Climate Change: The effects of climate change are becoming more and more apparent every day. As your representative, I will work to pass legislation that reduces our carbon footprint, invests in renewable energy, and protects our natural resources for future generations.
Education: Our children are our future, and it's crucial that we provide them with a high-quality education. As your representative, I will work to increase funding for public schools, reduce the burden of student debt, and ensure that every child has the opportunity to succeed.
