| e) Other or expanded principles: | |
| This year, New Jersey's government shut down completely due to failure on both sides to reach an agreement on the state's budget. A government is useless if it isn't open, but if we begin stripping benefits from employees and residents simply for short-term gains, then we are no better off. We can afford the basic necessities if we end our frivolous spending on outlandish projects, focusing instead on the healthcare, education, housing, and community development. | |

| d) Other or expanded principles: | |
| I see no reason to doubt the decades of work from governments and private businesses/organizations all around the world who have come to the consensus that climate change is real and human beings are speeding up the natural process.

| My top priorities should I be elected to the General Assembly are; ensuring a proper education for all students in my district and across the state and giving schools the funding necessary to provide those students access to more than just the core classes, as students exposed to the Arts and Humanities are substantially more well-rounded than those who are not; property tax reform that slows the rate of increase and provides a fairer taxation to residents of all classes; and protecting our beaches and waterways from harmful chemicals and drilling, allowing the natural beauty of our state to flourish. | |
