ALTMAN ANNOUNCES RE-ELECTION BID FOR MARCH, 2022 PRIMARY

From Day One, I have been fighting for you.

• ​For a science-based response to the pandemic which prioritizes health and human life.
• For a strong mental health system to meet our residents' needs.
• For equity in our public schools.
• For a coordinated business plan to meet our region's labor needs and to ensure residents have access to good jobs that pay family-sustaining wages.
• For better funded parks and more green spaces.
• For LGBTQ rights.
• And for transparency in government -- it is my responsibility to bring County Government to you, as I have been doing throughout the pandemic.

As a mother, CMS parent, and County Commissioner, I know that families are priority number one, and I will fight for yours.
