As someone who has experienced the devastation of domestic gun violence on her family, ChaRon supports common-sense and evidence based laws to keep our families and communities safe. As a collaborative, strategic leader, she brings a set of skills developed in her career and in the community that she will use to advocate for our region to insure our communities are safe, healthy and have the resources needed to thrive.
- Parent - As the parent of two boys with autism, I know the challenges and strengths of our systems and services for people with disabilities. Support for early intervention services has eroded, with professionals leaving the field resulting in longer wait times for critical services. I will advocate for funding and accountability to support and protect our most vulnerable members of all ages, helping families to get the services they need when they need them. I will advocate for better support and compensation for the professionals and para-professionals who provide these needed services.
- Educator - My professional career has been in higher education. Working with both hearing and Deaf students, I have helped students succeed in individual settings, and by working with communities of peers to help students learn. As an advocate, I have helped students navigate their most difficult experiences to help them continue to learn and thrive.
- Advocate - As a local and state leader with a gun violence prevention group, I built our local presence to over 600 supporters. In sharing the loss of my cousin and her daughter to gun violence at the hands of her domestic partner, I've mentored new advocates for gun safety and worked to earn the trust of responsible gun owners. I know how to bring people together to find common ground and work toward meaningful change.
Education: All children deserve access to quality public education and the state must fulfill its financial obligation to our schools. Schools in our legislative district are owed nearly $27.5 million in Foundation Aid (AQENY, 2019-2020). I will work to help institutions and employers create more vocational and retraining opportunities for displaced and underemployed members of the community.
Health Care: All New Yorkers deserve health insurance regardless of age, employment, or financial means.The New York Health Act can address inequities in health care based on where you live or your line of work.
New York State must ensure adequate staffing and compensation for those who provide care to our most vulnerable: I will fight for appropriate Medicaid reimbursement rates for those in nursing homes, skilled nursing facilities, and provide a living wage for direct care providers.
