“I have to send a very big thank you to the voters in District 90,” Bamberg said. “They showed up and showed out.”

This is Bamberg’s first attempt at re-election.

“I knew that I wanted to be a voice for the people. I knew I wanted to improve the quality of life for the people,” he said. “It’s very humbling.”

His primary concerns will be health care, education and economic development.

Bamberg says he is looking to “establish a 24-hour emergency department.” This will be used to stabilize patients who will then be transported to a facility that can treat them fully.

His goals for economic development will include ensuring that workers are getting salaries that they can use “not just to support their family” but to be able to take vacations or give their families a good Christmas.

“I want them to have full, gainful employment,” Bamberg said.

With the general election in November now in his sights, Bamberg says he doesn’t have any real concerns about going against Republican candidate Dan Lawrence. What he will focus on however, is voter turnout.
