the Montana Environmental Quality Council. She vice-chaired the Water Policy Interim Committee. She also served for years on the Board of the Greater Gallatin Watershed Council and DEQ’s Water Pollution Control Advisory Council.She will hit the ground running in DC to reinstate and protect crucial environmental protections that have been rolled back or threatened by this Administration.ADDRESSING CLIMATE CHANGEMontana’s new reality is hotter, drier, longer summers, earlier runoff, and more intense wildfire seasons. We are also experiencing aggravated forest health issues and longer and more intense fire seasons. Last year’s historic wildfires burned nearly 1,000,000 acres in Montana, cost the state $53.7 million in direct expenditures and $300 million total. Two firefighters lost their lives.As an expert in water planning and policy, Kathleen has seen the effects of climate change first hand and has worked to address them. She has spent much of her career brokering win-win-win solutions for senior water right holders, irrigators, and Montana’s rivers.In Congress, Kathleen will:Work with groups like the bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus to agree on common-sense measures that cut greenhouse gas emissions and bolster economic growth.Work with the agricultural community on innovative soil carbon storage to mitigate the risks of climate change.Ensure disaster relief programs work to build resiliency, rather than just rebuild infrastructure that isn\'t suited to a changing climate.Push to rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement, and support the “we’re still in” movement by cities and states to continue commitments to address and reverse climate change.Consider a carbon tax or fee system that internalizes the environmental costs of fossil fuels.Kathleen worked to advance alternative energy legislation and projects in the state Legislature. She is personally committed to moving away from fossil fuels, having installed solar panels on her home. She drives a plug-in hybrid.These personal choices matter, but national action is still needed. In Congress, Kathleen will consider any reasonable proposal that reduces our greenhouse gas emissions in an efficient, cost-effective way.CREATING HIGH-PAYING JOBSKathleen was first elected to the Legislature during the Great Recession. She quickly built a reputation for defending Montana’s small businesses and creating jobs. Kathleen was honored by the Montana Chamber of Commerce for advancing creative business ideas that diversified Montana’s economy.She strongly values supporting farmers and ranchers who choose to stay on their land, and keeping their land productive. One of her biggest successes was passing Montana’s cottage food bill, which allowed the production and sale of certain products made in a home kitchen. This bill created hundreds of new businesses and thousands of new Montana products in just two years.To create and retain jobs, Kathleen will:Protect the National Labor Relations Act and fight pernicious (and mischaracterized) “right to work” legislation that would undermine wages and benefits for so many Montanans.Maintain economic development funds, including the Rural Development program in the Farm Bill, that support our economic strategists and momentum across the state, whether at the tribal, federal, state, or local levels.Correct the recent tax bill and ensure the tax code benefits middle class and working Americans, who spend their money locally, trickling up to make the economy stronger.Support public education at every turn, and work on innovative education models such as high school technical training and two-year college programs, as well as union and other apprenticeships that give Montanans cost-effective training for the jobs of the future.Advance renewable energy. The industry fosters many small businesses, well-paying jobs, and helps us advance the ability to combat climate change.Repair healthcare. The healthcare sector will continue to grow in Montana; we need to ensure an adequate workforce that allows us all to receive care in our own communities. Healthcare costs can be crushing for business, and many who would start a business are hesitant to leave their current jobs if those jobs provide health care coverage for their families.OPPORTUNITY THROUGH PUBLIC EDUCATIONKathleen is the proud product of public schools: K-12 and degrees from two land grant universities. When it comes to education, it’s simple: Kathleen will make sure that needed federal funds go to public schools. Public schools are the great equalizer in America; their resources should not be siphoned off to pay for private education.Public education in Montana and across America is also threatened by Betsy DeVos and her efforts to privatize education and remove student protections. In Congress, Kathleen will exercise her oversight authorities to fight for the following:Federal programs that identify and address discrimination and segregation in public education.Transparent, fair, and affordable federal student grants and loans.Fulfilling federal special education funding commitments to state and local governments. These funds are critical for special education and allow school districts to spend their limited resources elsewhere.Year after year in the Montana Legislature, Kathleen stood proudly on the side of public education. The MEA-MFT awarded her a perfect legislative rating for her advocacy for students and teachers.AGRICULTURE AND RURAL JOBSMontana deserves a member of Congress who will deal comprehensively with issues facing rural Montana. We need to support our farmers, ranchers, and our rural communities.Kathleen will oppose reckless trade wars that harm Montana’s agricultural economy. She will support free, fair, and consistent trade policies that open the world to Montana’s best-in-class products, and programs that advance value-added products and income diversification.In Congress, Kathleen will represent all of Montana. She will:Fight for a Farm Bill that works for Montana, one that protects key safety nets, and conservation and rural development programs.Ensure Congress is committed to building rural broadband and fueling economic diversity across Montana.Fight for consistent federal funding for health care services and facilities that make sense in rural Montana, which create jobs and keep Montanans healthy.Make sure we can retire with dignity, by protecting Medicare and Social Security no matter what.Kathleen has traveled from Superior to Ekalaka, listening to the hopes, struggles, and dreams of Montanans on their farms, on their ranches, and in their towns. In April, Kathleen launched her Montana Opportunity Tour, a 1,044-mile tour of Montana in her truck camper, where she spoke about fostering opportunity with Montanans in Anaconda, Choteau, Browning, Cut Bank, Havre, Rocky Boy, Malta, Glasgow, Wolf Point, Scobey, Plentywood, Sidney, Glendive, Miles City, and in communities and homes in between. She will continue continue to seek out and listen to Montanans across the state, during the campaign and in Congress.WORKING WITH, AND FOR, MONTANA\'S TRIBESFirst and foremost, we must respect tribal sovereignty and ensure federal policy incorporates tribal interests. Too often, our government makes misguided policy on behalf of our Native communities without including them in the process.Montana’s reservations far too often lack opportunities available in other parts of the state. Kathleen will work with tribal representatives to address the intertwined issues of poverty, jobs, wages, and education on our reservations. She also understands that we must confront addiction, suicide, and domestic violence head on. While economic opportunity must be the starting point, these issues demand their own solutions.Kathleen has a detailed plan for Indian Country, developed alongside leaders on Montana\'s reservations and in our urban Indian communities.FIGHTING FOR LGBTQIA+ RIGHTS AND NON-DISCRIMINATIONGovernment should never sanction discrimination. In Congress, Kathleen will stand with the LGBTQIA+ community in Montana and tirelessly fight discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.Kathleen has a record of winning these fights. The day before Indiana adopted their "religious freedom" bill, an even worse version came up for a floor vote in the Montana House. The bill would have prohibited any state or local law or policy from “burdening” religious freedom without providing a compelling interest that it couldn’t be achieved any other way. It was sweeping, dangerous legislation.Kathleen was the last person to speak on the House floor that day, and she spoke vehemently against the bill. Her speech noted that “religion” wasn’t defined, except for a “sincerely held belief” and that limiting protections of fundamental rights under the guise of religious freedom would open the floodgates. Her colleagues knew Kathleen’s husband had recently spent time in Iraq. She argued that the world was at war with religious extremists, and that this bill would have fostered extremism at home in Montana. The bill then failed in a tie vote, despite being a 59-41 Republican House.Kathleen isn’t scared to call out discrimination and extremism. She uses arguments that work, and sways her colleagues across the aisle. That’s what we need in Washington to defend equal rights for everyone.To heal our nation, we need a member of Congress with policy chops, that both knows how to lay the groundwork for successful policy change, and how to craft it. Someone who truly represents you and seeks your best interest, not their own. Together, we can heal our nation and ensure Washington works for us not against us.FOSTERING A PEACEFUL WORLDOur national security is dependent on a stable, peaceful world. As the daughter of a WWII veteran and wife of a Vietnam-era veteran who went to Iraq as a civilian in 2009 to help rebuild their agricultural sector, Kathleen is deeply committed to advancing peace in the world.Kathleen believes Congress must reassert itself in foreign policy. With this Administration in the lead, we have an incoherent, unstable, and confusing approach to international affairs that is dangerous and has damaged America’s reputation across the world.We need Congress to fund and staff our diplomatic corps, take responsibility for effective roles in alliances and international institutions, and broadcast a consistent message to the world on where the United States stands on foreign policy and what can be expected of us. We need to minimize conflict where we can and not needlessly risk the lives and limbs of our service members. At a time when so many Montana families are already strained, peace is simply the most economically effective defense program we can have.PROTECTING SCHOOLS FROM GUN MASSACRESKathleen has the courage to say enough is enough; it’s time to do something about the all-too-frequent massacres in our schools.On the campaign trail, Kathleen has talked to teachers, school staff, and students who are afraid to go to work or go to school because they don’t know if they’ll come back alive. One teacher got into an argument with a parent at a parent-teacher conference, and left school because she thought he might come back with a gun.Kathleen’s family has shotguns and rifles, but they never felt the need to own an AR-15. Military-style rifles need to be confined to controlled environments, like machine guns are today. We also must regulate bump stocks and ensure our background check system keeps guns out of the hands of people who should not own them.Kathleen supports the Second Amendment. She is a gun owner. But four courts have declined to extend Second Amendment protections to military-style weapons. These are firearms designed to kill and maim quickly and broadly, not hunting equipment or for self-defense.Guns factor into domestic violence deaths. Bozeman recently witnessed gruesome murders where former partners hunted women down and shot them in their homes. Federal law protecting women from such gun violence is arbitrarily limited. The law needs to be extended to include violence committed by dating partners. Individuals killed by current dating partners make up almost half of all spouse and partner homicides. Existing federal law should also apply to convicted stalkers and others subject to a protective order. Abused husbands, parents, and siblings must also be protected.In the Montana Legislature, Kathleen voted against bills that would have deregulated guns on college campuses and allowed people to carry guns in all bars, restaurants, and churches.

As your Congressman, I will fight for lower costs, increased access, and higher quality care. Doctors, not Washington bureaucrats, should make decisions about your health. Free market based healthcare options will help families choose their best health care needs at an affordable price.I will fight to make sure that our seniors have access to most modern medical treatment and benefits, including preventive care and prescription drug coverage. We must work to ensure that Medicare’s fiscal footing is sound for future generations.Drug PricingU.S. prescription drug costs are the highest in the developed world because most other countries negotiate pricing directly with manufacturers. With Medicare’s 57 million plus beneficiaries, we are in the driver’s seat to negotiate needed leverage to reduce the cost of prescription drugs.We need to allow more affordable prescription drugs to be imported. The prices of brand name drugs are much higher in the United States than other developed countries. A free market that allows the safe and legal importation of affordable prescription drugs would create a competitive environment, pressuring drug companies to lower consumer’s price.LifeDale is 100% pro-life and has always been an advocate for the unborn. As a father of 6 and grandfather of 14, Dale truly understands how precious life is.Military & VeteransSince the founding of our Nation, we have relied on the strength of our military’s men and women who have served so courageously protecting us from enemies from every corner of the world that believe in taking away our most cherished value as Americans- freedom. These millions of volunteers have answered the call of duty so that we may live in freedom. As your Congressman, I will honor their courage, dedication, and sacrifice by providing the resources necessary to take care of our service members on the battlefield and our veterans who return home from battle.2nd Amendment and Maine's Outdoor HeritageFor over 50 years, I’ve been enjoying Maine’s great outdoors. There is no place I’d rather be then out among Maine’s beauty. When it comes to our outdoor heritage and 2nd amendment rights, I don’t just talk the talk. During my time on the Legislature’s Inland Fisheries and Wildlife Committee and as a Board Member for the Sportsman’s Alliance of Maine, I have led the effort to ensure all Mainers have the right to bear arms for sport, recreation, collection and personal protection. I have worked to ensure that Maine’s beauty and outdoor heritage is preserved.Our rights are under attack every day in Washington. The radical left is reaching into your gun safe with every chance they get. As your Congressman, I will fight for all American’s second amendment rights. We must all remember that when it comes to the right to bear arms, the second protects the first.WorkforceAs your Congressman, I will use my experience as an employer to develop workforce development training initiatives that prepare American’s current and future workforce with the skills necessary to fill those jobs that deliver higher paychecks. In order to keep America’s economy growing, we must ensure that we have a skilled, reliable workforce. With America’s economy thriving, we are presented with more opportunities for American workers, but also a challenge for employers to find workers with specific skill sets to fill the increasing number of open jobs.ImmigrationWelcoming new citizens into the United States strengthens our society and broadens our ability to accomplish great things. However, any sovereign nation has a right and an obligation to protect its borders from those who enter illegally. In order to reduce the number of illegal immigrants in our country, we first must enforce the laws that already exist. Illegal immigration puts our national and economic security at risk. For too long politicians in Washington D.C. have talked about immigration reform and streamlining the process that provides a legal and appropriate path to citizenship.We must work to strengthen and reform our immigration laws, making them more effective and efficient. In order to do this, we must secure our border by building a physical wall, as well as, electronic surveillance. We should also ensure that illegal immigrants are not receiving any of the benefits that belong to American citizens.The EconomyWhen the economy is strong, everyone wins.The economy is the driving force of what will keep America great for generations to come. With a strong economy, unemployment rates plummet, employers hire workers and increase wages, education spending is expanded, charitable giving increases, and America’s military might remain unquestioned.As the only business owner in this race, I have the experience to go to Washington and partner with President Trump to continue lowering taxes, reducing burdensome regulations, and growing our economy.TaxesWhile serving in the State Legislature, I worked alongside Governor LePage to pass the largest tax cut in Maine history, removing 70,000 of the lowest income Mainers completely from the tax rolls and creating economic prosperity in Maine that has lasted through today. The 2011 tax cuts helped Maine workers lead the nation in wage growth from 2013 through 2015 and led to the longest sustained period of record low unemployment in the state’s history.As your Congressman, I will support lowering taxes for all Americans. I will fight to ensure your money stays in your pocket, because leaving money in people’s pockets is the best way for government to help those in need. As a businessman, I understand that lower corporate taxes means an increased ability to build your business, expand your workforce, and reward your employees for their hard work.EnergyAmerica has been blessed with abundant natural resources. Because of free markets and free people, we have been able to harness those natural resources to provide energy to our homes and businesses. Because energy is priced on a second by second basis, we must be able to alternate between power sources quickly to get the best possible price.As your Congressman, I will be a reliable vote and voice for the lowest priced energy source.Not favoring one energy source or another, but, in short, advocating for a free market approach to energy production and purchasing. We should not be picking winners or losers when it comes to energy.Affordable, reliable energy makes our lives–and our economy–better. It keeps our bills low, keeps jobs here at home, and keeps us secure in a dangerous world.[15]”—Dale Crafts' campaign website (2020)[16]", 'Dale Crafts campaign contribution historyYearOfficeStatusContributionsExpenditures2020U.S. House Maine District 2Lost general$1,283,275$1,279,5872014Maine House of Representatives, District 56Won$2,515N/A**2012Maine State House, District 104Won$2,850N/A**2010Maine State House, District 104Won$5,042N/A**2008Maine State House, District 104Won$5,107N/A**1998Maine State House, District 84Lost$6,235N/A**** Data on expenditures is not available for this election cycleNote: Totals above reflect only availabale data.', 'Contents1Committee assignments1.12015 legislative session1.22013-20141.32011-20121.42009-20102Sponsored legislation3Elections3.120203.220163.320143.420123.520103.620084Campaign themes4.120204.1.1Campaign website5Campaign finance summary62016 Republican National Convention6.1Delegate rules6.2Maine caucus results6.3Delegate allocation7See also8External links9Footnotes', 'Contents1Committee assignments1.12015 legislative session1.22013-20141.32011-20121.42009-20102Sponsored legislation3Elections3.120203.220163.320143.420123.520103.620084Campaign themes4.120204.1.1Campaign website5Campaign finance summary62016 Republican National Convention6.1Delegate rules6.2Maine caucus results6.3Delegate allocation7See also8External links9Footnotes', 'Contents', '', '', "2020 ElectionsWhat's on the ballot?U.S. PresidentU.S. CongressU.S. Congress special electionsState executivesState legislaturesState courtsBallot measuresMunicipal governmentSchool boardsElection analysis hubGovernmentWho represents me?U.S. CongressState executivesState legislatorsState courtsBallot measuresMunicipal governmentSchool boardsNewslettersCoronavirus Weekly UpdatesDocumenting America's Path to RecoveryThe Heart of the PrimariesThe Daily BrewThe Weekly BrewThe Ballot BulletinChecks and BalancesEconomy and SocietyHall PassNumber of the DayRobe & GavelUnion Station", "2020 ElectionsWhat's on the ballot?U.S. PresidentU.S. CongressU.S. Congress special electionsState executivesState legislaturesState courtsBallot measuresMunicipal governmentSchool boardsElection analysis hub", '', '', 'GovernmentWho represents me?U.S. CongressState executivesState legislatorsState courtsBallot measuresMunicipal governmentSchool boards', '', '', "NewslettersCoronavirus Weekly UpdatesDocumenting America's Path to RecoveryThe Heart of the PrimariesThe Daily BrewThe Weekly BrewThe Ballot BulletinChecks and BalancesEconomy and SocietyHall PassNumber of the DayRobe & GavelUnion Station", '', '', 'Suggest a link', '', '', '↑Politics1.com, "Maine," archived December 31, 2015↑Maine Secretary of State, "2016 Election Results," accessed December 20, 2016↑3.03.1Maine Secretary of State, "List of Candidates who have filed for the June 14, 2016 Primary Election," accessed March 20, 2016↑4.04.1Maine Secretary of State, "Tabulations for Primary Elections held on June 14, 2016," accessed August 11, 2016↑Bureau of Corporations, Elections & Commissions, "List of Primary Candidates," accessed May 8, 2014↑Bureau of Corporations, Elections & Commissions, "List of Non-Party Candidates," accessed June 2, 2014↑Bureau of Corporations, Elections & Commissions, "Primary Election - June 10, 2014," accessed December 5, 2014↑Bureau of Corporations, Elections & Commissions, "General Election - November 4, 2014," accessed December 5, 2014↑Maine Secretary of State,"2012 Candidate List," accessed May 14, 2012↑Maine Secretary of State, "Tabulations for Elections held in 2012," accessed March 19, 2014↑Maine Bureau of Corporations, Elections & Commissions, "Official 2010 Election Results," accessed February 18, 2014↑Official Maine Election Results, 2010↑Maine Bureau of Corporations, Elections & Commissions, "Official 2008 State House Election Results," accessed February 18, 2014↑Follow the Money\'s report on Crafts\' 2008 campaign contributions↑Note: This text is quoted verbatim from the original source.

