James is a product of the public school system and believes we all should support our schools. The weak areas in our public school system should be identified and eliminated in order to make them stronger. The public school system was good for James and his children and it will be good or made good for generations to come.Second, Programs need to be created to encourage parents to get involved with their children's education.
My promise - I will support legislation to improve public education.
INDUSTRY
First, unfortunately, the bid for the Kia plant was lost. As your next representative, I'll work hard on bringing industry and good paying jobs to lower Alabama. Second, I will continue to work with delegations from Alabama negotiating with Benin, a country with current ties to our community whose primary export is palm oil and cashews, to attract an industrial complex located in district 98.
My promise - I will lobby for industrial growth and good paying jobs in Lower Alabama.
LAW ENFORCEMENT
Since Hurricane Katrina minor crimes have increased. We need to ensure that law enforcement has the proper support to reduce these numbers.
My promise - I will support law enforcement
HEALTHCARE
First, at our senior citizen's request, I pledge to be a voice to petition for additional coverage if the current Medicare part D coverage is deemed inadequate. Our seniors have paid their dues. "Domestic aid before foreign aid!!"Second, Alabama may be able to lead the way by enacting a Small Business Health Plan; this would allow small businesses to band together throughout the state, region or country to negotiate group premiums.
My promise - take care of our seniors, take care of
Our small businesses, work to make healthcare accessible for everyone.
