As everyone who works for a low wages or receives social assistance knows, the cost of living continues to go higher while wages remain largely stagnant. In addition, the Federal programs that have assisted people struggling to get by have been drastically cut back, leaving many suffering from a lack of resources.
Whether it be the cost of food, housing, gas and energy, or anything else we can't get along without, Michelle is keenly aware of the impact of this problem, and will advocate for more resources for the those among us who have the least. She will assure that residents of Hampton have access to every form of assistance available, and will work with the state giovernment to find ways to fund such programs so no Hamptonian falls through the cracks..