We must continue to level the playing field by increasing access to quality care and lowering costs for everyone. Brad will fight to preserve Medicare, invest in rural health care infrastructure, protect individuals with pre-existing conditions, and lower prescription drug costs.Brad knows that we have no time to waste when it comes to healthy communities.That’s why Brad has introduced legislation in the State Senate to create Wisconsin’s first-ever Office of Prescription Drug Affordability.ROBUST INFRASTRUCTUREAfter years of cutbacks and underfunding, it’s time to invest in our water infrastructure, fix our roads, and get back to building things. Brad knows the best way to jumpstart economic recovery is by getting people back to work and pursuing more sustainable revenue sources to improve public infrastructure.In Congress, Brad will support additional funding to improve our transportation network, fix national highways, and repair Wisconsin’s bridges and public infrastructure.BROADBANDSlow or non-existent internet has become a fact of life for too many rural residents. It needs to become a thing of the past, and Brad won’t stop until we fix it.As a member of Governor Evers Taskforce on Broadband Access, Brad worked hard to bridge the rural-urban divide by successfully advocating for a $129 million investment broadband expansion—the largest in state history.In Congress, Brad will use his passion and breadth of knowledge on this issue to leave politics at the door and help bring reliable internet to rural communities across the country.SENIORSEvery working family wants to give their parents, godparents, and elders the help they need to retire with dignity and comfort. Brad will support eldercare providers and seniors and work to make sure nobody gets priced out of essential services like at-home care our nursing home residency.He also knows that investing in the Care Economy creates new economic opportunities for working families. When a new facility can open, or an existing one can expand—we create good-paying jobs.Brad will support efforts to ensure nurses, administrators, and care staff have the resources they need to succeed.STRONG ECONOMYToo many Wisconsin families are struggling to make ends meet. It’s time to reevaluate corporate tax breaks, level the playing field, and provide greater economic opportunities for working families.Brad is committed to making childcare more affordable, raising worker wages, expanding workplace flexibilities, and strengthening family medical leave protections so that everyone who works hard can get ahead.EDUCATIONExcellent education is a cornerstone to Wisconsin’s success. Brad believes that everyone deserves access to a high-quality education from childcare and 4K to high school and post-secondary. After years of cuts, he understands that we need to restore Wisconsin’s position as a leader in education. Brad will work hard in Congress to strengthen our local schools, retain quality teachers, and invest in modern facilities.The Third Congressional District is fortunate to have 14 best-in-class colleges and universities. However, Brad knows that for students to unlock their full potential, they can’t be discouraged by a mountain of debt.So he will find solutions to tackle the debt crisis, decrease the cost of education, and level the barriers to entry for people of all backgrounds.FAMILY FARMSGrowing up on a farm, Brad learned at a young age that when times are tough, you pull together as a family and as neighbors, and you move forward – Together. Agriculture is more than just a farmer’s business; it’s a supply chain that employs one out of every nine people in Wisconsin and serves as the bedrock for local economies across the state.Brad knows that farmers are the backbone of our state. But, unfortunately, we are losing too many.So, as your Congressman, he will use his breadth of experience in agriculture to create new market opportunities, increase research and development capabilities, and invest in our rural infrastructure.CLEAN AIR, LAND & WATERWisconsin has an opportunity to become a leader in conservation efforts, prevent water contamination, reduce carbon emissions, and lessen the impact of climate change. Brad is committed to restoring environmental protections, investing in sustainable energy production, and pursuing long-term sustainability solutions to ensure access to clean air, land, and water for generations to come.VOTING RIGHTSVoters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Brad will support legislation to ensure fair elections, restore voting rights, end gerrymandering, and create a transparent, non-partisan redistricting process. He will also work to protect voting access, including vote-at-home systems like vote-by-mail and early voting.VETERANSThe men and women who serve our country honorably deserve our support abroad and when they come home. Brad will work to ensure that veterans get efficient, state-of-the-art healthcare through the VA, access to family-supporting jobs that will benefit from their leadership experience, and GI funds to pursue higher education.[3]”—Brad Pfaff's campaign website (2022)[4]", '', 'Brad Pfaff campaign contribution historyYearOfficeStatusContributionsExpenditures2024*Wisconsin State Senate District 32On the Ballot general$146,726$84,1362022U.S. House Wisconsin District 3Lost general$1,890,261$1,873,2932020Wisconsin State Senate District 32Won general$1,592,999N/A**Grand total$3,629,986$1,957,429Sources:OpenSecrets,Federal Elections Commission***This product uses the openFEC API but is not endorsed or certified by the Federal Election Commission (FEC).* Data from this year may not be complete** Data on expenditures is not available for this election cycleNote: Totals above reflect only availabale data.', '', "2024 ElectionsWhat's on the ballot?U.S. PresidentU.S. CongressU.S. Congress special electionsState executivesState legislaturesState courtsBallot measuresMunicipal governmentSchool boardsElection analysis hubGovernmentWho represents me?U.S. CongressState executivesState legislatorsState courtsBallot measuresMunicipal governmentSchool boardsNewslettersThe Daily BrewThe Weekly BrewThe Ballot BulletinChecks and BalancesEconomy and SocietyHall PassNumber of the DayRobe & Gavel", "2024 ElectionsWhat's on the ballot?U.S. PresidentU.S. CongressU.S. Congress special electionsState executivesState legislaturesState courtsBallot measuresMunicipal governmentSchool boardsElection analysis hub", '', '', 'GovernmentWho represents me?U.S. CongressState executivesState legislatorsState courtsBallot measuresMunicipal governmentSchool boards', '', '', 'NewslettersThe Daily BrewThe Weekly BrewThe Ballot BulletinChecks and BalancesEconomy and SocietyHall PassNumber of the DayRobe & Gavel', '', '', 'Search Google News for this topic', 'CandidateWisconsin State Senate District 32WebsiteFacebookTwitterInstagramYouTubeOfficeholderWisconsin State Senate District 32WebsiteFacebookTwitterInstagramPersonalInstagramLinkedIn', '↑1.01.11.2Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection,"Leadership," accessed January 30, 2019↑APG Wisconsin,"Senate Republicans vote to fire Ag Secretary Brad Pfaff," November 7, 2019↑Note: This text is quoted verbatim from the original source.

Better jobs in our communities. More money in your pocket.My top priority as your Congresswoman will always be the economy first – leading conversations and driving policy solutions that will keep our regional economy vibrant and strong. That starts with tackling inflation, lowering taxes for middle class families and small business owners, and creating more good-paying jobs.As the daughter of a factory welder, I intimately understand the importance of a good job with solid wages and benefits to care for a family. From my time in the small business and non-profit sectors, I know the struggles of meeting payroll, the challenges of a lack of access to capital, and the weight of certain regulations that can hinder our creative spirit and threaten our ability to succeed. As a former state legislator, city councilmember, and congressional staff member, I have experience navigating every level of government and understanding exactly where informed engagement and persistence can deliver the best results for an economy that benefits us all.My job is to engage in hyper-local conversations at every level of business and government to understand how best to champion our First District needs in Washington, DC – within the Congressional legislative process as well as interactions with federal agencies whose regulatory and grant-making decisions have vast impacts on our local economies. It matters that we have our voices represented at the federal decision tables and that we elect a fierce advocate to make sure we are competitive, innovative, and successful. It’s time we “Score More for the Shore” and Harford and Baltimore Counties.Over the course of 2021, I conducted a range of economic development meetings, tours, and roundtable conversations with experts and stakeholders in our communities to better understand our area’s economic strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, and to formulate this federal economic strategy that is tailored to our region.This is not a spending plan. Most of EconomyFirst is a blueprint of how I will ensure the First District gets its share of money that Congress is already allocating.Relentlessly pursuing federal funding opportunities provides a stimulant to partner with and to unleash the job-creating potential of organizations, institutions, and private sector and industry investments in our region.The plan is largely not reliant on new spending – and in the cases where I am calling for targeted new investments, those will be more than paid for by closing tax loopholes for large corporations and asking individuals who make more than $400K annually to pay the same rates they were paying before the 2017 Trump tax cuts went into effect. Any excess revenue created by asking the wealthiest among us to pay their fair share should be used to reduce the deficit.In the state legislature, I served on the House budget committee under Appropriations Chairman Norm Conway (Wicomico & Worcester). Delegate Conway always stressed our Eastern Shore budget values of being “socially responsible and fiscally prudent.” EconomyFirst is a reflection of that philosophy.Here is my plan:1. Reining in Inflation and Lowering CostsAddress the inflation that is raising everyday costs for working families.The pandemic economy has been anything but predictable. Inflation is hurting all of us. My EconomyFirst plan is a roadmap of my priorities: how I will work in Congress to ease financial burdens for families and businesses, boost earnings, close the worker shortage gap, lower regulatory burdens, address the supply chain challenges, and rein in rising inflation that eats away at our wage gains.The U.S. economy added nearly seven million jobs in 2021 and has seen average earnings climb by 5.7 percent; however, with inflation rising faster than at any point in the past 40 years, and consumer prices climbing more than 8%, those wage increases are being decimated and families everywhere are hurting.The challenge for policymakers is to rein in prices without triggering another recession or slowing the recovery from the pandemic. I advocate the following solutions to address inflation:Add a Rural Component to the Consumer Price IndexThe federal Bureau of Labor Statistics tracks the national Consumer Price Index (CPI) which measures the change in prices paid by consumers for goods and services such as food, fuels, energy, vehicles, apparel, medical costs, and shelter. The CPI is the leading indicator for spotting inflation trends.But the experience of most First District residents is completely ignored in this calculation because the CPI does not calculate the spending patterns of people living in rural areas or farming families.This is a blatant disregard at the national level for our unique experience as rural communities during an economic downturn. The CPI is also used by the Social Security Administration to give an automatic annual Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for Social Security recipients. But if rural families are not included in the calculation of the CPI, how can we be confident our COLAs are a reflection of our economic experience?In Congress, I will introduce legislation to reform the way the CPI is calculated to include the market basket of goods and services purchased by people living in rural areas and farming families.Temporarily Suspend the Federal Gas TaxConsumers pay an average 52.64 cents in combined state and federal taxes at the gas pump. This is a tax that impacts rural residents particularly hard, since we must drive longer distances and with fewer public transportation options than our urban counterparts. The federal gas tax is currently set at 18.4 cents / gallon (24.4 cents for diesel fuel) and is dedicated to a national trust fund that pays for highway and bridge construction. In November of 2021, President Biden signed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, infusing an historic investment of $1.2 trillion in public infrastructure. Thanks to that, the federal Highway Trust Fund can withstand a temporary loss of revenue without having a negative impact on local transportation projects. In an effort to use every tool at our disposal to address inflation at the gas pump, I support a temporary suspension of the federal gas tax to weather this storm. Such action must come with legislative provisions requiring oil and gas companies to pass these savings directly to the consumer while also requiring these companies to fund a hold harmless provision to protect investments in the Highway Trust Fund.Release of the Strategic Petroleum ReserveSince November 2021, the Biden Administration has been regularly selling barrels of oil from our Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) in a concerted effort to add more supply and lower prices at the pump. While it should be a limited practice, I support the sale and use of SPR stockpiles to calm oil markets when it is done in tandem with releases from other non-OPEC countries who are members in the International Energy Agency intended to address global supply challenges.Hold Oil and Gas Companies AccountableConsolidation in the oil and gas sector has potentially created an anti-competitive environment that keeps consumers from benefitting when oil prices fall. I support asking the Federal Trade Commission to examine what is happening in these markets and whether illegal conduct is driving up costs.Strengthen Supply ChainsFor years, our public approach to domestic production has prioritized efficiency and low costs over security, sustainability, and resilience – all of which create supply chain risks. The COVID-19 global pandemic and resulting economic crisis have pointed to structural weaknesses in our domestic and international supply chains. In June 2021, the Biden Administration issued a report summarizing a 100-day review of supply chain issues affecting our nation. Among the promising recommendations that I will work to advance:The federal government should leverage its purchasing power to strengthen the National Defense Stockpile and the use of the Defense Production Act program to address supply chain deficiencies.The U.S. Trade Representative should identify unfair foreign trade practices that have eroded critical supply chains in the U.S. and recommend trade actions to address the findings.Establish a Supply Chain Disruptions Task Force within the Administration that will coordinate across agencies.To strengthen supply chain weaknesses, a task force report on manufacturing competitiveness at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute recommends modernizing the Defense Production Act to authorize new “special manufacturing zones” with fast-tracked, simplified permitting, preferential tax treatment, focused workforce programs, and capital investments.Dedicate Budget Surplus to Debt ReliefIn an effort to blunt the pandemic’s economic damage on families and businesses, the federal government assumed more debt to offload the pressure on average Americans by offering stimulus checks, the Paycheck Protection Program, and expanding the Child Tax Credit, among other initiatives that worked successfully to keep jobs and wages secure during this unpredictable time. More money in the pockets of families creates more consumer spending. Though we also found that there was a pandemic shift in consumer behavior of buying more goods and fewer services, which also put pressure on the supply chains.While government spending affects inflation, the size of the federal deficit is not considered to have a direct impact on prices. I propose dedicating any excess revenue generated from EconomyFirst to debt relief rather than any additional government spending.2. Tax Relief for Small Businesses and Support for the Middle ClassReduce economic and regulatory pressures on small businesses. Recognize that a strong middle class fuels growth.SMALL BUSINESSESSmall business entrepreneurs are the economic lifeblood of local communities and I pledge my full support to partner with our small business leaders to achieve their maximum economic potential. While support for small business owners is woven throughout the plan, this section specifically outlines support for tax and regulatory relief and access to capital that is targeted to small businesses.Small Business Tax ReliefIn 2017, the Congress created the Small Business Deduction for businesses organized as pass-throughs (S corporations, LLCs, sole proprietorships, or partnerships) not as C corporations. Under this provision, pass-through business owners, regardless of the type of business they own – can claim up to a 20% tax deduction on their share of the business’ income, up to $170,050 in tax year 2022 ($340,100 for joint filers). This important small business tax relief is scheduled to expire in 2025. I support passing the Main Street Tax Certainty Act to make the Small Business Deduction permanent. I also believe in rooting out fraud and abuse anywhere that it exists – including in the tax code – and will work to make sure this relief is restricted to legitimate small businesses and that we crack down on tax avoidance schemes.Small business owners are also able to deduct some of the costs of equipment purchased for use in their businesses. Eligible assets that depreciate over time are eligible for “bonus expensing” where instead of expensing a fraction of the price per use, they can expense the entire purchase all at once. This provision is set to expire in 2024. I support extension of the bonus expensing provisions for small businesses.Eligible employers who offer paid family and medical leave to their employees qualify for a federal tax credit that is set to expire in 2025. I support extending this tax credit for future years.Replenishing the Restaurant Revitalization FundSmall businesses are the backbone of every local economy and restaurants and bars make up the heart of most communities’ economic well being. Because they were hit hardest by the pandemic’s economic restrictions, the Congress created a $28 billion Restaurant Revitalization Fund (RRF) that was depleted within two months, leaving a vast majority of applicants with no relief as demand for the program was so high. Many of these small businesses are on the verge of bankruptcy as they take on additional personal debt, business loans, and laying off staff just to stay operational. I support providing an additional investment of $40 billion to replenish this fund to meet the industry’s need for assistance. As many as eighty percent of all restaurants who did not get original funding from the RRF are at risk for permanent closure. Dedicating money to the RRF is key to stabilizing local restaurants and bars, a key driver of local economic health. This will also help entrepreneurs from passing along the costs of rising food prices onto their consumers.Regulatory ReliefThe federal Small Business Administration has an Office of the National Ombudsman (ONO), which works with agencies across the federal government to review complaints made by small businesses, reduce or waive penalties, and reverse unfair agency decisions. I support regulatory relief for small businesses by empowering the ONO to expand its outreach to small businesses in a more comprehensive way; to develop best practice guidelines to address small business concerns across federal agency platforms through training webinars, compliance guides, and improved customer service; to streamline points of contact in each federal agency to improve ONO advocacy on behalf of small business owners; and to compile consensus recommendations to the Congress from an annual survey of small business owners seeking input on regulations deemed overly burdensome and unnecessary or in need of reform.Access to CapitalSmall businesses often struggle with limited options for gaining capital financing for their businesses. Let’s change that.The Emergency Capital Investment Program (ECIP) was created by Congress to encourage low-and-moderate income community financial institutions to support small businesses and consumers in their rural and underserved communities. Under this program, the U.S. Treasury Department has dedicated $9 billion in capital directly to depository institutions that are certified Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs – which are not-for-profit banks and credit unions) or minority depository institutions (MDIs) to provide grants and loans to these targeted businesses.From its conception, the ECIP was considered emergency relief and, therefore, a temporary program. However, I propose federal review of the success of this program – including whether rural lending institutions were sufficiently included in the financial set asides – and the potential need to make access to such small business capital investments a more permanent feature of the Community Development Banking and Financial Institutions Act of 1994.My congressional office will work with stakeholders in our region to develop more small business loan funds in our First District communities. The Eastern Shore Entrepreneurship Center’s portfolio of revolving loan funds is one model on which to build. Some of the growth in these opportunities will come from advocating administrative changes within federal lending programs. For example, current law requires non-bank entities to be regulated like banks to qualify as lending participants, even though they are audited by a private third-party auditor.The U.S. Small Business Administration provides access to three main types of loans – 7(a) loans (up to $5 million loans that can be used for short-and long-term working capital, to refinance current business debt, to purchase furniture, fixtures, and supplies), 504 loans (of up to $5 million for major fixed assets that promote business growth and job creation), and microloans (of up to $50,000 to help small businesses start up and expand).The USDA provides microloans for microenterprise startups and growth through a Rural Microloan Revolving Fund that offers grants of up to $205,000 annually or fixed rate loans of $50,000 to $500,000. USDA Rural Development also offers Communities Facilities Programs to provide direct loans, loan guarantees, and grants to develop or improve rural facilities and public services.I am dedicated to developing expertise in our congressional office to help small businesses in the First District navigate the application and approval process for these and other grant and loan programs.And finally, a word about Opportunity Zones.The Opportunity Zones (OZ) program is a bipartisan measure of the tax reform bill passed in 2017 which allows investors to secure a tax break on capital gains by putting their returns in funds that provide equity investments for projects in areas that the federal government defines as “economically distressed.” There are 149 OZs in Maryland, including 24 that are in communities in the First District. So far, there have been no investments in the Opportunity Zones in our region. This is in part due to aspects of this program that need to be amended or changed. For example, the program should allow for a re-evaluation of locations on where this kind of investment is most needed. Some of our counties would like an opportunity to redefine the areas chosen as OZs. I also propose amending this federal initiative to allow the program to sponsor investments in community development financial institutions that offer loans to small businesses in underserved and rural areas and to cut down on abuse of the program by the wealthy and well-connected.MIDDLE CLASS RELIEFThe middle class carries a disproportionate tax burden and I support prioritizing tax relief for small businesses, the middle class, and working families.Raise the Federal Minimum WageThe federal minimum wage has not been raised since 2009 and is currently set at $7.25 per hour. However, many states and municipalities have stepped in to raise wages in the absence of federal action. In 2022, there are wage increases set to become law in 21 states and 35 cities and counties. Maryland’s minimum wage protection stands at $12.50 per hour and will be phased to $15 by 2025. In April 2021, President