We need to reform our prison system to help good people recover from their mistakes while keeping our communities safe. We need to ensure access to affordable child and elder care. We need to fully-fund our classrooms so our children receive a proper education. We need to
It is my dearest hope that no mother will ever again be forced to bury her child in an early grave because we failed to do our part.
