I personally think he has done a good job. An example of this if how he successfully authored and introduce the "SAVE Water Act" and secured $14 million for project. 8202992 https://padlet.com/8202992/ptkgia8c1lcgkdsq/wish/872278194 2020-10-29 07:01:24 UTC https://padlet.com/8202992/ptkgia8c1lcgkdsq/wish/872278194 I do share some of our representative's priorities, such as the protect of mental health access, combat of child abuse, and help people with substance disorder. While I do not think it's a priority to honor military retirees and fallen heroes, I do think it is very important to do so. 8202992 https://padlet.com/8202992/ptkgia8c1lcgkdsq/wish/872285950 2020-10-29 07:07:08 UTC https://padlet.com/8202992/ptkgia8c1lcgkdsq/wish/872285950 U.S Senate 8202992 https://padlet.com/8202992/ptkgia8c1lcgkdsq/wish/892643136 One of the two senators representing California is Kamala Harris.]]> 2020-11-05 04:00:05 UTC https://padlet.com/8202992/ptkgia8c1lcgkdsq/wish/892643136 U.S Senate 8202992 https://padlet.com/8202992/ptkgia8c1lcgkdsq/wish/892652394 Kamala Harris has an affiliation with the Democratic party and was selected by Joe Biden to be his running mate.]]> 2020-11-05 04:06:28 UTC https://padlet.com/8202992/ptkgia8c1lcgkdsq/wish/892652394 U.S Senate 8202992 https://padlet.com/8202992/ptkgia8c1lcgkdsq/wish/892664750 Before being elected as a senator in 2017, Kamala Harris worked as a deputy district attorney which quickly lead her to become a district attorney in 2004. She then proceeded to be elected as the attorney general of California in 2010 (she is the first female African American and Indian American to hold this position).]]> 2020-11-05 04:14:24 UTC https://padlet.com/8202992/ptkgia8c1lcgkdsq/wish/892664750 U.S Senate 8202992 https://padlet.com/8202992/ptkgia8c1lcgkdsq/wish/892759910 Harris is part of the Select Committee on Intelligence as well as the Judiciary Committee.]]> 2020-11-05 05:07:37 UTC https://padlet.com/8202992/ptkgia8c1lcgkdsq/wish/892759910 U.S Senate 8202992 https://padlet.com/8202992/ptkgia8c1lcgkdsq/wish/892778390 Kamala Harris priorities are to raise incomes for middle and lower class, as well as giving medicare for all and reform criminal justices. 
Harris wants to give $500 a month to people with low income. She wants to legalize marijuana to a federal level and reform or replace cash bail policies. Harris wants to make medicare available for all as well.]]> 2020-11-05 05:17:43 UTC https://padlet.com/8202992/ptkgia8c1lcgkdsq/wish/892778390 U.S Senate 8202992 https://padlet.com/8202992/ptkgia8c1lcgkdsq/wish/892793702 Commentary]]> 2020-11-05 05:26:21 UTC https://padlet.com/8202992/ptkgia8c1lcgkdsq/wish/892793702 While I do share most of our senator's priorities, I don't think legalizing marijuana should be a priority considering the latest events in both the US and the world. Because of the virus, families have lost their jobs which for some cause a detrimental effect on their economy, so giving them money would really help them. I fully agree on medicare being for all, and although I am not fully aware as to why reforming cash bail policies is a priority right now (though I do acknowledge it is an issue). 8202992 https://padlet.com/8202992/ptkgia8c1lcgkdsq/wish/892799866 2020-11-05 05:29:50 UTC https://padlet.com/8202992/ptkgia8c1lcgkdsq/wish/892799866 I would need to know from where is she going to get the funds to give $500 a month to people with low income, that being about 2.8 trillion over the course of then years, to decide whether I would vote for her re-election or not. I would also be interested in knowing her defense against progressive persecutors who think she is not (as she claims) due to past actions of moderate or right leaning stances. 8202992 https://padlet.com/8202992/ptkgia8c1lcgkdsq/wish/892814037 2020-11-05 05:38:04 UTC https://padlet.com/8202992/ptkgia8c1lcgkdsq/wish/892814037
