Will make our lives BETTER

Economic Development: Building Opportunity Everywhere

Fred knows what it means to grow up with little, and he believes no child’s future should be determined by their zip code. From the Delta to the Ozarks, he will invest in small businesses, workforce training, and infrastructure so communities don’t just survive — they thrive. His plan includes:
  • Building regional economic hubs
  • Rebuilding water, sewer, broadband, and road infrastructure
  • Expanding entrepreneurship, apprenticeships, and small business support
  • Providing summer youth employment tied to career-readiness certificates
  • Establishing an Affordable Housing Taskforce at ADFA

Education: The Great Equalizer

Fred’s story proves the power of education. Teachers and mentors pushed him to rise higher, and now he’s committed to ensuring every child gets the same chance. His plan:
  • Invest in reading specialists and reinforce literacy programs so every child reads on grade level
  • Guarantee every district has adequate literacy support
  • Expand mental health and teletherapy services, especially in rural areas
  • Reject voucher schemes that siphon resources from classrooms
  • Support teachers with fair pay, resources, and respect
  • Expand adult literacy programs to open doors for working families

  • Ensure adequate staffing to protect corrections employees
