To the Editor,

There are many issues we can improve upon as a community and a state. My common sense policy proposals this session aim to create a safer environment for children and families, strengthen the economy by enriching the workforce, and improve the overall quality of life in our communities.

Some of my proposals include:

• Providing greater protection to area schools, ensuring our students have a safe place to learn
• Addressing the public health dangers posed by vaping and its associated marketing tactics targeted at our children

• Promoting the use of volunteer and volunteer organizations
• Increasing options for victims of sexual assault and promoting workplace prevention training
