As a doctor who cared for Springfield for decades, Fogle has my vote

That’s why we’re voting for Betsy Fogle for state Senate. I first met Betsy when I got involved in the push for Medicaid expansion. As a social worker, she connected folks in Springfield with community health services — some of the same patients who visited me after trips to the emergency department with strokes, organ failure, and severe disabilities that could have been prevented had they had gotten timely care. Betsy has always believed it’s not enough to make sure someone has good medical coverage; they also need access to dental and mental health care, as well as healthy food and housing. In fact, her experiences working with patients at Jordan Valley Community Health Center made her realize that politicians weren’t listening to the real needs of our community, and that she needed to take her advocacy to the state capitol.
