| Collapse all
- We must bring accountability and transparency to The State House.
- We must fully fund our schools and strengthen public education in Massachusetts.
- We must do everything we can to protect the rights of birthing persons to fully bodily autonomy in Massachusetts.
Public Safety and Community Trust: We need true Democratic representation. Not a politician that sides with Republicans on common sense policing reforms. I will be a strong voice for keeping our community safe while being an active partner in building community trust with law enforcement.
