Economy, jobs, taxes, and affordability
Candidate positionOur national debt is unsustainable. We must cut spending, reform welfare to empower, not suppress low income individuals, and balance the budget. The debt can be tackled, not by raising taxes on US citizens, but by taking a critical look at the unnecessary spending of the federal government.

Education, child care, and workforce training
Candidate positionAs a mother and educator, I understand that knowledge is an ultimate equalizer and quality education for our children has always been my top priority. Our post-secondary education has a lot of work to do. Above all, we need to align the cost of education with the earning potential of a career in that field and provide more workforce development opportunities. We must give flexibility to the states to improve K-12 education, reform higher education financing to improve accountability of colleges and better prepare our students to the future workforce demands.

Immigration and border policy
Candidate positionAs someone who has personally gone through our immigration system, I know firsthand that we need to make changes. The process takes too long and is too expensive and bureaucratic for those seeking the American dream. If we want to curb illegal immigration, we need to address our legal immigration process to better serve our national interest and have a more robust work visa program.
