Focus on Priorities

HONORING OUR SENIORS

​

The term “senior” covers a four-decade age range, but does not do justice to the varying needs, expectations, and continuing contributions of the many unique individuals it attempts to define.

 

As your Minnesota state representative, I will prioritize:

 

• Assuring that services support each individual’s choice of housing … the family home, group environment, or assisted facility.

• Working to provide safe and affordable access to health care that reflects the unique health needs of each senior.

• Assuring transportation options.

• Fighting to address issues of accessibility and improving walkability at the community level.

• Promoting fall education and prevention.

• Addressing food access disparities among our seniors.

• Assuring adequate staffing, supervision, and appropriate inspection of living facilities.

• Working with our Congressional delegation to protect the benefits which our seniors have earned: Social Security and Medicare.
