Megan’s Priorities
Our biggest issues are affordable housing, food security and mitigating the impact of inflation in our county. We need to think outside of the box to tackle all of these issues. These issues are interconnected. If we build more affordable housing, supply will increase, hopefully prices will stabilize. We need to support our farmers and help them get their products out into the community, this allows for constituents to have access to local produce while also eliminating supply chain surcharges. We need to expand our career resources and opportunities for career development by partnering with trade shops, and inviting new businesses to the area who are looking to collaborate with us.
