On Homeland Security: Cut defense budget; move money to homelessness, education

[On budget priorities]: "If we don't take care of the actual people there's nothing left for us to take care of," James said in an interview before the primary. "So, we need to make sure that we have our budgets balanced first, and we need to get out of debt, second, but we also need to see where we're spending it so we can reallocate funds from different discretionary funds." She said moving money from the military budget would help with issues such as homelessness and education.

On Jobs: Supports living wage starting with $15-an-hour minimum

Q: What is the most pressing issue facing your constituents and how would you address it?

A: A living wage that will help them thrive and not simply survive. Health care worries mixed with a 21st-century education and broadband access for our future. I would support legislation to increase our living wages to start federally at $15-an-hour along with those already at the minimum receiving raises to compensate for the current value.
