Healthcare Priorities:

1. Universal Healthcare: I will always fight for Universal Health Care. 

2. Preventative Healthcare is my focus. My passion. The fundamentals of living healthy so we don’t have to go to the hospital.

3. Women’s Health and reproductive freedoms. 100% Absolutely.

4. Aging Gracefully: Improving seniors access to care. Aging gracefully should include social connection, civic freedoms, public transportation, body movement, and agility.

5. Expanding mental and behavioral health services. Especially in schools. Expanding drug treatment centers.

6. Outdoor Health: We should recognize the benefits of outdoor health: Sports, gardening, nature hikes, dog walks, picnics, and recreational camping.  These are some of the best cures for stress, anxiety and depression.

7. Feeling safe and protected: Good health involves feeling safe. Fighting crime using the future of technology without invading our privacy. I will build a coalition so we can put forward the most comprehensive legislation for crime prevention. It’s time to feel safe in our city once again.

8. Healthy Life Choices: What goes in our body and what goes on top of our body can greatly affect our health. It’s time we transition away from toxic beauty supplies and over-processed cancer-causing foods. We must identify and act on the root causes of chronic disease.

9. I Love Portland: Getting out and having fun more often is the key to longevity. But where should you go?
