I believe we should vote for political candidates who care about reforming our mental health system. I believe we should do our best to defeat incumbents who don’t recognize mental health reform as an important issue or show no interest in improving our system.
State Senator Janet Howell represents Virginia’s 32 district. She has been an effective and strong advocate in Virginia for persons with mental disorders. No one has fought harder than she has to improve our state’s mental health services. I had the honor of serving with her on a task force that was rewriting our state’s mental health laws. She attended every hearing, asked poignant and thought provoking questions and offered concrete solutions.
If you live in her district, please, please vote for her. She is making a huge difference in Virginia. We need more like her.
