When I ask people what they want from their state government, the answers are always similar. We need affordable housing and decent paying jobs. We deserve access to health care and a quality education for our children. We need someone who will stand up for us against crime and all of its consequences upon our neighborhoods. These core issues, those of my friends and neighbors, are what I hold in my heart and on my agenda. To learn more visit Chris’s website.
