Invest in border technology, including drug detection at ports of entry
Stop cartels from smuggling drugs and people across the border

Give local communities a say in data center decisions
“I believe that local communities and their leadership should have the right to approve or reject a data center project without getting sued by big corporations. Data centers should not simply be dropped into the middle of our neighborhoods, driving up utility prices, polluting water, creating noise pollution and lowering property values for hardworking families. If communities do not want them, they should not be built.”

Promote the trades as an equal path to a four-year degree
“And I think a lot of those jobs should not require a college degree. We need to concentrate more on vocational and technical training in our schools. We need more mechanics, plumbers, electricians, woodworkers, and tradespeople in general. These jobs pay family-supporting wages and cannot be outsourced to China. I will be a champion for these jobs in Congress.”
Raise pay and protections for school support staff and paraprofessionals
“Quality public schools are the bedrock of our communities and the foundation of America. We should prioritize educating our children and making sure teachers, support professionals, cafeteria workers and bus drivers get the pay and respect they deserve.”

“In Congress, I will make fighting for a new, 5-year Farm Bill a top priority – one that lowers input costs, provides certainty to farmers, and helps get more young people into farming careers.”
“Four companies control over half of all chicken processing, raking in record profits for themselves while they squeeze family farmers out of business. In Congress, I would support legislative efforts to break up consolidation in the marketplace.”
