Where Harder stands

Health care

People with chronic diseases like diabetes shouldn’t be struggling with poor nutrition and worse health outcomes in a place that grows a quarter of the nation’s food.

Education

Jobs, wages & cost of living

Finding a good-paying job to support a family on has gotten way too hard, but Valley organizations have already proven that evidence-based training can bridge that gap.

Position history

Economy

  1. May 30, 2026 (in an interview with Stocktonia News)
    We have to lower costs, fix our health care, and end the rampant corruption we're seeing from this Administration. We have to make life in the Valley affordable again, and that starts with ending the chaos in Washington.
