“I think the cruelty and the cuts to public health are one of the things I am most passionate about because I work in it. I was let go once and rehired, so there have been huge cuts and what people don’t understand is that most state health departments are federally funded. So people think, oh that’s Washington, DC, but it’s not, it’s state funding, no matter where – Texas, Virginia, everywhere. I was let go because the federal government cut all the funding to the programs that I was working under at a Virginia state agency.”
