- We all deserve an equal voice in our government. We need a new generation of leaders who aren't bought and paid for by corporations and special interests. Christina Blackcloud will fight for every single person who lives in this district. She knows what is possible when we bring people together to solve problems and promises to put partisanship aside. She believes we should not ask if it is a Democratic or Republican solution. We should ask if it is the right solution.
- Blackcloud believes every human being is equal in worth, rights, and dignity. She believes every American deserves high-quality health care and every child deserves equitable access to the education necessary to achieve their full potential. She will promote solutions that invest in our teachers and schools and will fight to help keep health care dollars in our district to support preventative care and improve access to high-quality medical, mental health, and addiction recovery services.
- We have a responsibility to support our elders, protect those who proudly served in our military, and care for the environment. She believes we need to invest in our infrastructure, look for technology-centered renewable energy, and fight for unique approaches to combat climate change.
