SMANDAVA I most agree with John B. Shadegg, a representative of the 3d district of Arizona. I especially like his views on the economy, Healthcare, and energy. - []
 * Senator Sidd Mandava**-Democrat

My three main issues are the Economy, Energy, and Health Care __**Economy**__ **-** I believe that the government is just driving us deeper and deeper into debt. At this rate, it will eventually come to a point where our national debt will equal our financial output. We need to put more money into the things that can be saved, rather than the things that are hopeless. We also need to put more money into the basis of the American system instead of stuffing it all up at the top. We also need to be able to find a way to sell goods for lower prices- ex. Auction houses that are now selling regular home goods. __**Health Care**__ **-** Every American citizen needs health care insurance. This is just a basic necessity of life nowadays with the high prices on most medical procedures. This money must be produced somehow through our government. We also need to funnel more money into the Health Care industry, both for research and to upgrade facilities.
 * __Energy__ -** We must find newer and safer energy resources or our world will be in serious trouble. Some people may believe that global warming is not real but our world is still in danger from emissions. We mainly need oil/gas replacements because that is where the main problem is.

__**My Bill (SB-47)**__- I am currently working with Senators Chris Nowak of Oklahoma and Angelo Guastella of Missouri.
