How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
When it comes to healthcare the federal government should not dictate the course of care for an individual, forcing them to buy insurance plans they do not want, nor be involved in a system that causes insurance premiums to rise for hard-working families and individuals. We need to foster a market of competition which will lower cost and provide quality coverage.

I am a strong supporter of the Trump Tax Cuts, one of the the largest in history, and of the regulatory reforms that are now in place. Both are instrumental in our nation’s nearing record low unemployment. We know little can be accomplished in our communities without a great economy and I will work with small businesses to ensure they have what they need to thrive.

There are many facets to this answer, but the code should be reformed wher it benefits small busine, families and individuals and not benefit bigger government.

Tax Cuts,and of the regulatory reforms that are now in place. Both are instrumental in our nation’s nearing record low unemployment. Additionally, educating a more skilled labor force, by encouraging trade schools.

First crack down on fraud,reduce the national spending and get our financial house in order which will allow us to stop borrowing from the social security funds to run the government and look at privatization.

My life has bread me for this position. I am a first generation American, small business owner, I work with a diverse groups of people and socio- economic levels and have always been a problem solver.

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
I was born in Brooklyn, NY to immigrant parents from Guyana, South America. They had to build a life from the ground up. As pressures mounted, divorce hit our family, and I left the only community I knew for a brand new life in Virginia. This transition opened my eyes to the complexity of cultures and the basic needs of the human heart. I had to grow up fast and embody the roles needed to help support a strong and deliberate single mother. Those moments could have stopped me from building a design business and volunteering fifteen years with students, foster kids, and non-profits, but it did not. Instead, they presented a crossroad at which I had to choose to either continue building my vision or fight, so others can build their dreams. I've chosen the road that is as natural to me as breathing - to fight for others. While volunteering with kids from hard places, I realized my purpose. I cannot see a declining community and just watch, doing nothing. It is my purpose to act.
