| Collapse all
- Prioritizing healthcare is essential for a thriving community. I am committed to creating legislation that addresses the root causes of the mental health crisis, chronic disease, and works toward making mental, physical, and preventative healthcare more affordable and accessible. I strongly advocate for women's healthcare, addiction rehabilitation, veterans' well-being, and preventive care.
- The education, health, and overall well-being of our youth are a strong focus of mine. As a parent of two children—one in middle school and the other in college—I understand the needs and concerns of our younger generation.
- Our freedoms are the birthright of every American, enshrined in the Constitution and guaranteed by the Bill of Rights. I will be a steadfast advocate for civil rights, opposing any encroachment on our freedoms, whether from government overreach or corporate interests. As a strong supporter of the First and Second Amendments, I am committed to protecting our freedoms of speech, religion, assembly, and the right to bear arms.
As a parent, I know the importance of quality education. I’m committed to ensuring our schools support both the academic and overall well-being of our children.
Protecting civil rights is central to my platform. I stand firm in defending our freedoms of speech, religion, assembly, and the right to bear arms.