Biden signed an Executive Order creating a $15 minimum wage for federal workers. Not only do workers deserve fair wages for their work, a uniform national minimum wage of $15 per hour will set a level playing field for Maryland’s small businesses. In a pandemic economy with rising inflation, labor costs are a component of determining price competition with neighboring states. I propose pairing passage of the federal minimum wage increase with enactment of the Main Street Tax Certainty Act to make the Small Business Deduction permanent.Extend the Enhanced Child Tax CutThe American Rescue Plan temporarily increased the Child Tax Credit to $3000 for each child aged 17 or under and $3600 for children under the age of 6. The credit was also made fully refundable for one year and it made monthly payments to families rather than an annual lump sum. This policy lifted economic conditions for millions of the nation’s estimated 10.5 million children living in poverty. It is estimated that if these benefits were to continue long term, the nation’s child poverty could drop by as much as 40 percent a year. These payments help families pay for housing, utilities, and food and child care expenses. These provisions were allowed to expire at the end of 2021. The enhanced Child Tax Credit should be extended for at least one more year with a detailed review of the two-year experience with the enhanced payments to determine the cost-benefit analysis of making it permanent.Expand the Earned Income Tax CutThe American Rescue Plan increased the maximum amount of the EITC temporarily for one year from $530 to $1500 for 17 million lower-income workers without children (those earning less than $21,000 per year). This enhanced EITC should be extended for at least one more year.Establish a new Renter’s Tax CutThe details of this proposal are discussed in the Housing and Community Development section of this plan.3. Make More on the Shore: Manufacturing and ConstructionCreate conditions for more manufacturing and construction jobs in our communities.Manufacturing in the First District is a key component to our region’s economic health and diversity. From Frito Lay Snacks in Harford County and Veltec plastics processing in Cecil County; from Dixon Valve & Coupling in Kent County to Paul Reed Smith Guitars in Queen Anne’s County; from Crystal Steel Fabricators in Caroline County to Chesapeake Shipbuilding in Wicomico County – these are among a few of the diverse businesses that contribute to a strong manufacturing presence vital to our communities.The First District’s manufacturing talent creates fabricated metal parts, valves, microelectronics and telecom parts, wire mesh and wire molded products, food processing, boat building, guitars, biopharmaceuticals, plastics, and print industries just to name a few.EconomyFirst is rooted in the promotion, support, and partnership of our manufacturing and construction industries and to leverage as much federal support as possible for these anchor employers.It’s time to “Make More on the Shore.”Clean Energy InnovationOne of the promising new areas of manufacturing growth for our region is in the clean energy sector. In 2019, the state of Maryland passed a Clean Energy Jobs Act, which increased our state’s requirement to get half of its energy from renewable sources by 2030 and created a path for Maryland to reach 100% renewable energy by 2040.The job-creating potential of offshore wind energy in Maryland’s First District is clear: from blade manufacturers to gearbox makers; from engineers to construction workers; from operators to electricians.There are two companies competing in this clean energy sector in Maryland. US Wind was recently awarded a permit to build 808.5 MW of new energy and Skipjack Offshore Energy, LLC (Ørsted) was awarded 846 MW. The Maryland Public Service Commission’s (PSC) approval for permitting obligates these companies to capital investments and job creation in our region.US Wind’s phase two Momentum Wind project (estimated to include 82 turbines) is required to develop a monopile construction facility at Sparrows Point (just 15 miles outside the First District) to produce the structural pilings needed for wind turbine foundations. This facility (known as Sparrows Point Steel) will create 500 full time manufacturing jobs and will contribute $6.9 billion to Maryland’s Gross Domestic Product over the span of twenty years. This partnership is estimated to bring 3,500 construction jobs to Maryland and an additional 100 jobs once operational, totaling an $800 million investment in our state’s economy.Ørsted announced a major economic agreement in October 2021 that will establish Maryland’s first offshore wind steel fabrication center at Crystal Steel Fabricators in Federalsburg (Caroline County) in the First District. Ørsted’s investment in Crystal Steel will enable nearly $70 million in supply agreements and create an additional 50 new steel jobs on the Eastern Shore. This work is in addition to Ørsted’s construction of Maryland’s first emissions-free offshore wind operations and maintenance facility in West Ocean City which will create 110 jobs and generate an estimated $25 million in local investments for the Skipjack Wind program.In Congress, I will strongly advocate for expedited federal approval of these Maryland projects in addition to close coordination with the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management and the U.S. Coast Guard to protect the interests of commercial and recreational fishing, boating, and tourism as these projects continue to move forward.I also support the extension of the Production Tax Credit (PTC) and the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) for wind energy generation which will spur additional economic investments in projects like these and will save people money on their energy bills because we will be less reliant on expensive fossil fuelsLife SciencesMaryland is one of the nation’s top leaders in the advancement of bio and life sciences research and manufacturing. I am dedicated to supporting and growing this vital work in the First District.Federal investments in biomedical research and development through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are more than $32 billion annually. This funding is critical for research that drives discovery as well as generating breakthroughs and new treatments to advance longer and healthier lives.In addition to supporting these annual NIH appropriations at the highest levels, I will always seek to promote federal grant funding and regulatory decisions to enhance commercialization of the life sciences from labs to marketplaces in the First District, which is home to multiple manufacturing facilities in the biopharmaceutical and medical device fields.For example, Cecil County’s Clene Nanomedicine is making advancements in biopharmaceutical efforts to arrest neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple sclerosis (MS) and Parkinson’s Disease. The goal of their treatment approach is to fix the damage from the disease progression and help patients reclaim function. In August 2021, Clene announced their work undertaking the renovation of a 75,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Elkton that will employ 500 people when it is fully operational.Other First District employers in this space include companies like Tumero Medical Corporation in Elkton (Cecil County), Aphena Pharma Solutions in Easton (Talbot County), and Jubilant Cadista’s generic pharmaceutical manufacturing in Salisbury (Wicomico County).The National Institute for Innovation in Manufacturing Biopharmaceuticals (NIIMBL) is another resource in our region for accelerating partnerships for the First District. NIIMBL is funded through a $70 million cooperative agreement with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the U.S. Department of Commerce and leverages private partnerships to accelerate biopharma innovation, support standards that make more efficient and rapid manufacturing capabilities, and educate and train a world-leading biopharmaceutical manufacturing workforce. NIIMBL is located near the Upper Shore of Maryland on the campus of the University of Delaware, in Newark – just across the Maryland border with Cecil County – and we must develop and grow collaborative opportunities on this campus that benefit our region.National Center for Agbiotech ManufacturingI support the vision of the Eastern Shore Entrepreneurship Center’s proposal to create a National Center for Agbiotech Manufacturing to transition companies in this space from R&D lab to manufacturing and commercialization of new plant- and animal-cell technologies and products. This $18.25 million construction project which starts with the acquisition of a 92-acre business facility at the Mid-Shore Regional Technology and Business Park in Ridgely (Caroline County) would create a regional cluster that is attractive to both early-stage companies interested in commercializing plant and animal cell-based products as well as to larger agriscience companies (like Bayer, Syngenta, Corteva) who want proximity and access to the cluster’s concentration of talent and ideas and to be closer to regulators and federal agencies. My congressional office will partner to provide federal support and funding for this vision.Additive Manufacturing and Automated Construction (3-D Printing)Where typical manufacturing operates by cutting away or molding material, additive manufacturing uses digital designs to guide the fabrication of complex, three-dimensional products that are built up, layer by layer. I support boosting federal research investments in the growth and innovation field of large-scale 3D printing for a range of construction and manufacturing opportunities.Additive manufacturing is causing fundamental changes in the way parts are produced. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) at the U.S. Department of Commerce is taking the lead among federal agencies in determining the measurement science research and standards development necessary for the U.S. industry to adapt to these changes in manufacturing.Additive manufacturing with concrete (also known as 3D Concrete Printing), is an emerging technology in the construction industry. Rapid (and cheaper) construction enabled by these techniques could provide shelter to communities affected by disaster, making more affordable housing options, building with local materials in hostile environments, and repairing concrete in hard to access areas, to name a few. But more research must be conducted regarding the long-term performance of these structures to assure adequate safety standards. NIST is conducting this research and should be fully funded.The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers researchers also have been on the forefront of exploration of this new technology at the Engineer Research and Development Center and the Construction Engineer Research Laboratory and have been testing their Additive Construction program with military personnel throughout the Department of Defense (including at Aberdeen Proving Grounds in the First District). This work is to determine proof of concept all the way to testing field conditions for full-scale 512-square foot buildings, guard shelters, jersey barriers, t-walls, culverts, and bridges produced by 3D printing.The U.S. Department of Energy is funding research to achieve high energy and construction efficiency through 3D printing of concrete walls in buildings, which should also demonstrate savings in construction cost and time.I support ongoing federal investments in advancing this research on standards and safety protocols and conducting this work in a timely manner so we might bring more large-scale industrial 3D printing opportunities to the forefront of manufacturing and construction options for the First District.Made in AmericaThe Bipartisan Infrastructure Law includes important provisions meant to boost domestic manufacturing by applying “Build America, Buy America” Act (BABA) domestic preference requirements for federal-aid infrastructure programs. In addition to requiring U.S. production of all iron, steel, manufactured products and construction materials used in the award of any federal infrastructure project, the BABA also creates a new federal Made in America Office that will oversee the implementation and waiver process for these provisions. I will work to ensure the spirit and the letter of this law is implemented in ways that boost opportunities for our local manufacturers as well as assisting any of our businesses who need to apply for reasonable waivers of the provision as allowed under the law.4. 21st Century Skills: Workforce Training and EducationTeach job skills that will match the needs of employers.For many of our industries, there are jobs available, but often not enough workers with the backgrounds necessary to fill them. Labor shortages and a mismatch between available workers, available jobs, and skills needed to do those jobs well has created a strain on the economy.This can be fixed through a coordinated strategy on strengthening labor unions, advancing career and technical education opportunities, establishing robust and accredited apprenticeship programs, and making local workforce development boards the regional go-to, one-stop-shop job counseling and matching centers they are capable of becoming.Advocating for additional federal funding for the First District to develop CTE pathways or apprenticeships that lead to high-wage and in-demand careers in support of Maryland’s workforce and economic development needs is one of my key priorities.Strengthening UnionsI am a proud daughter of labor. My father was a factory welder and member of the United Auto Workers (Local 751) for thirty-two years. I believe that labor unions not only help employees, but also help employers. Employees want to be compensated appropriately and treated with respect. Employers want reliable, productive workers. Workers who are in a labor union are often more productive and are less likely to leave their jobs than their non-unionized counterparts. That’s something a lot of employers are looking for in today’s tight labor market.I support the proposed federal Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act, which would introduce meaningful, enforceable penalties for companies and executives that violate workers’ rights; expand workers’ collective bargaining rights and close loopholes that corporations use to exploit their workers; and strengthen workers’ access to fair union elections and require corporations to respect the results.Career and Technical EducationMaryland dedicates a disproportionate amount of its resources ($2 billion) supporting the one-third of its high school graduates who earn college degrees and gives scant funding ($100 million) to the two-thirds majority who do not. Efforts are underway to change this. A new state blueprint for education invests additional resources in comprehensive career counseling for students and sets robust goals and funding to integrate Career and Technical Education (CTE) with apprenticeships. Federal support can help take this to scale.Under the federal Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act (also known as Perkins V) Congress appropriates roughly $1.3 billion annually in state formula grants to develop and implement CTE programs. The U.S. Department of Education which oversees this program requires each state to develop a four-year plan for CTE. Maryland’s CTE Four-Year State Plan received federal approval in August 2020.I am dedicated to appointing a member of our future congressional staff team to oversee and coordinate implementation and oversight of this plan and other regional workforce development issues in the First District, including targeting federal funding opportunities to advance these goals.Students in Maryland can focus their CTE studies in ten career clusters:Arts, Media, and CommunicationsBusiness Management and FinanceConstruction and DevelopmentConsumer Services, Hospitality, and TourismEnvironmental, Agriculture, and Natural ResourcesHealth and BioscienceHuman Resource ServicesInformation TechnologyManufacturing, Engineering, and TechnologyTransportation TechnologiesEach career cluster has CTE programs of study with content that is aligned with academic and industry standards and employability skills. The CTE programs of study provide students an opportunity to earn postsecondary degrees and/or industry-recognized credentials while also offering direct engagement opportunities in workplace learning experiences.Every county in the First District has at least one designated CTE school or has integrated CTE programs at their traditional high schools (such as Kent, Talbot, and Queen Anne’s Counties).Our local CTE schools include:Harford Technical High SchoolCecil County School of TechnologyCaroline Career & Technology CenterDorchester Career & Technology CenterTawes Career and Technical Center (Somerset County)Worcester Technical High SchoolParkside Career Technology Center (Wicomico County)Chesapeake Culinary Center in Denton (Caroline County)Another set of key partners in workforce training are the local community colleges, which in the First District include:Chesapeake CollegeWor-Wic Community CollegeCecil CollegeHarford Community CollegeCommunity College of Baltimore CountyI propose hosting an annual First District conference to bring together regional stakeholders, including local industries and CTE schools and community colleges, to align workforce needs with CTE clusters, curricula, and programs of study; and to assist with student placements for matching mentorships, apprenticeships, and future jobs in our district. One area of focus for us will be to address barriers that small businesses face in leveraging the full potential of CTE experiences.Apprenticeship ProgramsApprenticeships combine paid on-the-job training with classroom instruction to prepare workers for highly-skilled careers. This model is win-win for the employer who is better able to recruit, build, and retain a highly-skilled workforce and the employee who receives a skills-building education that leads to a good-paying job. Union apprenticeships with carpenters, painters, and building trades, for example, serve as especially successful model programs.For programs registered under the standards of the U.S. Department of Labor, an apprenticeship is different from other workforce training programs because they are paid jobs providing structured work-based learning, mentorships, classroom instruction, and provide portable, nationally-recognized industry credentials.There are federal resources available for apprenticeship expansion and innovation and I envision bringing stakeholders together to apply for available grants and help our region successfully compete for these funds. The U.S. Department of Labor has devoted $113 million for its Apprenticeship Building America (ABA) Grant Program for this fiscal year alone.One of the key stakeholders in this consortium will be local workforce development boards.Workforce Development BoardsThe federal Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act is designed to help job seekers access employment, education, training, and support services to succeed in the labor market and to match employers with skilled workers necessary to compete in the global economy.The U.S. Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administration provides funding to support workforce development programs for eligible adults, youth, and dislocated workers. These programs are administered through local Workforce Development Boards. For the First District, this includes:Upper Shore Workforce Investment BoardLower Shore Workforce AllianceSusquehanna Workforce Network (Harford and Cecil)These agencies assist with adult education and family literacy, rehabilitation services, social services, and in-demand training options to qualify workers for careers in our region.Federal funding for these local agencies is allocated to the states on a formula basis. I propose increasing the base funding for these allotments and adding additional legislative language that gives higher federal matching dollars for any state investments that are leveraged into this program.Workforce Re-EntryThere is a significant amount of federal grant support available for job search assistance, employment resources, and training opportunities for military service members transitioning to the civilian workforce, veterans, people with disabilities, and those who served time in the criminal justice system. I will position stakeholders in the First District to apply and successfully compete for these resources in the U.S. Department of Labor, National Dislocated Worker grants; the U.S. Department of Education, Vocational Rehabilitation programs; and the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance, to name a few.5. Housing and Community DevelopmentProvide access to quality and affordable housing in safe and healthy communities as the foundation for all other economic and social activities.Having access to quality and affordable housing in a safe and healthy community is the foundation for all other economic and social activities. However, complex market forces interacting with layers of government programs and policies over many decades creates a heavy mix of challenges that make solutions in this area seem elusive. We can start by making progress in a few specific areas. This section of the plan is not intended to be a comprehensive housing policy platform; however, we can target some specific federal programs for support and promote some policy adjustments that would have a net positive impact on the First District’s available affordable housing opportunities.Create a Renter’s Tax CutMost of the federal government’s investment in middle class wealth-building supports families who can afford to buy their homes and benefit from mortgage deductions on their taxes. We spend over $200 billion annually through the tax code subsidizing homeownership. We have no similar support for renters. I propose the creation of a new refundable renter’s tax credit that could help lower the threshold of income-to-rent ratios that have many Marylanders upside down in their family budgets. Our plan also proposes that participants in the Renter’s Tax Credit Program could choose to direct their credits to a tax-advantaged savings account to be used for a down payment on a future mortgage.Build Innovative, Seasonal Workforce Housing in Ocean CityWe are experiencing a workforce housing crisis in Ocean City, where the tourism-based economy relies on thousands of seasonal workers to thrive. A combination of Maryland college students as well as international workers (under the J-1 Visa Summer Work Travel Program or the H-2B Visa program) support the hospitality industry that is the backbone of Ocean City’s seasonal economy. These workers have relatively few safe, adequate, and affordable housing options in the area; and with nowhere to live, these jobs will go unfilled — creating a downward spiral of negative economic conditions for the region. One public-private partnership opportunity to address this challenge would be to collaborate with Holtz Builders, Inc — the country’s most experienced developer and builder of dormitory-style seasonal workforce housing — to bring their successful model to Worcester County by offering long-term, low-interest financing for this project in West Ocean City to advance.Here is one funding source we could dedicate for this purpose: a portion of Maryland’s allotment from the National Housing Trust Fund (HTF). This federal assistance is targeted to help build, rehabilitate, preserve, and operate rental housing and home ownership that is affordable. The HTF is funded by a small fee on Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae activity. Money in this program is distributed through a state block grant funding formula that allows for local decision-making and control. Maryland received $9.975 million in its HTF formula allocation in fiscal year 2021. However, this amount does not come close to addressing current needs. I support increasing funding for the Housing Trust Fund by adjusting the current fee (0.042%) on Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae activities upward to generate more revenue for the program. Specific to the Ocean City seasonal workforce housing project, money from Maryland’s allotment should be dedicated to securing the long-term, low-interest financing needed to make this project a reality. Maryland benefits tremendously from Ocean City’s tourism economy and must be dedicated to keeping it healthy and strong.Establish a Maryland Office for USDA Rural Housing ProgramsThe USDA operates a Rural Housing Program through its Rural Development (RD) division. The USDA Rural Development Guaranteed Housing Loan program offers reduced mortgage rates available to home buyers with low-to-average income for their area and offers 100% financing with reduced mortgage insurance premiums. Single Family Housing Repair Loans and Grants provide funds to elderly and low-income homeowners to remove health and safety hazards, perform repairs, modernize or make home improvements / energy efficiency / or accessibility. Day-to-day management of these programs is carried out by