Environment / Energy Global Warming is responsible for changing weather patterns that are causing intense storms and severe weather conditions that cost businesses and families millions of dollars in infrastructure and property damage. We must have an emergency response system that is responsive to these changing weather conditions and is broadband driven. Education We must persist in adding more mental health professionals to the staff who can better managebehaviorial concerns, including social workers to help limit the quality of life issues that are negatively influencing the learning experience. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Delawareans deserve to feel safe in their homes and in public places. Law enforcement officers must remain safe as they go about their daily tasks. Inmates both adult and juvenile deserve to feel safe as they pay their societal debt. Housing We must encourage through incentives, mixed-income developments, so that we promote economic diversity and reduce concentrated poverty, as well as prioritize transit-oriented developments, reducing reliance on private vehicles. Delaware has a housing crisis that can be turned around. Defense / Veterans We must go out of our way to identify these veterans, connect them to services and address how we protect and restore their mental health. Defense / Veterans We must provide mental health care and follow-up treatment for our proud veterans. Hopelessness is an emotion that should not ever be associated with veterans and their mental health.
