We will propose a Stem Cell and Innovation Fund to be presented to the voters for approval. The fund will provide long-term investment, overseen by independent industry experts, for stem cell innovations and other types of applied research that
will lead to direct commercial application. This investment will repay itself many times over in increased jobs, economic activity and improved health.
