1: A national poll in May 2020 found that 78% of the public believes our elected leaders are not putting enough attention on people’s need for help to pay for their housing during the coronavirus outbreak. What do you believe is the role of government in ensuring everyone has access to housing?
I believe the Government should assist in helping the people find affordable housing.
I will help the Counties in my State to help meet the needs of those who are without homes and improve the less than sufficient housing that some people have. All counites should be able to meet emergency requirements. I will work hard on day 1 to ensure counties have enough to meet these needs.
work on passing laws that punish discrimination based on those factors as well laws that will encourage first generation homeownership
I will work with local communities to understand their housing needs. This is important to me, I want children in our area to have a safe and stable home. I want senior citizens living on a fixed income to feel confident in their housing situation. I want working people to be able to afford good housing.
