This November, I plan to vote for Rep. Renee Schulte, an incumbent state representative.

I recently attended a Q-AND-A forum at which Rep. Schulte was the speaker. I attended because I work with people with intellectual disabilities and wanted to see how knowledgeable Schulte was regarding the ongoing mental health redesign and Medicaid funding issues. I was impressed by her in-depth knowledge of mental health and disability-related issues.

We need someone who can offer bipartisan support, especially if the focus is to bring consistency and equity to an individualized person-centered delivery system across the state. Schulte has been a hard worker for people with intellectual disabilities, people with mental health issues, and at-risk teens.

As a person who has a physical disability, I am reminded of the need for a stable Medicaid system. I urge you to consider supporting Schulte in House District 66.
