1. What are your Qualifications for Office? (50 word limit)

Answer from Margo G (Hamlin) McNeil:

As a educator, I set goals, plan strategies, communicate, and motivate students to succeed. As a legislator, I will do the same. My experiences and skills as a teacher and advocate for public education will be helpful in getting government to work for the greater good of all.


2. What plans do you have to address your top three priorities? (50 word limit)

Answer from Margo G (Hamlin) McNeil:

I will work to develop fair taxing practices by restructuring our individual income tax rates, closing tax loopholes and developing consistant statewide property tax assessments. I will work collaboratively with employee organizations, administrators, and legislators to establish regulations that secure our constitutional right to bargain.
