Campaign themes

2018

Davidson submitted the following campaign themes through Ballotpedia’s biographical information submission form:

“	I started this run after a series of town hall debates and meetings with the incumbent, Bill Huizenga, about healthcare. I believe Universal Healthcare is a right-Huizenga does not. I hope to work on behalf of working families who simply want to earn a fair wage for a hard days work. ^[2]	”
