Priority Issues:
Perske?s most important issue is to get government to work together and to put the focus on people. To put the polarizing politics aside that has led our country into gridlock and shutdowns. There are many challenges that our country is facing. Their solutions are not Democratic nor Republican answers but answers that are best for the people.
