Michael A. Chiaradio

  • Health care costs
    Every American should have access to high quality preventive and curative healthcare at a low cost... Healthcare cost assistance is one of the most effective ways to strengthen the social safety net. 3
  • Cost of living & jobs
    Simply raising taxes or cutting spending does not solve our economic problems. We need better spending that invests in our people. 3
  • Crime & safety
    We must expand mental health and addiction services as alternatives to incarceration for nonviolent offenders. Making it easier for reformed individuals to clear their records strengthens economic opportunity. 3

About red flags

These are Voter Choice's editorial choices, not a finding about any person. We flag: stock trading while in office, absences, money's influence in politics, and reported misuse of power or public funds. State and local items may come from local news, which can lean partisan. Take with a grain of salt. The judgment is yours.

Based on current data. May change in a future update.
