Inflation

As an economist by trade, I am incredibly concerned by the extraordinarily high costs of living we face in the 21st district. I believe my experience has given me a strong understanding of how smart, well-timed action by governmental officials can actually help alleviate suffering, while poor judgment and poor timing can cause severe unintended consequences. As state representative, I believe we can tackle inflation in the following ways:

• Work with local officials to address Delaware’s incredible housing shortage while maintaining public open space and reversing sprawl

• Provide more transportation options for interested commuters, allowing them to save on transportation costs and reduce traffic for everyone

• Implement a public option health insurance plan for families and businesses

• Strengthen social support programs for individuals interested in rejoining the workforce, particularly for industries suffering from intense staff issues

• Promote enhanced energy efficiency initiatives for homeowners and businesses to mitigate the impact of energy price increases and fluctuations
