See below for audio of yesterday’s interview by 2017 Democratic Lt. Governor candidate Gene Rossi of 2021 Democratic Lt. Governor candidate Del. Hala Ayala. Among other things, Del. Ayala discusses the top priorities she’d have if she’s elected LG (#1 is improving our health care system, #2 is investing in communities and infrastructure to support high-paying jobs, #3 is equity/justice including criminal justice reform); her family background (she says she’s “very diverse…I’m Afro/Latino, Lebanese and Irish); the importance of cybersecurity for business, schools, etc.
