ISSUES:

- She said she favored using the county's share of a settlement with opioid manufacturers wisely, adding she saw a "transformational opportunity now to do all we can to end that [the opioid crisis] once and for all."
- She said she would support small businesses as they recover from the economic challenges of the pandemic and boost cultural activities and tourism.
