A Bold Vision. Real Solutions
Protecting Healthcare Access
Access Seven community clinics in District 24 are at risk of closing — and Dave Ward will fight to keep them open. Dave believes every family deserves affordable, accessible healthcare close to home. In Richmond, he will oppose consolidation schemes that put hospital profits ahead of patients and push for state investment in the community-based clinics that working families depend on.
Investing in Education
A strong community starts with strong schools. Dave Ward will advocate for returning more state funding to local districts, ensuring teachers are supported, and expanding vocational and workforce training programs that connect young people to real careers right here in the region.
Championing Local Jobs
Dave has spent over 23 years helping families plant roots in this community. He knows that thriving neighborhoods need thriving local economies. As state senator, Dave will push for state grants and tax incentives that support small businesses, attract good-paying jobs, and make it easier for first-time homebuyers to invest in District 24.
Defending Our Rights
From the right of fire fighters to bargain collectively to the right of every working family to have a voice on the job, Dave Ward will be a tireless defender of workers' rights in Richmond. He knows what's at stake — and he won't back down when it counts.
