Issues

Partisan politics have left many of us feeling exhausted. Our political system makes us think of issues as “left” or “right.” In reality, the majority of us have viewpoints that politically align more in the middle. Like many, I became frustrated watching both local and national political party games take precedence over what was best for the majority. My goal is to be a voice for our community as a whole. In fact, it’s the reason why I decided to run. 

My name is Jaime Erskine-Pettit. I’m a mom. I’m the wife of a veteran. I’m the granddaughter of an immigrant. I’m a parent to foster children. I’m a grieving mother. I’m a sister who shared in the difficulties of being raised by a struggling, single mom. I work in the medical field, and I work hard every day. I run a non-profit with my sister, and I recently buried my father who died from ALS. I’m not a politician per se; rather, I’m an unafraid woman who wants to see change and wants to help the community that I have been a part of since I can remember to grow and flourish. I want to encourage an environment in which we cheer each other on and carry each other when needed.
