I have been an NIH-funded physician-scientist in hematology/oncology. \r\n​\r\nToo often, we have people making decisions for us that don’t understand the issues themselves. That has resulted in reactionary responses that offer a bandaid on a gushing wound, and consequences that hurt everyday people. \r\n​\r\nI will bring servant leadership to Washington D.C. - putting people before politics. As a doctor, I knows the best way I can help sick children is by listening, communicating, and advocating for them. \r\n</p><p>I ams no stranger to pressure; as a pediatric oncologist, I have to make life or death decisions and unlike those in Washington -- I am accountable for them. \r\n</p>\nI will use his problem solving skills, compassion, and experience as a public health professional and scientist to create solutions instead of making excuses.\t\t\t</span></div></div></div></div><div class=\"panel panel-default\"><div class=\"panel-heading\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" href=\"#collapse-key-message-100074-2021-06-13\" id=\"heading-key-message-100074-2021-06-13\" role=\"tab\"><p class=\"panel-title\" style=\"font-size: 14px;font-weight: 600;\"><a aria-controls=\"collapse-key-message-100074-2021-06-13\" aria-expanded=\"false\" class=\"collapsed\" data-parent=\"#accordion\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" href=\"#collapse-key-message-100074-2021-06-13\" role=\"button\"><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-right pull-right\"></i><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-down pull-right\"></i>\t\t\t\tPlease list below 3 key messages of your campaign.