RD staff in 47 state offices. Maryland is one of the few states that does not have its own office. Our RD state director is located in Delaware. I will advocate establishing our own Maryland office located in the First District.Reform the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit ProgramThe Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program is the federal government’s primary tool for incentivizing the development of affordable housing stock. LIHTC gives states approximately $9.5 billion in annual budget authority to issue tax credits to encourage developers to create set asides for affordable housing through the acquisition, rehabilitation, or construction of rental housing for lower-income households. This program has benefited from long-standing bipartisan political support, homebuilding industry support, and investor support. LIHTC has also been an essential partner in preserving and expanding affordable rural rental housing. Nearly 100% of all USDA Section 538 guaranteed loans made for new construction have relied on LIHTC to provide equity.But this program also faces challenges. The process of allocating and awarding Low Income Housing Tax Credits is time-consuming and cumbersome. Layering in the allocation process (which sends this money from the federal government to the states; from the states to developers; from the developers to investors) results in economic inefficiencies and complexities that do not serve the program well. Additionally, units are not required to be permanently affordable. Community NIMBY opposition to affordable housing can block development or limit it to undesirable areas that concentrate poverty and segregation.My office will advocate for federal agency review of these LIHTC challenges and work to drive consensus on policy reforms to streamline financing, shorten project timelines, reduce costs, improve longevity of unit affordability, and strengthen the overall program while also ensuring appropriate funding levels for state allocations to meet the growing need.Advocate Mixed-Use Development ProjectsMy congressional office will partner with local stakeholders to expand the availability of unique residential housing and mixed use retail development projects that will boost economic activity in the First District. One such project is in Dorchester County at the Cambridge Waterfront Development at Sailwinds, which envisions a massive overhaul of the waterfront property along the Choptank River to create mixed-use commercial/retail (for hospitality, food, and beverage operations) and residential units. Current concepts in their working plan include public amenities along the waterfront (walking promenade with biking trails), greenspace for recreation, events and entertainment, unrestricted access for an improved boat ramp, and beach access for swimming. This project is being overseen by a non-profit community development group and is working with local property neighbors and community businesses to coordinate plans and long-term visioning. In addition to using expertise and relationships at all levels of government to facilitate the success of this vision, I am dedicated to the acquisition of federal grant funding to support this project and others like it.Support Local Shelters for Housing EmergenciesThere is no shortage of amazing non-profit organizations stepping up throughout the First District to help address the challenges of unsheltered people in our communities – from the Talbot Interfaith Shelter in Easton, Martin’s House and Barn in Ridgely, His Hope Ministries in Denton, Diakonia in Ocean City, the Lower Shore Shelter in Princess Anne, Christian Shelter in Salisbury, Deep Roots at Clairvaux Farm in Earlville, to Welcome One in Belcamp (just to name a few). I will be a fierce advocate for helping to deliver necessary federal funds to help address these challenges and support our community partners. For too long, rural homelessness has been an afterthought in Congress. My first priority in this area is to hold the Department of Housing and Urban Development accountable for implementing and funding the Rural Housing Stability Assistance Program. In 2009 the federal HEARTH Act (the Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing) was passed, which repealed the Rural Homeless Housing Assistance program (which had never been implemented or funded!) and replaced it with the Rural Housing Stability Assistance program – which STILL has not been implemented or funded. This is what happens when we do not have a true voice inside the Congress advocating for us – our rural interests are too often ignored.Champion Community Development Block GrantsOne of the main federal investments in assisting with local community development projects is the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), which provides annual grants on a formula basis to states, cities, and counties to help communities carry out a range of activities to build more resilient neighborhoods and rehabilitated housing, create new or retain existing jobs, promote economic development, and improve community facilities and services.For CDBG purposes, Harford County and Salisbury are considered federal entitlement jurisdictions in the First District and do not need to compete for funding. They receive a direct annual allocation from the state’s funding formula instead of competing against other jurisdictions.Of the remaining 30% of funds that are distributed to small cities, the money is earmarked for towns with populations of low- and moderate-income persons making up more than 51% of the community’s population. The First District is home to many communities where this threshold is met, including: Betterton, Cambridge, Cecilton, Chestertown, Crisfield, Federalsburg, Galestown, Henderson, Hurlock, Mardela Springs, Marydel, Pittsville, Pocomoke City, Port Deposit, Princess Anne, Secretary, Snow Hill, and Templeville.I will be a champion for CDBG annual funding allotments to match the growing needs in our region and for our communities in the First District to get our fair share of available federal resources allotted to Maryland under this program.Promote TourismThe First District is ripe to grow its offerings of Heritage Tourism, Ecotourism, Agritourism, and Sports Tourism offerings with the help of additional federal funds and convenor support from enthusiastic and visionary stakeholders who see and understand the potential for our region to be an economic engine for tourism dollars.The American Rescue Plan allocated a supplemental $750 million to the U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration’s Travel, Tourism, and Outdoor Recreation program. State tourism grants were slated to receive $510 million of that. In February 2022, the Maryland tourism industry received $9.6 million in federal funding from this allotment. The remaining $240 million will be distributed as competitive grants to communities that shouldered the brunt of the pandemic’s impact on these sectors. I recognize the importance of travel, tourism, and outdoor recreation to our region’s economic health and will advocate annually for sufficient funds to be dedicated to the EDA for this purpose and will assist grant applicants in the First District to get our fair share of these resources.I applaud the work of Senator Chris Van Hollen and Congressman John Sarbanes to explore the designation of a Chesapeake National Recreational Area managed by the National Park Service. A unified national park designation would deliver additional federal resources to the region and encourage economic growth across the Watershed. The Bay’s natural, cultural, historical, and recreational significance deserves recognition for the American treasure that it is.The First District would also benefit from efforts by bike and pedestrian coalitions to connect communities on the Eastern Shore through a robust regional trail network, which has my full support to see this effort grow from vision to implementation over the coming years.6. InfrastructureSeize historic investment opportunities for broadband, ports, roads, bridges, freight rail, public transit, airports, wastewater, and utilities.The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law was signed by President Biden on November 15, 2021 and is a once-in-a-generation investment in our nation’s infrastructure and competitiveness. These new dedicated resources for improving broadband connectivity, ports, bridges, roads, rail, airports, water and sewer, and utilities will be made available through a combination of federal programs, grants or state funding allocations. Andy Harris voted against this law. He has no voice in Congress to leverage our district’s fair share of these resources. I am ready to make sure the First District is competitively situated to adequately address our community’s needs. You can also count on me to make annual requests for the funding necessary to keep our infrastructure resilient.BroadbandRapid deployment of reliable high-speed internet connectivity for our rural communities is needed to address the digital divide and enhance our ability to be competitive in a modern economy. This issue consistently ranks as one of our top economic needs on the Eastern Shore.The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law commits $42.5 billion nationally to establish the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment Program (BEADP) to be administered by the Department of Commerce. Maryland is expected to receive at least $100 million in additional broadband funds from BEADP; this is in addition to $400 million in federal investment for Maryland that Governor Hogan and the state legislature recently devoted to the “Connect Maryland” plan to deliver high-speed broadband to all Maryland residents by 2025.To receive federal BEADP funding, states must complete a 5-year action plan that outlines spending priorities for un-and-underserved households, community anchor institutions (schools, libraries, health care facilities), mapping broadband data, and establishing programs to provide affordable devices. My role is to assure that the First District is adequately represented in this plan – from last mile connection needs to making sure customers have competitive pricing from multiple internet service providers, not price gouging from a monopoly company. The Maryland Broadband Cooperative and the Rural Maryland Council are leading stakeholders and partners in this work.In addition, we will advocate that 3rd and 4th generation networks are not disabled when systems upgrade to 5G technology. Many rural residents still lack access to 4G and LTE networks and have had to rely on the older 3G networks. Rather than fully extend the 4G and LTE networks in rural areas, carriers are racing to deploy the 5G network in urban areas. Worse yet, these carriers are in the process of shutting down the meager 3G networks that rural residents rely on, making older phones obsolete and leaving many without a properly functioning data network. To address this, our plan proposes requiring: carriers to do more to inform affected customers that their devices will no longer work; the FCC to work with carriers to guarantee data coverage to rural areas while upgrades are made to 5G technology; and the FCC to expand their Lifeline Program to allow people to use it to purchase new devices if they have ones that will no longer work after 3G is shut down.Electric Vehicle ChargingThe Bipartisan Infrastructure Law provides funding to states to promote the development of reliable electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in two forms: formula funding for the development of a national network, and a competitive grant program that will support innovative approaches to ensure that charger deployment prioritizes rural charging, local air quality, and EV charging access in disadvantaged communities. We might not be the first region to be early adopters of EVs, but we also should not be the last consideration for setting up the technology that encourages our adoption and use of these vehicles. The U.S. Departments of Transportation and Energy already announced that Maryland is receiving more than $9 million in formula funding with guidance pending on the competitive grant program. My congressional office will work closely with Maryland state officials to make sure our region is included in plans for building out rural EV charging stations.Ports, Marinas, WaterwaysMaryland will receive an undetermined amount of new federal funding for its ports. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law includes $5 billion exclusively for port programs and an additional $27 billion over 5 years for which ports would be eligible to apply.Salisbury is home to the second-busiest port in Maryland on the navigation channel of the Wicomico River. It currently has six privately-owned terminals or facilities, which handled just over a million tons of cargo in 2019. This river channel is maintained by regular dredging supported by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), which is a cost of over $4 million annually. The USACE designates “economically significant” projects as those supporting more than one million tons of cargo annually. Ensuring this annual metric is met is important to the sustained support of Salisbury’s marine transportation system. As the City of Salisbury moves towards the creation of a port authority to develop a multi-user public marine facility, our EconomyFirst plan supports securing federal grant funding for this work to expand the Salisbury Port.In Ocean City, I support plans to dredge a navigable channel to the Convention Center Pier Area, as well as adding floating docks and a water taxi terminal at the convention center boardwalk. We should be able to secure some federal funds to assist with this vision for economic development in Worcester County.Communities throughout the First District are home to important marinas for recreational boating in our region and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Boating Infrastructure Grant (BIG) program is a significant source of annual funding that can be targeted for use in maintaining, revitalizing, and growing our recreational boating infrastructure. We will compete for these funds to keep our marinas a strong and growing force for regional economic growth.I also propose an innovative Eastern Shore of Maryland Regional Dredging Needs Assessment project to develop a priority dredging schedule for our waterways that can project our needs and obtain funding for 5 to 10 years in advance. More details on this proposal are included in the Commercial Fishing section of this plan.Freight RailFreight rail moves goods through the Eastern Shore on two shortline railroads operated by the Maryland & Delaware Railroad Company and the Delmarva Central Railroad Company. There is an active campaign to grow this business for our region and I will be its federal advocate. Upgrading and relocating tracks, grade crossings, and deployment of railroad safety technology are among the projects eligible for funding under the Consolidated Rail Infrastructure & Safety Improvements Grant program ($1 billion annually over 5 years) within the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. These upgrades have the potential of spurring economic development within existing vacant industrial properties located on rail siding that could be developed into continued rail use.Public TransitThe quality and availability of mass transit options varies throughout the First District. I support existing programs and services while also envisioning opportunities that would expand and improve mass transit options in our region.A survey of current transit services in the First District:Harford County is served by connection lines to the MARC train system (Perryville, Aberdeen, Edgewood) and its commuter buses which also extend to Queen Anne’s County for Park & Ride services (Kent Narrows, Kent Island, Stevensville).Cecil Transit and Harford Transit buses and taxi voucher programs cover Aberdeen, Havre de Grace, Perryville, Charlestown, North East, and Elkton.MUST (Maryland Upper Shore Transit) is a collaborative public transportation effort between Delmarva Community Transit and Queen Anne’s County, County Ride. This regional bus system is a fixed route transportation service covering Kent, Queen Anne’s, Talbot, Caroline, and Dorchester Counties.Shore Transit is a fixed route commuter bus service in Somerset, Wicomico, and Worcester counties.PlanningI propose undertaking a comprehensive planning process to review the adequacy of existing transit services and the gaps that must be addressed to meet our public transportation needs of the First District. Our region would benefit from a robust planning process to reimagine public transit possibilities that could shape our communities over the next ten years.Comprehensive First District Public Transit Planning could answer questions such as:Are the current MARC train stops sufficiently serving our population growth along the existing routes? Are there any additional communities that should have station stops added? Are the commuter bus services adequately serving our region?Are the Harford and Cecil County Transit buses serving these connected communities in a coordinated way? Are there opportunities for efficiencies, collaborations, and route improvements?What would a next generation transit plan for the Eastern Shore look like? Are there public-private partnerships that could be cultivated, encouraged, and rewarded to fill the gaps in regional services? What are our working and commute patterns suggesting are the biggest public transportation needs for our region?How are the transportation concerns of retired and elderly residents needing help with activities of daily living and health care different from the needs of commuters seeking job opportunities in other regions of our district?What would local small business owners say is their “wish list” of transit support services for their employees and customer base?What would employers like to see made available within our region’s transportation infrastructure to support their economic growth and the needs of their workforce?What are the safe biking and walking paths needed to accompany our public transportation vision?These and other questions need to be on the table as we come together to envision our region’s public transit future. Under EconomyFirst, we will compete for federal funding to help support this planning process.The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law provides $200 million annually for planning grants for transportation investment priorities under the Federal Transit Administration and the Federal Highway Administration. Planning activities supported under these grants include the development of transportation plans and programs; planning, design, and evaluation of a public transportation program, and technical studies related to such projects. Importantly, changes to this program now allow a greater than 80 percent federal share for transportation planning in rural areas and lower-density or lower-income portions of metropolitan areas.In addition, I propose competing for our fair share of funding from the Formula Grants for Rural Areas program which provides capital, planning, and operating assistance to states to support public transportation in rural areas with populations less than 50,000. The program also provides funding for state and national training and technical assistance through the federal Rural Transportation Assistance Program. Eligible recipients for formula grants are states, local government authorities, nonprofit organizations, and operators of public transportation bus services. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law increased funding for these grants to more than $4.58 billion over 5 years to support 1,300 rural transit systems and ours in the First District should be among those vying for and receiving these needed resources.A new program funded under this law also provides an additional $1 billion on a competitive basis for essential ferry service in rural areas, giving us an opportunity to seek support for the Oxford Bellevue Ferry (Oxford / Talbot County), the Whitehaven Ferry (Quantico / Wicomico County) and Upper Ferry (Salisbury / Wicomico County) and to consider other essential ferry connections that could be developed with federal support.ModernizationIn addition to planning for expanding commuter bus services, I propose seeking federal money to upgrade and repair our aging transit infrastructure, and to modernize our bus and rail fleets.America’s transit systems have a combined repair backlog of an estimated $105 billion. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law provides $23.1 billion over 5 years for State of Good Repair Grants for repair and maintenance of transit systems. There is also $5.6 billion over 5 years to fund Low-or No-Emission Bus Grants to transition buses to lower/no-emission vehicles in transit fleets. First District transit modernization backlogs should compete for our share of these resources.AirportsThe Bipartisan Infrastructure Law dedicates $25 billion over 5 years to airport repair and maintenance backlogs. The First District is home to Crisfield Airport, Salisbury-Ocean City Wicomico Regional Airport, Easton Airport, and Cambridge-Dorchester Regional Airport. I support projects that range from the construction of additional hangars and cargo areas to runway extensions that would attract additional carriers and businesses at our airports.Water, Sewer, and UtilitiesThe Bipartisan Infrastructure Law includes $55 billion allocated for drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure funding. Much of this funding is a formula-based distribution to states but a few grant programs worth highlighting for our region include:Wastewater Energy Efficiency Grant Pilot Program ($100 million / 5 years) to create or improve waste-to-energy systems. This could help further scale up a project like Planet Found Energy Development’s efforts to treat poultry litter and convert it into renewable energy, potting soils, and fertilizers while eliminating liquid discharge. More details on this exciting Lower Shore project are included in the wastewater treatment section of the Commercial Fishing section of this plan. Clean Water Infrastructure Resiliency and Sustainability Grant Program ($125 million / 5 years) to help communities prepare their drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure to meet the threats posed by increasing instances of extreme weather and changing hydrological conditions. The entire region of the First District is impacted by rising tides, coastal flooding, and extreme weather incidents.EPA Sewer Overflow & Stormwater Reuse Municipal Grant Program ($1.4 billion / 5 years) is dedicating no less than ¼ of its funding to support rural and financially disadvantaged communities. We have a backlog of water infrastructure and wastewater treatment infrastructure needs (new wells, pumping stations, piping upgrades, failing treatment plants, etc.) throughout the First District that should compete for these resources.The Rural and Low-Income Water Assistance Pilot Program will establish a new EPA program to provide grants to utilities to assist low-income rate payers. A separate program dedicates $200 million / 5 years to connect homes to publicly owned treatment works, a need specifically in rural areas.Our nation’s electric transmission and distribution facilities are also in need of modernization and infrastructure support. