HEALTHCARE
What most closely matches your view on healthcare: A) Healthcare for all should be guaranteed and funded by the government with no private healthcare option. (includes "universal healthcare," "medicare for all," etc.) B) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options. C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. D)Tax-payer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded.
Healthcare funded by the federal and state government should be available to the people that needs it and can afford private healthcare. Once elected I am committed to meeting with legislators to come up with solutions to better serve the people of our State.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
I believe no person should be forced or required to inject medicine into their bodies. That should be a personal decision. So under no circumstance should government school or employer be allowed to require vaccinations.

God is first and foremost in my life. I have dedicated my life to serving people. As a kid raised by a single mother we didn’t have a lot. One thing I did have and still have is love. We all do. I reflect back on a message a friend of mine sent me when I ran for public office the first time, he said he remembered when he was in the third grade and I was in the sixth and one day on the basketball court I asked him to join us not because what it meant to me but because what it would mean to him. I knew that picking him to play with the older boys would build his confidence. He didn’t Know but the night before I barely had food to eat. I didn’t worried about myself I didn’t complain God gave me life and I keep living I keep loving I made myself available to people. I stand today asking if you vote for me to be Louisiana State Representative of District 88 I will be available to you. God Bless you, your family, our community, our State and God Bless America
