| Collapse all
- I stand with the vast majority of Americans who support a woman’s reproductive rights. I will fight tirelessly to protect access to comprehensive healthcare, including reproductive services. Every woman should have the right to make her own healthcare decisions without interference. Women’s rights are under attack, and no state is safe. I am proudly endorsed by Eleanor's Legacy and Planned Parenthood of Greater New York Votes PAC.
- During my time as a public school teacher and later as a PTA mom, I saw firsthand the challenges and rewards of being an educator. Having been a member of the teachers' union while working in New York City schools, I will tirelessly advocate for educators' rights, fair wages, and workplace safety. Teachers will always have my unwavering support, and I will fight for public education and fully funding public schools. As a lifelong educator, I believe in the power of education and will fight to protect our children and their schools.
- Nassau County needs to be more affordable. I will work with unions to create good-paying jobs, support affordable local housing, and fight against predatory utility companies and industry monopolies that have run amok in Long Island. We must eliminate wasteful spending and secure affordable public electricity for families. Our senior population deserves access to affordable, high-quality healthcare, including home health care options. I will fight for safe, affordable housing that supports aging in place. Our older residents should never fear aging due to a lack of supportive resources.