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law devotes $5 billion in funding to the Department of Energy to establish a competitive grant program to fund energy grid resilience projects. Half of this funding goes directly to transmission owners and operators (like Delmarva Power) and the other half is distributed to states to develop programs in coordination with municipal entities and rural electric cooperatives (like Choptank Electric) on a cost-shared basis. There is an additional $1 billion set aside for rural and remote areas for this purpose. This funding will support a range of activities such as weatherization technologies and equipment, utility pole management, undergrounding of electrical equipment, relocation of power lines, replacement of old overhead conductors and underground cables, to name a few. Under our EconomyFirst plan, I will be a vocal advocate in securing these resources for the First District.7. Agriculture and ForestryPartner with ag innovators to increase market opportunities for next-level local foods, products, services, and curated experiences.In addition to the vision we outlined supporting foundational farmers through our Agri-Climate solutions policy, our EconomyFirst plan promotes next-level ag innovators who are looking to match their entrepreneurial spirit with market opportunities that will connect more growers and processors with a consumer base interested in local foods, products, services, and niche experiences to keep our local agricultural economies strong.Foundational FarmingI am a tireless advocate for farmers in the First District to get the federal funding, technical assistance, and policy support they need to thrive. Our Agri-Climate Solutions for Maryland’s Eastern Shore is a comprehensive and innovative plan to support farmers as they work to adapt to climate change and to reward those who employ climate-friendly practices. At the heart of this proposal is the creation of a National Soil Health Initiative, which would reform conservation programs to reward practices that sequester carbon, help farmers adapt to saltwater intrusion, and provide farmers with the technical assistance many need to implement these practices. The Agri-Climate plan also calls for reforming the Federal Crop Insurance Program so major climate polluters chip into the program to keep insurance premiums from rising as claims increase from more severe weather. The plan also calls for lowering crop insurance premiums for farmers who employ climate-friendly practices. Farmers are the closest to the land and should be the nation’s priority partners in driving climate solutions.Accelerate AcceleratorsBusiness start-up accelerator programs offer mentorship, capital, and connections to businesses with a minimum viable product to help them rapidly scale growth. F3 Tech (Farm-Fish-Food) Accelerator, operated by the Eastern Shore Entrepreneurship Center, advances innovation and technology within the agriculture, aquaculture, and environmental sectors. The F3 Accelerator helps expedite commercialization, attract investors, accelerate manufacturing, customer acquisition, and revenue development. F3 Tech has developed meaningful programs of support for local entrepreneurs, such as the Chesapeake Agriculture Innovation Center. In Harford County, The Grove is an agri-business incubator for local area farmers, artists and food processors to sell their products directly to consumers and to actively promote agriculture commerce and sustainability in Harford County. The U.S. Economic Development Administration helps to fund the work of accelerators like F3 Tech and The Grove and my congressional office will advocate for an expansion of funding to grow this work in our region and help accelerators extend their reach to assist more entrepreneurs.Value-Added Agricultural ProductionValue-Added Agriculture (VAA) includes products that are altered, processed, marketed, or produced in a way that increases its worth to the consumer and generates more revenue for the producer, processor, or farmer. This can come through a growing “cottage food” industry, organic farming specialties, dairy, hemp, craft beverages (distilled spirits / beer / wine / ciders / meads / kombuchas), on-farm food processing, packaging, drying, milling, malting, and other categories.The Business Economic and Community Outreach Network (BEACON) of Salisbury University found that Maryland’s VAA industry supports nearly 75,000 jobs and creates a total state economic impact of over $20.6 billion annually.These growing industries need a regulatory and fiscal champion at the federal level.Most federal food safety regulations have been constructed for large producers, not for local foods. Current guidelines are geared towards large facilities handling large volumes and what is needed to assure food safety under those conditions is not the same as for smaller producers of value-added agriculture. In Congress, I will advocate for regulatory reforms that relieve some of this burden for VAA farmers and businesses.I will also be a champion for increased federal funding to support additional Value Added Producer Grants (VAPG) from the USDA’s Rural Business Cooperative Service. This VAPG program provides planning and/or capital investment for VAA enterprises. The planning grants offer maximum awards of $75,000 for feasibility studies, business plans, marketing plans, and legal evaluations. The working capital grants offer maximum awards of $250,000 to purchase inventory, office equipment and supplies; pay salaries, utilities, office rent; cover legal and accounting costs; conduct marketing campaigns; or develop branding and packaging materials.I will explore opportunities in future Farm Bills to create and advance funding for the creation of new regional Agribusiness Development Corporations in rural communities that can assist with marketing, assess and administer grants for VAA and agritourism, act as a regulatory ombudsman, and encourage the growth and establishment of food and agriculture support businesses such as: local meat processing facilities, shared-use commercial kitchens, and food aggregation hubs, to name a few.One exciting new shared-use commercial kitchen in the First District is the minority and woman-owned Four Eleven Kitchen, which is designed to empower, elevate, and establish a thriving food entrepreneur community in Cambridge and the greater Mid-Shore region. This $3.2 million investment at the renovated Phillips Packing House will create an economic opportunity for local food processors to benefit from the shared use facility’s focus on dropping barriers for equipment and training.I also support efforts in Caroline County to create a food aggregation hub at the Chesapeake Culinary Center in Denton and in partnership with the Chesapeake Ag Innovation Center. Immediate plans are for processing and freezing local produce but the long-range plans seeking funding support are to create a processing and aggregation facility that would offer: Farm to Freezer (processing for wholesale, retail, and institutional markets); Value-Added products and co-packing operations; cold and freezer storage; ready meals prepared and frozen; food lab and innovation center; conference rooms and classrooms. This plan is ready to go and needs funding partners. My congressional office will partner and work aggressively to bring federal funding support to this project.Agricultural Marketing and AgritourismI support engaging stakeholders and securing federal funds to promote the awareness of local agriculture through agritourism and marketing events like Farm to Fork dinners, Buy Local Challenges, Community Supported Agriculture, and the growth of robust area Farmers’ Markets.Agritourism promotion is another strategic effort to grow marketplace connections between our growers/producers and consumers, often providing an experience at an on-farm site for education, recreation, retreats, and retail sales. Agritourism is often connected with the Value-Added Agriculture sector.One example of local agritourism is Crow Farm Vineyard and Winery in Kent County, where they offer a winery and tasting room, a farmstay bed and breakfast, sell grass-fed black angus beef, and host farm-to-table dinners and events.Another fun example of First District Agritourism is Shore Craft Beer, an initiative launched by OceanCity.com to make the Shore a local craft beer destination area. There are more than 26 craft breweries open for business on the Shore, and that number continues to grow. By marketing them together on pub / brewery tours and engaging hotels and restaurants to cater to this growing interest and offer “beercation” packages, all craft breweries can benefit from collective support and promotion through agritourism. Through the support of the Rural Maryland Council, there is now a new Shore Craft Beer App so enthusiasts can have all the local breweries, events, and offerings from these local producers at their fingertips.ForestryOne-third of Maryland’s timber resources are located on the Eastern Shore. Our key species are pines, soft maple, sweetgum, and oak, of which 36% become sawlogs and 64% become pulpwood. The industry generates $113 million in revenue and supports approximately 822 jobs at 128 businesses. Mill closures and limited capacity to process large timber has created challenges for the industry. However, a new wood pellet mill was recently added on the Shore and piling manufacturing has expanded. 2021 also saw the reopening of a sawmill.With federal funding from the U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration, a Maryland Forestry Economic Adjustment Strategy (EAS) was developed in 2021 to create a coordinated strategy to strengthen the industry across the state.In addition to assisting with the implementation of the EAS, I will help the Eastern Shore compete for grant funding under the USDA Forest Service that supports the development and expanded use of wood products (Wood Innovations Grants), strengthens emerging wood energy systems and markets (Community Wood Grants), and protects community forests (Community Forest Grants).8. Commercial Fishing and AquacultureStrengthen commercial fishing and aquaculture to help each grow and thrive for generations to come.Maryland’s blue crabs from the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries are an iconic national treasure, delivered to homes and commercial businesses through the hard work of our state’s watermen. We supply more blue crabs and soft clams to the U.S. seafood market than any other state in the nation. Maryland’s other important commercial species includes striped bass, perch, oysters, bluefish, flounder, spot, croaker, sea trout, and catfish.The Maryland seafood industry is a significant contributor to our state and regional economy. Commercial landings of blue crabs, striped bass, and Eastern oysters in Maryland totaled nearly 31 million pounds in 2020 at a value of over $60 million.In addition to wild commercial fishing, Maryland has a robust and growing aquaculture industry that “farms the water” to produce prawns, tilapia, catfish, yellow perch, hybrid striped bass, crawfish, trout, eels, oysters, and soft crabs at an estimated market value in Maryland of over $18 million in 2017.As your congresswoman, I will be a champion for both the commercial fishing and aquaculture industries to help each grow and thrive for generations to come.OystersFirst, a word about the controversy over oyster harvesting.Oysters are natural pollution filters and a critical component of the Chesapeake Bay’s ecosystem. Known as the “kidneys of the bay,” one adult oyster is capable of filtering 50 gallons of water per day, helping to remove excess nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus and eating algae blooms that block the flow of light in the water. Oysters also provide critical habitat to other species (such as crabs, worms, and smaller fish) who live among the oyster reefs.In recent years there has been a growing political division that pits aquaculture’s process of managed and leased oyster beds against wild oyster harvesting. There has been talk in some circles of eliminating the wild oyster harvest altogether as an approach to helping the oyster population rebound and instead leaning in only on the promising future of aquaculture. This is a non-starter. We need both. This is not an either-or proposition. We need an all-of-the-above strategy to repopulate our beloved oysters in the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. It will take the skill, insight, and wisdom of our watermen in the commercial fishing industry working and managing the wild populations as well as the hard work of those placing spat on shells in leased oyster beds and sanctuaries for us to achieve our common goals.My congressional office will be a federal partner to find and target resources, regulatory support, and stakeholder engagement necessary to implement the consensus recommendations of the state’s recent Oyster Advisory Commission’s final report. This includes:Shell and Substrate Resource Recommendations:Identifying and obtaining sources of shells and substrateStrategies to provide economic incentives to retain shell in Maryland and reuse itEvaluating the ability of bar cleaning in low / underperforming harvest areas to promote improved spat setsMonitoring and Marking Recommendations:Improving the Fall Dredge SurveyImproving markings for navigation hazards and oyster management boundariesManagement Action Recommendations (to rebuild oyster populations, enhance harvest revenue, increase habitat, reduce nitrogen and phosphorous in the Bay):Fund spat planting in sanctuariesFund spat and shell planting on fishery barsFund replenishment plantings on oyster fishery bottomKeep wild oyster fishery openBusiness Practices and Marketing Recommendations:Improve cooperation and engagement among groups and integrate projects across fishery, aquaculture, and restorationImprove processor capabilities (more shucking houses, develop frozen product)Dedicate bars north of Bay Bridge as “investments” against disease outbreaks in lower BayUse nutrient credit opportunities to help finance restoration on sanctuaries and replenish public fishery bottom in the BayImproved Science Recommendations:Conduct a comprehensive survey of the Maryland Bay bottom with a focus on describing the current amount, quality, and location of oyster habitatDevelop the ability to make stock assessment projections of abundance and harvestDetermine ways to reduce sedimentationCommercial FishingOur strategies in this area must always include the advice and insight of those closest to the water who know this industry best: the watermen. Maryland’s watermen carry generations of wisdom and insight about the ways of the Bay. They have more to lose than anyone if the waterways are unhealthy and the ecosystems endangered – their very livelihoods depend on this. We must always be dedicated to incorporating their observations into our first line of tactics and strategies for engaging the challenges we face.Talk to any waterman and he will tell you that the biggest threat to wild oysters and crabs is the quality of the water in which they live and grow. And this is true for all the precious habitats of the Bay.Of the many strategies we must undertake to address improving our waterways, I will focus on these:improved dredging schedules and funding;collaborating with regional partners to clean up the sediment overflow at the Conowingo Dam;dedicating infrastructure resources to strengthen wastewater treatment facilities and improve their discharge impacts on the Bay’s tributaries;supporting promising new technologies to address the challenges of excess agricultural run-off polluting the Bay;fixing the broken H-2B visa guest worker program; andstaying vigilant about monitoring and addressing water-borne diseases like MSX and Dermo.DredgingSecuring funds for dredging will be an ongoing project to support commerce and leisure on waterways throughout the First District. Safe navigation of waterways is vital to the economy, culture, and quality of life for our region. Inadequate water depths are extremely dangerous for watermen, recreational boaters, and commercial industries. In addition to advocating for more federal dredging resources to be allocated to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, our plan proposes developing an Eastern Shore of Maryland Regional Dredging Needs Assessment under resources available from the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (under the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as amended). The goal of this work is to have a waterway dredging project schedule for 5 to 10 years rather than on an annual or last-minute emergency basis. By creating a comprehensive strategic plan for waterway projects, we can forecast funding needs and do better long-term planning to obtain necessary permits. This work would also support a regional sediment management plan that could explore using dredging materials for coastal flood mitigation projects.Conowingo DamExcess silt and sediment flowing down the Susquehanna River from the Conowingo Dam is a particular challenge for our region. This pollution is generated upstream, primarily in Pennsylvania. The dam’s reservoir which traps pollutants is full. Heavy rain events cause flows of water to dislodge debris, sediment, and pollution from the reservoir behind the dam, causing it to spill into the lower Susquehanna River (and ultimately the Chesapeake Bay). A Maryland state study found that, on average, 20 percent of the sediment entering the Bay during storm events originates from the Conowingo Dam.Our plan proposes collaborating with the Environmental Protection Agency and bipartisan members of the Congressional Chesapeake Bay Watershed Caucus to oversee implementation of the Conowingo Watershed Implementation Plan with an urgency to address this pollution challenge – including using federal resources to incentivize state matching funds to adequately fund the CWIP’s goals.Wastewater TreatmentWastewater is used water and includes all the liquid waste from homes, offices, schools, industrial buildings, surface runoff from stormwater, or agricultural wastewater generated from confined animal operations. This water must be treated before it is released back into the environment. Keeping our water clean supports fisheries, wildlife habitats, recreation and quality of life as well as public health.The Chesapeake Bay is home to 472 municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants, and there are significant new federal resources dedicated to wastewater treatment facility upgrades. This work is vital to the health of our waterways and the fisheries that watermen rely on for their livelihoods.Another key component to cleaning up our waterways will be finding innovative solutions to address agricultural runoff. The Eastern Shore is home to some of the highest concentrations of broilers in the country with the poultry industry employing thousands of Marylanders in our region. For decades, excessive chicken litter was applied directly to agricultural fields, resulting in high nutrient levels in the Bay, algae blooms, and dead zones. How to properly manage excess poultry litter has been an ongoing challenge for our region, but an innovative public-private partnership may offer a sustainable solution to this problem.Planet Found Energy Development is a Maryland-based company of scientists, farmers, and business leaders dedicated to developing manure management technologies that will safeguard the environment as well as the economic viability of our agricultural communities in the Chesapeake Bay Region. Planet Found has built a patent-pending system for treating poultry litter and converting it into renewable energy, potting soils, and fertilizers while eliminating liquid discharge. In the process, the majority of phosphorus introduced to the system is captured as a phosphorus-based fertilizer, removing it from the nutrient cycle in sensitive agricultural and ecological environments.This project is currently being piloted on the Lower Shore in Pocomoke City but it is about to be scaled up for greater commercialization and environmental value. Planet Found has purchased 20 acres at the Princess Anne Maryland Industrial Park, where they will spend $26 million to construct a facility on nine of those acres that will be able to process 30,000 tons of poultry litter each year – while creating an additional 22 jobs for the region.As innovations like this one come to market, there is an opportunity to use agricultural technology to solve some of the most stubborn environmental challenges created by certain farming practices. Reducing agricultural runoff into our waterways and lowering our phosphorus nutrient loads will dramatically improve the health of our Chesapeake Bay. Doing so by investing in and scaling up technologies that transform poultry litter into value-added products for commercial sale is a win-win-win.My office will be dedicated to making sure Maryland is able to compete for our fair share of $238 million in new federal grants that will soon be administered through the Region III EPA Office. These funds, dedicated under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, are specifically targeted to helping with the goal of cleaning the Chesapeake Bay.Fixing the H-2B Visa ProgramMaryland’s blue crab industry relies heavily on a federal visa program which allows businesses to hire foreign workers on a temporary basis for seasonal non-agricultural jobs like seafood processing. The annual cap for these visas is set at 66,000 for the country, which is far fewer than the demand. For the six months covering the crabbing season, there were 135,000 visa requests for only 33,000 slots. There is a lottery system that is used to allocate the H-2B visas to American businesses needing them. For 2022, only one of Maryland’s ten crab picking houses involved in the program received needed visas for their workers. This has a devastating impact on the entire seafood economy of Maryland’s Eastern Shore.To fix this program, our plan proposes several new strategies. We must:Reinstate the returning workers provision which allows an automatic renewal of a visa for any returning worker without it counting against the annual cap. Congress included this language in budget bills for fiscal years 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2016 but in no year since. The returning worker provision should be automatically renewed each year.Expand the number of annual visas included under the cap to be in alignment with an annual survey of projected industry needs and explore a seafood industry carve-out under the cap.Fix the alignment of supplemental visa start dates with the seasonal employment calendar. For example, in FY22, Congress recently made available an additional 20,000 visas under the annual H-2B visa cap; however, these visas are limited to employers hiring individuals by March 31, 2022 . Maryland’s crabbing season is April 1 – September 30. This provision works against Maryland’s seafood industry benefiting from the additional visas and leaves our packing houses without needed workers during the picking season. An effective advocate for our watermen and seafood industry would make sure these new visas are not reserved for use by other states before our crabbing season even begins.Eliminate the failed lottery process and replace it with a better system. The government shouldn’t be in the business of picking winners and losers under the H-2B visa system. Lotteries do not work. Ideally, pairing the returning workers provision with an increase in allotments under the cap to align with annual industry surveys, we can get at our goal of having enough workers to meet the demand. In any season where the need for workers outstrips the allotments available under the cap, we could replace the lottery with a Governor’s state of emergency declaration which would call on the federal government to provide assistance with fast-tracking additional visas for that state’s approved needs.Waterborne Disease PreventionFinally, our work must include vigilance regarding monitoring and addressing waterborne diseases like MSX and Dermo which can decimate the public fisheries if left unchecked. While we have been in good shape in recent years, these diseases thrive in high salinity and warm waters, all of which have the potential to become more common with the threats of climate change. As additional federal legislation and funding opportunities arise to address the impacts of the climate crisis, we must keep policymakers focused on the need to fund this important work.AquacultureThe First District is home to a robust and growing economic presence from a range of private and public aquaculture assets in our region.Located in Dorchester County, Blue Oyster Environmental is a cutting-edge oyster aquaculture and nutrient credit broker, selling oyster farmer credits to municipalities and businesses looking to lower their sediment discharge numbers. The Chesapeake Bay Total Maximum Daily Load has created an environment where the role of oysters in nutrient cycling of phosphorus and nitrogen can be monetized via a nutrient trading or offset program. My office will assist the vision of BOE to become a regional leader in establishing this new credit trading market.Ferry Cove Shellfish is a commercial oyster hatchery on 70 acres in Talbot County that sells oyster larvae and seed to commercial growers.Hoopers Island Oyster Co. is an oyster farm located in Dorchester County that is a leading manufacturer of oyster aquaculture equipment that is designed, fabricated, and tested by watermen. They also sell seed and oysters and provide consulting to start up operations.AquaCon plans to build a $300 million indoor salmon farm in Federalsburg in Caroline County. By 2024, they aim to harvest 3 million fish annually, weighing 14,000 metric tons, and creating 150 jobs to start. They have a ten-year plan that includes building two more land-based salmon farms on the Eastern Shore. Use of land-based recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) are showing promising results for environmental impacts and help reduce food imports.Oyster farms throughout the region run from places like Orchard Point Oyster on the Chester River and Eastern Bay in Kent and Queen Anne’s Counties, Harris Creek Oyster Co. and Mudgies Oyster Farm in Talbot County, Pirates Cove Oyster Company in Dorchester County, to Coastal Maryland Oyster Company in Worcester County, just to name a few. We are even home to coral reef and clam farming specialists at Pacific East Aquaculture in Wicomico County.The University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science operates the Horn Point Oyster Hatchery in Dorchester County which produces oyster larvae for research, restoration, and education projects. Spawning oysters from the Horn Point Hatchery have deployed over one billion spat to the waters of the Chesapeake Bay over the past decade.The Maryland Sea Grant, one of 34 university-based