| Collapse all
- Common sense gun reform : The current state of gun ownership and regulation has led to an unacceptable level of gun violence, with devastating consequences for communities across the nation. Our campaign seeks to promote a comprehensive approach to gun reform, including universal background checks, closing loopholes in the current system, and implementing red flag laws to keep dangerous weapons out of the wrong hands. We believe that the Second Amendment does not mean that anyone should be able to own any weapon they choose, without proper regulation and oversight. The right to bear arms is not absolute, and it is time for our laws to reflect this.
- Women’s reproductive health: It is crucial that we protect and expand access to safe and legal abortion, ensuring that women have the ability to make choices about their reproductive health without fear of discrimination or marginalization. We believe that this includes adding exceptions for rape and incest to abortion laws, as these heinous crimes can have devastating and long-lasting effects on the survivors. By providing these exceptions, we can ensure that women who have been subjected to these horrific acts of violence are able to access the healthcare they need and deserve.
- Fully funding public schools: Our campaign support fully funding our public schools. This critical investment in our children's education is not only a moral imperative, but a strategic investment in our nation's prosperity and security. A well-funded public education system provides the foundation for a skilled workforce, informed citizenship, and a strong democracy. It is essential that we prioritize the needs of our schools and provide the necessary resources to ensure that every student has access to a high-quality education, regardless of their zip code or socio-economic status. By investing in our public schools, we are investing in the future of our nation and the well-being of our communities.
My mother has instilled in me a strong work ethic and a sense of responsibility. She has always emphasized the importance of hard work, perseverance, and dedication, and has shown me through her own example how to apply these values in my own life. Her work ethic has inspired me to set high standards for myself and to strive for excellence in everything I do.
My mother has taught me the importance of emotional intelligence and how to manage my emotions in a healthy and productive way. She has shown me how to be empathetic, understanding, and compassionate towards others, and has helped me to develop my own emotional intelligence. Her emotional intelligence has helped me to build strong relationships and to navigate complex social situations with grace and tact.
My mother has been a leader in her own right, both in her personal and professional life. She has shown me how to lead by example, how to set goals and priorities, and how to inspire and motivate others. Her leadership skills have inspired me to take on leadership roles in my own life and to make a positive impact on those around me.
Accountability: A willingness to be transparent and answerable to the constituents, demonstrating a commitment to open communication and responsiveness to their needs and concerns.

Collaboration: The ability to work across party lines and with various stakeholders to build consensus and advance common goals, fostering cooperation and problem-solving.
Representing the constituents: The elected official must prioritize the needs and concerns of their constituents and work towards addressing their issues and problems.
Making informed decisions: The official must make informed decisions that are in the best interest of the constituents and the community, based on thorough research, analysis, and consultation with relevant stakeholders.
Financial transparency and government accountability are essential components of a healthy democracy.
Transparency in government finances allows citizens to hold elected officials accountable for their spending decisions and ensures that public funds are used efficiently and effectively. This, in turn, promotes trust and confidence in government, as citizens are better able to understand how their taxes are being used.
