I also work in the maternal and child health space as the Media & Government Relations Manager for Healthy Start, Inc. Working to strengthen accessible and quality healthcare for women and birthing folks across our region and protecting reproductive justice and abortion care for all. I believe no matter where you live, how much money you make, who you pray to, or what you look like, you deserve to earn a livable wage and access to good union jobs, access to a quality education, affordable and accessible healthcare, and clean air and water.
I’m running for this seat because I believe we still have so much work to do to meet the needs of our communities. This moment requires more from all of us. If Democrats want to win in November we must elect candidates who will organize and mobilize the people. That’s my work and what I’ll use this office to build and grow thriving communities for all of us.- Fairly fund our publicity schools. Every public dollar should go towards investing in public schools and property taxes should not be our main source of funding our schools.
- We all deserve to make a livable wage and access to good union jobs.
- We need care infrastructure. Paid family and medical leave so we can take care of those we love when they are in need. Taking care of those we love shouldn’t be detrimental to our livelihood.
