Kathleen Crogan-Camara completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Crogan-Camara's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- I am the only pro-choice candidate in this race. That means the incumbent votes anti-choice.
- I am the only pro-LGBTQ+ candidate in this race. That means the incumbent votes anti-gay.
- As a mom, a registered nurse, and a former small business owner, I will lead on issues of parenting, healthcare, and small business. The incumbent has not led. I will.
I've encountered so many obstacles in getting good care for my daughter. State agencies and state programs were simply not there for us. Unfortunately, our State Senator did not provide any support -- his staff said "We're not going to do the heavy lift.". That was one of the main reasons I began to get involved in politics.
I believe our government should help people, not ignore them. Unfortunately, our current representation often neglects some of our basic needs. Our healthcare is getting more expensive, the climate crisis is getting worse, and housing costs are displacing so many of our neighbors. Meanwhile, people have more and more difficulty accessing the government departments they’ve paid for with their taxes, whether it’s unreturned calls or inaccessible red tape.
Senator Walter Timilty is aware of this issue, and when it came to the State Senate, Timilty voted for a 14-month study to investigate. That report came out in spring 2022 -- it confirmed that it's true that African-American women have a three times higher morbidity and mortality compared to white women. Every nurse already knew that, because it's been in nursing textbooks for decades. Kathleen thinks the State Senate should DO something about this issue, not just waste taxpayers' money on a 14-month study like Timilty supported.
When the report finally came out in spring 2022, it included a dozen recommendations, ranging from promoting doulas (birth assistants) to educating maternity doctors about the problem. Timilty chose inaction. Kathleen wants action!
I believe our best days are ahead of us. Healthier, safer, cleaner communities are possible, but only if we choose to reject politics as usual. Please join my campaign and please vote for me in the Democratic primary on September 6th.
