DEMOCRATIC

ISSUES:

• Protect drinking water by increasing filtration and expanding the availability of sewers. Supports county plan to expand “alternate on-site wastewater treatment” to replace traditional residential septic systems.
• Fight opioid crisis by securing more federal aid for treatment, expanding in the county jail and expanding use of alternative treatment programs.
• Opposes Republican effort to eliminate or reduce certain county fees, which could hurt county programs; supports red-light cameras.