programs across the county, is federally funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and is housed under the UM Center for Environmental Science, and supports the work of Extension agents and specialists who provide technical assistance to support Maryland’s aquaculture industry as well as the restoration of wild oysters in the Bay.In October 2021, NOAA announced a 5-year, $30 million grant to support the Living Marine Resources Science Center at University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) which conducts collaborative research projects in areas such as stock assessment, essential fish habitat, and sustainable aquaculture.Through these examples, it is easy to see how the aquaculture industry’s presence is growing in our region. My office will work with the First District’s aquaculture industry to determine opportunities for additional federal grants and financial assistance services.An example of some of these federally-available resources include NOAA’s Competitive Grant Programs for Aquaculture:Fisheries Finance Program provides long-term (up to 25 years) fixed rate financing for the costs of refurbishing, modernization or purchasing of existing fishing vessels, fisheries facilities, or aquaculture facilitiesNational Marine Aquaculture Initiative is a national competitive grant program funding aquaculture demonstrations projects and research, with a particular focus on technology development.Regional Aquaculture Pilot Projects focus on promising but less commercially developed technologies for newcomers to the domestic aquaculture industry like finfish, shellfish, seaweed.It is important to also note the need to reform this industry’s complex regulatory framework, which involves multiple jurisdictions, laws, regulations, and agencies involved in protecting public health, conserving environmental resources, and regulating commerce. My congressional office will provide oversight and engagement on the implementation of the National Science & Technology Council’s strategic plan to enhance regulatory efficiency in aquaculture.9. Arts and CultureRecognize the role arts and humanities can play as a catalyst for tourism, jobs, and regional economic growth.A thriving arts and culture scene in the First District is paramount to a healthy local economy. The arts provide jobs, engage tourists interested in culture, attract and retain a creative workforce, and generate tax revenue.According to the Maryland State Arts Council, in 2019, an estimated 11.2 million people attended arts events, classes, and workshops in Maryland, spending over $294 million and generating $45.7 million in state and local tax revenue.The U.S. Commerce Department estimates that in 2019, Maryland added 2.7 percent or $11.7 billion to the state economy from arts and cultural production and employed 79,866 workers who earned wages and benefits totaling more than $6.3 billion. But outside of the benefits of the arts scene itself, our downtown districts and local small businesses also benefit from a thriving arts district. Restaurant and bar owners in the First District especially appreciate arts and cultural activities for driving business to their doors. We have incredible arts institutions, museums, galleries, studios, and venues – public and private – throughout the First District that deserve a relentless champion who understands the important economic role the arts play in each and every one of our communities.In Congress, I will proudly advocate for funding that promotes a strong community arts scene, for the benefit of not just those who are employed by or enjoy participating in the arts, but also for local small businesses and the vitality of entire communities. My office will seek to educate stakeholders about the benefits of arts and cultural production, arts education, and the need for robust arts funding as a driver of local economies.10. Defense and CybersecurityProvide support for growing defense technologies and create new defense and cybersecurity jobs in the First District.Our local defense industries are an important employer and contributor to national security. The First District is home to multiple federal laboratories, military bases, and a neighboring NASA flight facility:the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Chemical Biological Center in Edgewood;the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defense in Edgewood;the CCDC-C5ISR Center in Aberdeen;and the U.S. Army Aberdeen Test Center (ATC), part of the U.S. Army Developmental Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC)the Army’s Aberdeen Proving Groundand NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility on Wallops Island, Virginia (neighboring us on the border with Virginia’s Eastern Shore)Federal employees and military personnel staffing these laboratories, bases, and NASA flight facility, are an important part of the First District workforce and I am dedicated to assuring strong support and advocacy for funding requests to keep their missions strong.HypersonicsIn recent years, there has been growing federal interest in advancing the development and production of hypersonic weapons, missiles that travel at hypersonic speed (generally defined as Mach 5 or greater). With the right foresight and advocacy, hypersonic weapon development could be centered in the First District, which is already a strong military technology hub. This could provide numerous good-paying jobs for the people of the First District.In July 2021, Northrop Grumman broke ground on a Hypersonics Center of Excellence in Elkton to provide full lifecycle production for hypersonic weapons, from design and development to production and integration. Construction is expected to conclude by 2023.The Pentagon’s FY2022 budget request for hypersonic research is $3.8 billion. Our EconomyFirst plan supports making the First District a “Hypersonics Center of Excellence” by drawing in additional federal resources to support this work through commercial industry, academia, and federal agencies and labs in our region.Maryland is well-situated to grow our work in hypersonics research and testing by expanding our wind tunnel capacity and capabilities either through federal partners (laboratories and bases), private partners, or academic institutions (such as the High-Speed Aerodynamics and Propulsion Laboratory [HAPL] at the University of Maryland’s A. James Clark School of Engineering).There are appropriate questions Congress must ask as it reviews the Pentagon’s plans for U.S. hypersonic weapons programs – including rationale and feasibility, defined mission requirements, expected costs, implications for strategic stability and arms control concerns. But should the Congress move forward with ongoing investment in this work, we must put First District expertise, opportunities, and priorities at the forefront of national competition for these resources.CybersecurityMaryland is home to many federal, commercial, and academic cybersecurity assets and I support putting federal resources into growing this sector’s influence in our region as an economic engine.There are more than 12,000 IT and cybersecurity companies as well as more than sixty government agencies focused on cyber-crime in Maryland.The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law allocated $2 billion to cybersecurity, about half of which is dedicated to state and local governments through the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency which will fund grants over four years. The Cyber Response and Recovery Fund will receive $100 million over five years. The cybersecurity spending will reach across federal and local IT networks to help organizations respond to cyberattacks.I will also advocate for federal support for private cybersecurity companies in our region as well as organizations like CyberAg – a program of the Eastern Shore Entrepreneurship Center. CyberAg is an organization that provides cybersecurity outreach, awareness, education, and access to resources for the agriculture and food supply chain in our region.It matters who we elect to represent us in Congress.I hope I have earned your trust and your vote.If you give me the honor to represent you, I will work hard every day to deliver the results I have outlined in this blueprint for economic development for our region. I dare say that in the mere writing of this plan, I have already put more thought and work into our region’s economic future than Andy Harris has devoted to this topic in almost twelve years as our Representative. I am running for Congress to be the fierce advocate we deserve; to wake up every day looking for new ways to help lower the cost of living, create better jobs, and put more money in your pockets. It’s not enough for me to make the case on why I want you to fire Andy Harris. It’s my job to make you excited to hire me. I want to work for you. I am a skilled legislator with a reputation as a pragmatic consensus builder who knows how to get things done. I ask for your trust and confidence that I will give you everything I have to take this plan and turn it into meaningful action that will improve life for you, your families, and our communities which we so dearly love. I am ready to be your Congresswoman. Let’s get to work!Agri-Climate Solutions for Maryland’s Eastern ShoreFor far too long, prevailing conventional wisdom has been that environmentalists and farmers will always be at odds over the impact of government policies, oversight, and regulation. It’s time to change that.By adopting a collaborative approach to these issues, we can think with imagination and innovation about the ways that our agricultural communities can be a part of our climate solutions and how farmers can benefit from these practices.We need a strategy that supports our farmers as they deal with the negative effects of climate change and one that also supports the agricultural practices that will help address the severe, immediate climate crisis that we all face.Maryland—and especially the Eastern Shore—is highly vulnerable to the current and future effects of climate change. When it comes to rising sea levels, our region has the dual misfortune of the threat of rising waters of the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries as well as sinking land. Our farmers stand to lose the most if we fail to act on the threats of saltwater intrusion, coastal flooding, and severe weather events—but our vibrant agricultural community also stands to benefit the most when we think creatively about how to partner for success.Creating a National Soil Health InitiativeSuccessful agricultural communities depend on the quality and health of the soil that is feeding their crops. As the effects of climate change are dramatically impacting soil conditions, we must get ahead of the curve on mitigating these challenges by supporting a robust and visionary plan to create a new project called the National Soil Health Initiative (NSHI) through the USDA that would address the problems of saltwater intrusion, reform key conservation programs, and leverage greater use of carbon farming which can boost soil health and store carbon in the soil, positively impact the climate crisis, and contribute to agricultural resilience. This project could begin as a pilot program for the Delmarva / Chesapeake Bay region to prove its benefits before rolling it out as a national program.Farming Carbon: Soil-Based SequestrationWhile certain agricultural practices can release net carbon emissions, others do the opposite by sequestering carbon from the atmosphere into the soil. Scientists estimate that each year, soils could sequester over a billion extra tons of carbon. However, we must support the implementation and continuation of carbon storing practices to achieve maximum soil carbon outcomes.There is a growing carbon credit market providing an opportunity for farmers to get paid for mitigating the effects of climate change through soil-based carbon sequestration.Large corporations who want to offset their carbon footprint are in the market to buy carbon credits. Farmers generate carbon credits they can sell in this marketplace when they go through the process of certifying and calculating the carbon they store in the soil through practices using cover crops, diversified crop rotation, use of natural inputs such as compost, conversion to perennial grasses and other conservation cover, reducing chemical inputs, and pastured rotational animal production, to name a few.To address this potential, the NSHI will invest in research to test and identify optimal carbon storage practices and will facilitate the tracking and measurement of organic matter and soil carbon to help drive best practices and maximize participation in carbon markets. The program will assist with the transition to and continuation of practices which achieve optimal per-acre carbon storage.The National Soil Health Initiative will expand and scale opportunities for more farms to sequester carbon in the soil by providing:Technical assistanceand educational resources for land managers and farmers seeking to measure their carbon sequestration efforts and to learn techniques that are best suited for their land and which will optimize soil carbon storage.Financial incentivesthat will drive adoption (including transition costs, financial risk management, and grants for equipment needs). The USDA will explore utilizing the Commodity Credit Corporation to pilot best practices that store carbon in soil, utilizing an outcomes-based rather than performance-based framework for incentive payments.Research & Developmentthat will set a centralized, coordinated, and expanded research vision for this work within the USDA.Technology incentivesfor equipment modification so that compost turners, roller-crimpers, no-till vegetable seeders, flame weeders, and other necessary tools for regenerative farming practices are available and affordable for mid/small-sized farmsMeasurement, monitoring, and verificationwill be improved through new processes, standards, software technologies, and data inventories through robust soil surveys needed to advance soil carbon science. Critically important soil health parameters such as organic matter and soil carbon will be measured and verified.Reforming Conservation ProgramsThe USDA has an alphabet soup of programs that collectively work to conserve land by compensating farmers and landowners who voluntarily engage in conservation practices. The NSHI will advance some key reforms to these programs by:Increasing rental payments under the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) for projects tied to climate-conscious practices that focus on increasing organic matter, soil carbon, and soil health as well as better management of nutrient runoff into waterways. CRP will also add educational and technical assistance programs to inform landowners of available programs and assist with participation and enrollment.Updating the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) and Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) to give weighted priority to projects devoted to soil-boosting practices which provide optimal per-acre carbon storage outcomes.Using the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) to provide federal bonus payments to farmers enrolled in state cover crop programs, effectively leveraging additional state funds for this purpose and maximizing enrollment in existing state cover crop programs. CREP will also authorize incentive payments for rewarding best practices in measured outcomes for soil carbon storage.Amending conservation programs to put an increased emphasis on helping farmers create individualized soil health plans, including plans for soil carbon storage.Amending conservation programs to allow farmers to receive rental payments for land that is no longer suitable for agriculture because of saltwater intrusion if they install some form of alternative and sustainable energy source on that marginal land.Boosting Technical Assistance and Decreasing Administrative BurdensUSDA programs supporting soil health and soil carbon storage, education, and assistance are underfunded and oversubscribed. There is a significant need for more federal investment in technical assistance and support throughout all USDA programs to meet the growing demand. The Natural Resources Conservation Service and its Soil Conservation Districts is just one example of where we must invest in more technical assistance offerings to help farmers implement robust soil health plans that are envisioned under the NSHI. In addition to program expansion, the NSHI is dedicated to decreasing administrative burdens that can limit access and engagement in these programs.Addressing Saltwater IntrusionIn addition to severe weather events, rising sea levels also pose a significant threat to our farming traditions as saltwater intrusion dramatically impacts growing conditions. As saltwater leaches from the Bay onto our fields and into our aquifers, the rising salinity level in the soil makes it challenging to grow an array of cash crops that have become staples for our region.To address these challenges, the NSHI will invest in research to test and determine which cash crops are most capable of withstanding salty soils and periodic flooding; track salinity changes over time in groundwater wells and surface water; and map these areas as a way to highlight where it will be most cost-effective to implement adaptation measures such as planting salt-tolerant crops. The NSHI will also make changes to existing conservation programs to inform landowners of available programs and ease transition of impacted farmland to marsh fields that will protect biodiversity and improve carbon storage.Crop Insurance: Keeping it Affordable and Rewarding Good Climate PracticesThe Federal Crop Insurance Program (FCIP) protects farmers from the impacts of unpredictable weather but as insurance claims increase because of severe weather events, farmers may be faced with higher premiums to keep the program solvent. The USDA projects that the severity of predicted climate change could cause FCIP costs to increase by up to 22 percent. We must ensure that farmers are not bearing the burden of these increased costs through higher premiums for their crop insurance. A better approach is to make fossil fuel companies pay for climate mitigation and devote a portion of that funding towards FCIP solvency.In addition to keeping crop insurance premiums from rising, the USDA should reward farmers with lower FCIP premiums if they are using best practices to make crops more resilient against severe weather.Farmers who increase organic matter and carbon in the soil can produce more climate resilient crops, which withstand the extreme and unpredictable swings between drought and heavy rains. These practices contribute to more resilient yields and reduced federal crop insurance claims; however, the USDA gives no consideration to whether a farmer deploys these practices when determining crop insurance premiums. By modernizing this program to give farmers credit for good climate practices through lowered FCIP premiums, the USDA would create an incentive that is good for the farmer as well as the land.Transforming Poultry Litter Into Biofuel and Potting SoilThe Eastern Shore is home to some of the highest concentrations of broilers in the country with the poultry industry employing thousands of Marylanders in our region. For decades, excessive chicken litter was applied directly to agricultural fields, resulting in high nutrient levels in the Bay, algae blooms, and dead zones. How to properly manage excess poultry litter has been an ongoing challenge for our region, but an innovative public-private partnership may offer a sustainable solution to this problem.Planet Found Energy Development is a Maryland-based company of scientists, farmers, and business leaders dedicated to developing manure management technologies that will safeguard the environment as well as the economic viability of our agricultural communities in the Chesapeake Bay Region. Planet Found has built a patent-pending system for treating poultry litter and converting it into renewable energy, potting soils, and fertilizers while eliminating liquid discharge. In the process, the majority of phosphorus introduced to the system is captured as a phosphorus-based fertilizer, removing it from the nutrient cycle in sensitive agricultural and ecological environments.This project is currently being piloted on the Lower Shore in Pocomoke City. As innovations like this one come to market, there is an opportunity to use agricultural technology to solve some of the most stubborn environmental challenges created by certain farming practices. Reducing agricultural runoff into our waterways and lowering our phosphorus nutrient loads will dramatically improve the health of our Chesapeake Bay. Doing so by investing in and scaling up technologies that transform poultry litter into value-added products for commercial sale is a win-win-win.This Agri-Climate plan envisions a world where Eastern Shore- and Maryland-based companies with next generation solutions to agricultural and environmental challenges benefit from strong public sector support and advocacy. To start, we must make sure we compete for our fair share of $250 million in new federal grants that will soon be administered through the Region III EPA Office specifically targeted to helping with the goal of cleaning the Chesapeake Bay.Send a Farmer-Conservationist to Congress to Represent YouI come from a long line of family farmers. Agriculture and the love of land runs deep in my DNA.Driving a combine with my uncles through the corn fields or watching the loader fill the bean wagons are images of my youth that I cherish. I spent my middle and high school summers working in the fields each season as a detasseler for a seed corn company to save money for college. Friends have always joked, “you can take Heather out of the cornfields, but you can’t take the cornfields out of Heather.”For the past ten years, my spouse and I have owned a small 34-acre organic farm in Kent County that is our forever home. We see ourselves as stewards and work to always be in right relationship to the land and its habitats and ecosystems.It is in the spirit of a farmer-conservationist that I sponsored a roundtable discussion which gathered local stakeholders ranging from farmers and environmentalists to academics, non-profit leaders, and industry entrepreneurs to discuss ideas for how agricultural policies can partner to help solve our climate crisis.This Agri-Climate plan is the result of this collaboration. I am dedicated to delivering representation to our Congressional district that truly listens, seeks input from all stakeholders, and generates policy solutions that will advance exciting and innovative solutions to solve some of our biggest challenges. I am a skilled legislator who knows how to turn a plan into action, ideas into law. I am ready to be your Congresswoman.Health Care: Expanding Access, Lowering Costs, Improving CoverageFix the car, or call the doctor and get your chest pains checked out? Pay that overdue rent, or fill the prescription for your kid’s insulin? No one should have to face such agonizing choices, and yet worries like these keep many First District residents up at night. That’s why I have long advocated for an affordable health care system that covers every single person. This issue hits home in our District, where many traditional occupations – such as farming and fishing – are dangerous and lack employer-provided health insurance.I will bring to Washington a combination of dedication and expertise on this issue. I wrote Senator John Kerry’s health care platform for his presidential campaign, and for years was one of the Maryland General Assembly’s most vocal leaders on the issue. I partnered with a conservative Republican to enact the Family Planning Works Act to give all low-income women in Maryland access to free family planning services. Long before the federal Affordable Care Act extended a lifeline to millions of Americans, I worked to expand access right here in Maryland. The Kids First Act that I wrote enrolled thousands of children who qualified for care but had fallen through the cracks, and my Family Coverage Expansion Act made Maryland one of the first states to allow young people to stay on their family health plans until age 26. Both laws went on to serve as national models.In Congress, I will push to finish the job of making access to affordable health care truly universal. I will seek to expand who qualifies for coverage, improve the benefits packages, and will work to bring down out-of-pocket costs through better subsidies and copayment rules. I also support allowing Medicare to negotiate directly with drug companies to reduce Rx prices. And I will prioritize our rural health care needs by focusing on ways to attract more and better health care providers to our region and promote policies that will keep rural hospitals and clinics open and thriving, ensuring First District residents don’t lose their access to care.[20]”—Heather Mizeur's campaign website (2022)[21]", 'Heather Mizeur campaign contribution historyYearOfficeStatusContributionsExpenditures2022U.S. House Maryland District 1Lost general$2,774,381$2,765,6132014Maryland Governor/Lt.

