- REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS - Now is the time to codify the reproductive rights afforded by Roe V. Wade into law. The House of Representatives passed the Women's Health Protection Act. Partisan politics are preventing the legislation from moving forward in the Senate despite most Americans supporting the right to choose: the time is now to elect bipartisan representatives.
- EDUCATION: Modern education leads to a better economic future. Louisiana's children deserve a world-class education that begins at pre-k 3. We can support strong academic leadership in the classroom by providing competitive salaries and recruiting top educators. Academic success is the foundation of our economic future.
- STORM MITIGATION: With the ocean heating and rising sea level, we have to invest in our infrastructure to prevent severe life-threatening damage to our homes and communities. We deserve to live peacefully during the summer, knowing our infrastructure will keep us safe. We must reinforce flood protection around Lake Pontchartrain, prevent water buildup upstream during storms, provide tree removal programs and evacuation support, and work with insurance companies to offer affordable and sustainable policies.
EDUCATION: Modern education leads to a better economic future. We can support strong academic leadership in the classroom by providing competitive salaries and recruiting top educators.
