| Collapse all
- I support the agendas that maintain a citizen's dignity, protection and ability to thrive; like pushing for a $15 an hour Working Wage and Gun Violence Reform.
- I believe my district needs an advocate that can move us forward from our housing issues of extreme gentrification, no rent caps, predatory mortgage lending and homeowner intimidation practices.
- I am the candidate that has a 20 years career of working in a State Representative's office; making me an experienced advocate to lead our community as we recover from the aftermath of the COVID - 19 Pandemic.
Creating a joint state/city effort to bring world-class education to our district (initiating partnerships with all colleges to support the schools of my district).
Being a supporter of the Green New Deal on the state level.
I support legislation that financially protects citizens who have lost income due to the COVID - 19 Pandemic and now cannot afford monthly payments or groceries.