Also unlike regular delegates, they were not required to pledge their support to any presidential candidate, and they were not bound by the results of their state's presidential primary election or caucus. In 2016, superdelegates included members of the Democratic National Committee, Democratic members of Congress, Democratic governors, and distinguished party leaders, including former presidents and vice presidents. All superdelegates were free to support any presidential candidate of their choosing at the 2016 Democratic National Convention.[25]Maryland primary resultsSee also:Presidential election in Maryland, 2016Hillary Clintonwon Maryland's Democratic primary, defeatingBernie Sandersby nearly 30 percent.[26]In a CNN exit poll, Clinton swept voters over age 30 while Sanders swept voters age 18 to 29.

JordanIncumbent(unopposed)', '', '', '', "What would be your top three priorities, if elected?“My top three priorities would be improving our public education system, Pre-K through post-secondary; ensuring healthcare is affordable and accessible to all citizens no matter economic circumstance; and protecting and managing our state resources to keep public lands in public hands and our air, soil, and water clean for us and future generations of Idahoans.[18][19]”What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?“I’m extremely passionate about public education, because that is the foundation that determines how successful our state will be economically. With a world-class public education, our children receive the training and skill sets needed to enter into the work force with the ability to advance and earn a livable wage. Our capacity to find innovative and creative solutions to current ecological and economic issues depends on an educated work force, and it should be our state’s top priority to fund an educational system that best serves our children.Cite error: Invalid<ref>tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[19]”Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Paulette Jordan answered the following:Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow and why?“I look up to the generations of leaders that came before me—the mentors I’ve watched and worked to emulate my entire life. My ancestors were great leaders in the Coeur d’ Alene tribe and their communities because they felt it was their calling. I’m a leader in my tribe and community because I listened and learned from them, which instilled in me the moral compass and passion for public service that I have today.[19]”What qualities do you possess that would make you a successful officeholder?“I am a leader for the people. I recognize that my job is to listen with an open heart and mind to the citizens of this state, and make decisions that reflect these voices. I am not beholden to political affiliation or an inflated ego, I care only that I am serving the state and all its constituents to the best of my ability. This means listening to both sides of the aisle and helping to leverage compromise, defending the rights of all people not just the privileged few, and having the integrity to stand up for what is right.[19]”What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?“I believe a governor is responsible for providing the leadership necessary to make state government effective and efficient. Part of this effectiveness relies on transparency—ensuring the public knows what legislation is being debated and the intention behind the bill sponsorship. The governor is responsible for guaranteeing, as the last vote, that policies being put in place always reflect the interest of the people and will benefit the state as a whole.[19]”What do you believe is the ideal relationship between the governor and state legislature?“The ideal relationship is a partnership that’s shared goal is to work together to put forth solutions and policies that will better the state, despite party lines.[19]”What do you love most about your state?“I love the community and the commitment to looking out for each other. We care about one another and will go to great lengths to help our neighbors. I love the landscapes and the beauty of the natural resources Idaho provides.[19]”What do you perceive to be your state's greatest challenges over the next decade?“Our greatest challenge will be putting our differences aside to focus on creating the best possible opportunities for all our citizens. If we remain divisive, our state will suffer, and that means we all suffer. It’s time to come together to make Idaho the best state it can be.[19]”", '', "2020 ElectionsWhat's on the ballot?U.S. PresidentU.S. CongressU.S. Congress special electionsState executivesState legislaturesState courtsBallot measuresMunicipal governmentSchool boardsElection analysis hubGovernmentWho represents me?U.S. CongressState executivesState legislatorsState courtsBallot measuresMunicipal governmentSchool boardsNewslettersCoronavirus Weekly UpdatesDocumenting America's Path to RecoveryThe Heart of the PrimariesThe Daily BrewThe Weekly BrewThe Ballot BulletinChecks and BalancesEconomy and SocietyHall PassNumber of the DayRobe & GavelUnion Station", "2020 ElectionsWhat's on the ballot?U.S. PresidentU.S. CongressU.S. Congress special electionsState executivesState legislaturesState courtsBallot measuresMunicipal governmentSchool boardsElection analysis hub", '', '', 'GovernmentWho represents me?U.S. CongressState executivesState legislatorsState courtsBallot measuresMunicipal governmentSchool boards', '', '', "NewslettersCoronavirus Weekly UpdatesDocumenting America's Path to RecoveryThe Heart of the PrimariesThe Daily BrewThe Weekly BrewThe Ballot BulletinChecks and BalancesEconomy and SocietyHall PassNumber of the DayRobe & GavelUnion Station", '', '', 'Suggest a link', '', '', '↑East Idaho News, "Rep.

As he travels the state meeting with North Carolinians, Cal will seek input and feedback on the issues that matter most to folks across the state, which will help guide his vision for moving our state forward.Lower Cost, Accessible Health CareOne of the most frequent issues Cal hears about as he travels across the state is the urgent need to improve access and bring down the cost of health care for families – and that is exactly what he will fight for in the U.S. Senate. North Carolinians continue to struggle with the rising cost of premiums, co-pays, and prescription drugs, and there are still more than 1 million people in our state without any coverage at all.Cal knows our health care system isn’t perfect and there are real issues Congress needs to work together to fix. In the Senate, Cal will fight to strengthen and extend coverage under the Affordable Care Act, expand Medicaid in North Carolina, create a public health insurance option, support rural hospitals, address doctor shortages, support life-saving research to prevent and treat diseases like cancer and HIV/AIDS, and ensure no one loses their employer-sponsored coverage who wants to keep it. Cal will also work to lower the cost of prescription drugs through efforts like allowing Medicare to negotiate directly with pharmaceutical companies.Cal will oppose any effort in Washington to cut Medicare benefits, and he will stand up against the politicians and special interests that want to repeal the Affordable Care Act, gut protections for people who have a pre-existing medical condition, and allow big insurance companies to impose what the AARP calls an “age tax” on older North Carolinians that could cost them thousands of dollars more. In the Senate, Cal will also do everything he can to stop the dangerous lawsuit pushed forward by Washington Republicans that would dismantle the Affordable Care Act and its protections.Cal has been endorsed by the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare for his commitment to protecting these vital programs.Economic Opportunity for AllCal believes that the only economy that truly works is an economy that generates opportunities for everyone. Right now, though, the economy is steeply tilted in favor of the wealthy few and against regular families struggling to keep up with the rising cost of college, housing, and medical care and still make ends meet. Growing income and wealth inequality in our country is being fueled by the recent tax law that overwhelmingly benefits the largest corporations and the ultra-wealthy while leaving middle-class and poor families further behind and leaving us with a pile of debt for future generations.Cal will fight for a more equitable economy and living wage in every community by standing with workers to support efforts to promote good-paying full-time jobs with benefits, rein in the cost of higher education and health care, defend workplace protections, and finally raise the minimum wage. And at a time when women in North Carolina and across the country still don’t earn equal pay for equal work, Cal will support efforts to close the wage gap and ensure paycheck fairness for all women.Agriculture is one of the most important parts of North Carolina’s economy, and Cal will work in the Senate to defend North Carolina’s farming families against reckless tariffs and revitalize rural communities through economic development and investments in priorities like expanding access to rural broadband.Cal recognizes that too many communities across North Carolina have seen generations of economic inequality due to institutionalized racial discrimination and the resulting disparities in inter-generational wealth. He believes we need innovative policies that break down historical barriers and encourage capital investment in communities of color and minority-owned businesses to reverse the legacy of economic injustice.Cal also believes we need to make investments in our nation’s infrastructure, in the research and development that drives innovation, in North Carolina’s growing technology and biotechnology sectors, and in our human capital by supporting strong public education.Cal has been endorsed by a number of professional organizations that share his commitment to growing the middle class including: NC State AFL-CIO, Communications Workers Of America Local 3611, International Brotherhood Of Electrical Workers & Carolinas Electrical Workers Association, the Professional Fire Fighters and Paramedics of North Carolina, Teamsters Local 391, and UNITE HERE Local 23.Improving EducationThe quality of our children’s education shouldn’t depend on where they grow up, their family circumstances, their race, their wealth, or a disability, and Cal believes that public education—and the investments we make in our children through schools—should be an engine of opportunity for all North Carolinians.Cal will fight to pay teachers what they deserve, to develop, respect, and strengthen the profession, and to recruit, train, and retain the best educators for our students. This means doing more to make sure the profession is reflective of the diversity of the students and families it serves, with particular emphasis on recruiting African American and Latinx people into the profession.Cal also knows how critical it is that our students have the support they need to pursue their dreams, and Cal supports a national strategy to invest in opportunity through public schools including by fully funding Title I and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, to provide schools the resources they need to succeed and close significant funding gaps between districts. In addition, rural districts need stable and reliable funding to deliver supplemental support services to meet their special needs. Cal also supports investment in specialized instructional support personnel — the counselors, psychologists, and other professionals—who address children’s unique academic and developmental needs, so every child can thrive in school.Cal is a longtime supporter of early childhood education, including having voted in the state Senate to start what is now North Carolina Pre-K, and is committed to investment in our children through Head Start and other early childhood programs that address the needs of the whole child. To build capacity to deliver early childhood education, we need to develop a more robust pipeline of early childhood educators.The opportunity to pursue higher education should be available to anyone who seeks it and not just a privilege for those who can afford it. In the Senate, Cal will lead the fight to lower the cost of college, expand access to community college and technical training, and reduce the burden of student loan debt. North Carolina also has a proud tradition of strong public universities and our Historically Black Colleges and Universities are a critical part of our higher education system. Cal will work to ensure the federal government increases investment and support for these important institutions.Cal is also proud of the policy work his wife Elizabeth has done to advance high-quality public education in North Carolina. He trusts the education of his own two children to the public schools of North Carolina and wants all of North Carolina’s children to experience the best our state’s public schools have to offer.Cal is proud to have the endorsement of the North Carolina Association of Educators in his campaign.Taking on Climate Change & Protecting North Carolina’s EnvironmentNorth Carolina has seen the effects of climate change firsthand through the historic storms and flooding that have ravaged our state — which is why Cal knows this is one of the most urgent issues facing us. He believes that in order to combat this crisis, we need to invest in a clean energy economy that will create good-paying jobs, reduce carbon pollution, and make North Carolina a leader. Solar energy is already spreading across this state, providing good-paying jobs for our workers and economic investment in rural areas. North Carolina has the research facilities to design the next generation solar panels and the manufacturing base to lead on solar energy and Cal intends to help that happen.North Carolina has also seen coal ash spills, drinking water tainted by GenX, and rapid loss of open space, and Cal believes we need to do more to protect North Carolina’s environment and natural resources. As a State Senator, Cal helped pass landmark clean air legislation that reduced harmful pollutants from coal-fired power plants by over 80%, and key land preservation legislation. In the private sector, Cal represented clients exposed to environmental hazards in the workplace and worked for an award-winning environmental company in Raleigh.Cal is proud to have been endorsed by the League of Conservation Voters and the Sierra Club for his strong commitment to fighting climate change and building a clean energy economy.Protecting Women’s Health & RightsCal believes that a woman’s choice is a woman’s right. That’s why he will always defend Roe v. Wade against partisan attacks and knows there is no place for a politician in a conversation between a woman and her doctor. Cal believes in ensuring women have access to reproductive care, and he is strongly opposed to partisan efforts in Washington to attack and defund Planned Parenthood, which provides health care services to thousands of North Carolinians.Cal is proud to be endorsed by Planned Parenthood and NARAL for his commitment to protecting women’s health care.Preventing Gun ViolenceAs an Army veteran who has been trained to use a firearm, Cal understands the responsibility that comes with carrying a weapon. He also knows, as the father of two, the fear that parents experience when they drop their kids off at school and wonder if they will come home safe.Cal believes there are commonsense steps we can take to protect our communities from gun violence while protecting the rights of law-abiding citizens. Cal will work to keep our kids safe and to keep guns out of the hands of domestic abusers, criminals, and terrorists by supporting efforts to expand background checks, ban the sale of high-capacity magazines, pass extreme risk laws, and fund gun violence research on an issue that has become a public health crisis. He is also proud of his work on Governor Cooper’s Crime Commission creating recommendations to curb the risk of school shootings.Cal has been endorsed by Brady and Giffords, two groups leading the fight to prevent gun violence.Fixing Our Broken Immigration SystemAs an Army veteran, Cal takes the safety and security of North Carolinians seriously, including border security. He also knows we can keep America safe without compromising America’s values to be a leader to the world when it comes to freedom and liberty.Cal believes we must pass comprehensive immigration reform that fixes our broken system and modernizes it for the economy of today, grows North Carolina’s economy, protects DREAMers, and provides a fair pathway to citizenship. Instead of separating families and caging children, we should be investing in the necessary technology and trained staff to secure our borders. What we need are leaders with the courage to reject the politics of fear and work across party lines to pass comprehensive reform.Reforming Broken WashingtonCal believes that political corruption in Washington is a fundamental barrier to progress for our state and country.As North Carolina’s next Senator, Cal will fight for campaign finance reform, fair maps, independent redistricting, and a political system that empowers voters to make their voices heard. Cal has pledged not to accept any corporate PAC money, and he supports overturning the Supreme Court’s disastrous Citizens United decision that has allowed unlimited dark money to pour into our elections. He also believes the Senate should reform the filibuster rule that is too often abused by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to promote gridlock and stop votes on important legislation that would help North Carolina’s hardworking families. Cal has personally pledged never to become a lobbyist after serving in the Senate and believes we need to end that revolving door.Cal is proud to have been endorsed by End Citizens United and the Voter Protection Project because of his strong support for fixing our democracy and getting big money out of politics.Respecting Our VeteransCal believes we owe our men and women in uniform, and their families, a debt that can never fully be repaid, and there can be no excuses when it comes to fighting for their well-being, both on and off the battlefield.Cal is an Army veteran who has served three active duty tours, including in Iraq and Afghanistan, and still serves in the Army Reserves. Looking out for North Carolina’s veterans and military families is personal to him.Military service is also part of North Carolina’s DNA, and our leaders in Washington should be unwavering in their support of our service members and military families. To Cal, that means fighting for military project funding in North Carolina, working to ensure the Department of Veterans Affairs runs efficiently and leaves no veteran behind, supporting our troops who are wrestling with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in order to lower the suicide rate among those who served, and expanding educational and job opportunities for veterans when they return to civilian life. In particular, the VA needs additional resources to support the growing ranks of women who serve, including to address incidences of domestic and sexual assault.Cal is proud to be endorsed by VoteVets and Serve America PAC, two groups committed to electing more veterans to elected services.Protecting and Expanding Voting RightsThe right for citizens to make their voices heard at the ballot box is fundamental to our democracy, and Cal will work to protect and expand the right to vote so that all eligible, law-abiding citizens can participate in our elections.Cal supports efforts to expand access to voting and prevent voter suppression, like restoring the Voting Rights Act, extending early voting, and making it easier to register to vote by enacting reforms like automatic voter registration and making Election Day a federal holiday. He will also oppose efforts that restrict the right to vote, like unnecessarily purging voters from the rolls.Cal is endorsed by the Voter Protection Project because of his commitment to making sure every eligible North Carolinian has the right to cast a ballot.Equal RightsCal believes that the story of North Carolina belongs to all of us. The story of North Carolina is still being written, and we must make the next chapter as one that fairly includes everyone, no matter who they are, who they love, or the color of their skin.For Cal, that means standing with the LGBTQI community and communities of color in the fight against regressive policies. Cal supports advancing the long-overdue passage of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), passing the Equality Act to protect LGBTQI North Carolinians from discrimination in housing and the workplace, reforming our criminal justice system, and restoring the Voting Rights Act so that our elected representatives reflect the will of the people.Cal also believes we need vigorous enforcement of our nation’s civil rights laws to tear down the vestiges of discrimination and open the doors of opportunity to all North Carolinians.Cal is proud to be endorsed by Equality NC and the Human Rights Campaign.Reforming our Criminal Justice SystemCal is committed to criminal justice reform. More than 2 million Americans are in prison and another 5 million are in jail or on parole on any given day. That exacts a tremendous social and economic cost from this country, which is why Cal believes we should revisit mandatory minimum sentences for non-violent offenders.Because prisons and jails are not a substitute for mental health and substance abuse services, Cal is in favor of refocusing efforts on preventing violent crime instead of locking up people who, more than anything, need mental health or addiction treatment. Cal draws inspiration from the recommendations in the Task Force on Twenty-First Century Policing for ways to strengthen the relationship between law enforcement and the communities it serves.We should also work to reduce recidivism by investing in programs and supports that give people who have paid their debt to society the opportunity to re-enter their communities with dignity and contribute to their families and neighborhoods. Cal also supports innovations in restorative justice, curbing the abuse of cash bail, eliminating for-profit prisons, and allowing states to develop their own regulation and taxation of cannabis, while putting resources into public health and substance abuse treatment.As a former Army prosecutor who litigated cases of sexual assault and as a former Vice Chairman of Governor Cooper’s Crime Commission, Cal understands that too often, our justice system has failed many North Carolinians, especially young people of color and those with limited means. Cal is proud of his work on the Governor’s Crime Commission, where he served as chair of the Task Force to Improve Staffing and Security in North Carolina’s Prisons. He also helped lead the Commission’s work to address the “school-to-prison pipeline” and advocated for better funding and coordination of multi-disciplinary programs to support at-risk youth.Keeping Our Country SafeCal believes there is nothing more important to ensuring the safety of our nation than smart diplomacy and a forward-thinking foreign policy strategy that ensures we’re working with our global allies and staying tough on our adversaries like North Korea, Iran and Russia.After the attacks on September 11, 2001, Cal volunteered to join the U.S. Army Reserve and has since served three active duty tours, including overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was awarded the Bronze Star and the prestigious General Douglas MacArthur Leadership Award, in part for groundbreaking work prosecuting contractors for criminal misconduct, and the last three years he has trained special operations forces at Fort Bragg.As someone who served and who comes from a long line of veterans, he understands the consequences that a reckless foreign policy can have on our military personnel and their families. Whether it’s investing in securing our electric grid, bolstering cybersecurity, or defending our elections against foreign interference, Cal believes we need a strong national defense that is focused on what we need to do to protect ourselves in the 21st century. As North Carolina’s next Senator, Cal will work to invest in the training and professional development of our service members who keep us safe and secure around the world, and he will never allow military project funding that benefits troops and their families to be raided by politicians in Washington for partisan purposes.Cal is proud to be endorsed by foreign policy groups like the Foreign Policy for American Action Network.[1]”—Cal Cunningham’s campaign website (2020)[2]', '', "2020 ElectionsWhat's on the ballot?U.S. PresidentU.S. CongressU.S. Congress special electionsState executivesState legislaturesState courtsBallot measuresMunicipal governmentSchool boardsElection analysis hubGovernmentWho represents me?U.S. CongressState executivesState legislatorsState courtsBallot measuresMunicipal governmentSchool boardsNewslettersCoronavirus Weekly UpdatesDocumenting America's Path to RecoveryThe Heart of the PrimariesThe Daily BrewThe Weekly BrewThe Ballot BulletinChecks and BalancesEconomy and SocietyHall PassNumber of the DayRobe & GavelUnion Station", "2020 ElectionsWhat's on the ballot?U.S. PresidentU.S. CongressU.S. Congress special electionsState executivesState legislaturesState courtsBallot measuresMunicipal governmentSchool boardsElection analysis hub", '', '', 'GovernmentWho represents me?U.S. CongressState executivesState legislatorsState courtsBallot measuresMunicipal governmentSchool boards', '', '', "NewslettersCoronavirus Weekly UpdatesDocumenting America's Path to RecoveryThe Heart of the PrimariesThe Daily BrewThe Weekly BrewThe Ballot BulletinChecks and BalancesEconomy and SocietyHall PassNumber of the DayRobe & GavelUnion Station", '', '', '↑Note: This text is quoted verbatim from the original source.

This problem has been magnified by COVID-19, as the pandemic laid bare disparities in our medical system that have existed for generations. Cheri believes that whether you live in Chapel Hill or Cherokee every North Carolinian must have access to quality affordable health care. \nShortly after her twin sons were born, Cheri and her husband Curt learned their children would need several surgeries, treatments and doctors’ visits. Even though they had to fight with insurance companies and pay steep out-of-pocket costs over the years, Cheri and Curt consider their family lucky to have gotten their sons the care they needed. But Cheri believes luck should not determine if and when you can see a doctor.  \nCheri supports expanding the Affordable Care Act with a public option, lowering the cost of prescription drugs, and protecting coverage for pre-existing conditions. She will support Governor Cooper’s efforts to expand Medicaid and will work to increase resources for rural hospitals and health care providers.\nCheri will also fight to protect and expand access to women’s reproductive health care services and supports federal funding for Planned Parenthood.Strengthening Our Children’s FutureCheri believes that our classrooms should be places of opportunity for all children to realize their abilities, pursue their dreams and gain the skills they need for 21st century jobs. But for too many North Carolina children, their zip code determines the quality of their education and their opportunity to have the best possible future. \nCheri will fight for education funding from cradle to career for all our kids. She supports investing in early childhood education, universal pre-k, and fully funding the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Cheri also believes we must invest in our teachers and increase Title I funding to help close gaps between school districts and ensure schools are funded fairly and equitably across every zip code in our state. \nTo expand pathways beyond high school Cheri supports programs that help students prepare for college, and believes in reforming student loan programs so that our students are not hampered by mountains of debt when they graduate. She also knows that while a four-year degree might be the right choice for some, it is not for everyone. Cheri will work to expand access to community college, apprenticeships, and vocational training programs. She will also fight to increase funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) and Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs).Creating Jobs and Growing Economic Opportunity for All of North CarolinaCheri believes we must make targeted investments in creating and growing good paying jobs, workforce development and expanding economic opportunity for all North Carolinians.  Even before the pandemic times were tough and too many in our state were shut out from jobs that can support a family.  The last year deepened existing challenges for workers, income inequality and the racial wealth gap.  \nCheri will fight for investments in infrastructure and renewable energy to create good-paying jobs, increasing the minimum wage to $15 per hour and expanding training, certification and apprenticeship programs. We must also invest in affordable childcare to help ensure our businesses have the people they need to operate and enable parents to re-enter and remain in the workforce. \nTo help North Carolina’s small businesses and entrepreneurs – the backbone of our economy — Cheri supports expanding programs that provide technical assistance, access to capital and help for small business owners and entrepreneurs, especially for entrepreneurs of color and women.  \nCheri will fight for the dignity of work, and that North Carolinians deserve fair wages, safe working conditions and the ability to work and build a business in an environment free from discrimination.  A former member of SEIU, she is a strong supporter of the labor movement and the Pro Act as well as the Paycheck Fairness Act.  \nCheri will also fight to make the Expanded Child Tax Credit permanent and pass Federal Paid Family and Medical leave to help people balance work and family when welcoming a child, caring for a loved one or dealing with a personal illness, just as she created a family leave policy for North Carolina court employees when she served as Chief Justice.Supporting Small Towns, Rural Areas and AgricultureWith industries, good-paying jobs, and necessary services leaving, Cheri believes that there has never been a more important time to invest in improving the quality of life, educational opportunities and economic stability of our rural communities.  Our rural communities and small towns are cornerstones of our state, but too often the hard-working North Carolinians who live there don’t get the resources, respect and support they need. \nCheri will fight for investments that support small businesses, entrepreneurs and agricultural producers and bring jobs back to North Carolina’s small towns. That includes investing in transportation, affordable broadband, clean drinking water and waste infrastructure. We also must invest in schools, health care, access to early childhood education and expand opportunities for higher education and readiness. \nAgriculture is North Carolina’s largest industry and a vital part of our nation’s economy.\nAs Senator, Cheri will work to strengthen and grow opportunities for North Carolina farmers by supporting policies that address the challenges and uncertainty they face. She’ll support common sense policies on trade and tariffs that protect North Carolina jobs and products, help keep family farms strong and expand markets for our farmers. \nCheri also believes we must expand equitable access to capital in our small towns and rural areas and end discriminatory policies that have historically had a disproportionate impact on Black and Brown farmers.Standing Up for Women’s RightsCheri’s mother Lou broke barriers as a university dean and a national leader in her field while raising Cheri. Cheri has worked hard to follow in her mother’s footsteps, earning her law degree, becoming a judge and serving as the first African American woman Chief Justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court. \nAs a working mother, she knows firsthand the challenges women can face in the workplace. As Chief Justice, she took action to establish a family leave policy for court employees to ensure people could take care of their families and be successful in their jobs. \nCheri will fight to create a federal paid family and medical leave program, ensure equal pay for equal work and strengthen workplace protections for women so that no woman fears retribution for reporting harassment or feels unsafe at work.  She will also fight to expand affordable childcare to address the childcare crisis which has disproportionately impacted women, forcing millions to leave the workforce. Cheri will also fight to pass the Equal Rights Amendment to ensure gender equality under the law. \nWith urgent threats to reproductive freedom before the U.S. Supreme Court, and hundreds of laws passed across the country aimed at restricting reproductive freedom, Cheri believes the Senate must take action to protect women’s constitutional rights. In addition to repealing the Hyde Amendment, she supports the Women’s Health Protection Act, which would codify Roe v. Wade and protect reproductive rights so that women can get the care they need no matter where they live. That’s why she’s been endorsed by Planned Parenthood Action Fund as the candidate who will take this fight to the U.S. Senate.Taking On the Climate Crisis and Protecting Our EnvironmentCheri believes that tackling the climate crisis is imperative to our health, economy, and security, and the consequences of inaction are already hurting the people of our state. Longer and more damaging hurricane seasons and extreme weather events shut down roads, cause utility prices to skyrocket, damages our military bases and grind local businesses to a halt. In the past several years alone, North Carolina has experienced multiple devastating hurricanes and storms that have left us with enormous economic damage.\nCheri supports investing in climate-resilient infrastructure, expanding our renewable energy industry and ensuring that workers across North Carolina receive the training they need for clean energy jobs.  There is also more to be done modernizing our electrical grid and building codes to increase energy efficiency.  Cheri will support efforts to reduce carbon emissions by 50 percent by 2030.\nCheri will fight for hurricane relief and recovery funding that helps North Carolina not only recover from storms but also build back stronger and more resilient. Under Governor Cooper, North Carolina has put forward an ambitious plan to combat climate change that requires support on a federal level. We must also act with urgency to protect North Carolina’s natural beauty for future generations and prevent efforts to drill off of North Carolina’s coast.\nNorth Carolina is the birthplace of the environmental justice movement, and Cheri believes that we must take action to address systemic disproportionate impacts of climate change and pollution on vulnerable communities in North Carolina. She believes all North Carolinians have the right to live in safe and healthy communities with clean air, clean water, and improved waste infrastructure — especially in communities of color, low-income and indigenous communities.Protecting Our Fundamental Right to Vote & Strengthening Our DemocracyCheri believes that the right to vote is among the most sacred rights in our democracy, and every eligible voter should be able to register, cast a ballot, and have that vote counted.\nIn 49 states across the country, including in North Carolina, we’ve seen a wave of GOP-led anti-voter legislation seeking to erect barriers to voting and make it harder for people to make their voices heard at the ballot box. We’ve seen gerrymandering across the country and right here in North Carolina that lets leaders pick their voters, instead of voters picking their leaders. These measures disproportionately impact people of color, rural voters, disabled Americans, and young voters. It’s anti-American and anti-democratic – that’s why she opposed it on the NC Supreme Court and why she will fight against it in the US Senate. \nCheri supports the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and believes Congress must act urgently to pass both bills to protect our democracy and provide essential safeguards to ensure our constitutional rights. These measures promote transparency, fair redistricting, protect vote by mail, reduce long lines on election day, and begin to mitigate the harmful impact of anti-voter legislation already being passed in the states. The Freedom to Vote Act also restores federal voting rights to formerly incarcerated citizens who have paid their debt to society.\nCheri also believes we must take additional action to ensure our democracy lives up to our foundational values of freedom and equality by passing the Equal Rights Amendment and the Equality Act. \nAs a strong supporter of campaign finance reform Cheri will work to end the influence of dark money in politics and overturning Citizens United. Cheri doesn’t accept corporate PAC money because she believes leaders should be accountable to the people, not special interests. That’s why she has earned the support of End Citizens United // Let America Vote, the leading organization fighting to get dark money out of politics.Honoring Our Veterans, Servicemembers and Military FamiliesCheri believes that we have a sacred duty to the men and women who serve in our armed forces as well as their families and the communities who support them. North Carolina has a proud military tradition with more than 100,000 active-duty military personnel, approximately 725,000 veterans and 11,000 national guard and reservists who call our state home. Our state is also home to six major military installations including Ft. Bragg in Fayetteville where Cheri and her husband Curt started their family.\nCheri will fight to ensure that the federal government honors its obligations to our service members, veterans and their families. Too many struggle to make ends meet and far too many veterans return home without access to critical services.  We must expand investments to increase pay for service members, improve the infrastructure of VA health care facilities, increase resources for military families and expand the range of services the VA provides.  Additionally there is more we can do to help our veterans transition to civilian life, get jobs and increase awareness of and access to VA programs.  \nHonoring our obligations also means ensuring federal protections for LGBTQ veterans and service members.  And there is much more we must to do ensure accountability and adequate protections for service members by reforming the way the military investigates and prosecutes sexual assault.Keeping North Carolina Communities SafeCheri believes that everyone deserves to feel safe in their homes, communities, houses of worship, schools, and workplaces. But in too many communities across North Carolina and our country, bonds of trust between law enforcement and the communities they are sworn to serve are broken. As a public defender, as a judge and then as Chief Justice, Cheri has worked to protect the safety of North Carolina’s families and make the system more fair, equitable and transparent.\nCheri supports the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, and reforms including increasing investments in public safety, community policing, racial bias, de-escalation, and crisis intervention training for law enforcement. She also supports investing in resources for alternative first responders like mental health professionals and substance abuse counselors.  \nHaving worked closely with law enforcement throughout her career she has seen the good work that law enforcement can do in keeping communities safe. She knows we must have comprehensive reforms that establish accountability, increase transparency, and put more resources into public safety – not less.\nCheri also believes that we must keep our children and communities safe by also implementing common sense gun safety measures like universal background checks, encouraging safe storage and closing loopholes to prevent domestic abusers and those with mental health issues from being able to obtain a gun. We must also do more to stop the plague of mass shootings across our communities by keeping combat-style weapons and high-capacity magazines off our streets and away from our schools.Reforming our Criminal Justice SystemCheri believes that we must take action to reform our criminal justice system, ensure equal protection under the law, protect civil liberties, and strengthen public safety. As she said when she was the first Chief Justice in the nation to speak out after the murder of George Floyd, “we must openly acknowledge the disparities that exist and are too often perpetuated by our justice system.”\nAs a public defender, a judge and then as Chief Justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court, Cheri has worked alongside attorneys, clerks, and judges to make courts more accessible, equitable, and transparent for all. She expanded drug treatment and mental health courts and established the Faith and Justice Alliance, a coalition of legal, community and faith leaders working together to help provide legal resources to low-income North Carolinians throughout the state. She also took on the school-to-prison-pipeline, expanding School Justice Partnerships, a program aimed at keeping kids in classrooms and out of courtrooms for misconduct.\nCheri will continue to fight to reform our justice system. She supports expanding the use of drug treatment and mental health courts and legalizing and regulating cannabis. She also supports reforming sentencing, including ending some mandatory minimums and ending the cash bail system particularly for nonviolent offenders. She also supports the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act and investing in reentry programs that help returning citizens successfully re-enter society after serving their time and become contributing members of our communities.Improving Housing AffordabilityCheri believes that home ownership and high-quality affordable rental housing are critical to families’ and individuals’ economic security and well-being. But even before the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic hardship it caused, North Carolinians across our state were struggling to pay their rent or find safe, affordable housing for themselves and their families.\nOur state faces widespread shortages of affordable rental homes, and the cost of rent has more than doubled over the last 10 years on average. While the American Rescue Plan provided resources to address homelessness and moratoriums did help some people stay in their homes during the pandemic, urgent Congressional action is needed to address both short- and longer-term comprehensive solutions to the housing crisis in America.  \nAs Chief Justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court, Cheri took action during the pandemic and created a first of its kind mediation program with tenants and landlords to help people stay in their homes. \nCheri supports solutions that focus on building and expanding housing options for some of our most vulnerable including seniors, low-income families, individuals, and veterans. She believes we must also make investments for repairs and upgrades that make housing safe and energy efficient and expanding climate-resilient housing and infrastructure. We must also expand homelessness prevention programs that provide rent relief with direct payments to landlords and increase pathways to affordable home ownership. She will also fight to end discrimination in the sale, rental or financing of a home.Fixing our Immigration SystemCheri believes that America’s broken immigration system has been ignored for too long. Instead of playing politics, our leaders must focus on solutions that will fix the system and reflect our American values. Cheri knows that immigrants have strengthened and enriched our country and our state both culturally and economically. \nCheri supports comprehensive immigration reform that provides a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants who are already in our country, invests in securing our borders, treats people with dignity and respect, and ensures safety for everyone. While securing our borders, reforms must reduce wait times for legal immigration, improve visa programs and ensure a fair and efficient asylum process for people seeking refuge. Cheri will also fight to protect the DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) program and keep our promise to DREAMers.[9]”—Cheri Beasley’s campaign website (2022)[12]', '', '', "2022 ElectionsWhat's on the ballot?U.S. CongressU.S. Congress special electionsState executivesState legislaturesState courtsBallot measuresMunicipal governmentSchool boardsElection analysis hubGovernmentWho represents me?U.S. CongressState executivesState legislatorsState courtsBallot measuresMunicipal governmentSchool boardsNewslettersThe Heart of the PrimariesThe Daily BrewThe Weekly BrewThe Ballot BulletinChecks and BalancesEconomy and SocietyHall PassNumber of the DayRobe & GavelUnion Station", "2022 ElectionsWhat's on the ballot?U.S. CongressU.S. Congress special electionsState executivesState legislaturesState courtsBallot measuresMunicipal governmentSchool boardsElection analysis hub", '', '', 'GovernmentWho represents me?U.S. CongressState executivesState legislatorsState courtsBallot measuresMunicipal governmentSchool boards', '', '', 'NewslettersThe Heart of the PrimariesThe Daily BrewThe Weekly BrewThe Ballot BulletinChecks and BalancesEconomy and SocietyHall PassNumber of the DayRobe & GavelUnion Station', '', '', 'Search Google News for this topic', 'CandidateU.S. Senate North CarolinaWebsiteFacebookTwitterInstagramYouTubePersonalLinkedIn', '↑1.01.1The Hill, "North Carolina names first black woman to lead state supreme court," February 12, 2019↑Cheri Beasley\'s campaign website, "Biography," archived December 18, 2013↑On Being A Black Lawyer, "Judge Cheri Beasley appointed to the N.C.
