For the past several years Kristina has diligently lobbied our US Senators and Representatives with organizations like Vet Voice Foundation for issues like fully funding our Land and Water Conservation Fund and MOMS Demand Action against Gun Violence for common-sense gun laws. She has also worked on more local issues by encouraging Warren City Council to create a Veterans Committee within the city to further help and educate Veterans on the benefits they have earned.
Kristina lives in Warren with her husband Anthony and their three children, Logan, Daisy, and stepdaughter Elizabeth.- As your State Representative, I will fight for myself, our daughters, and all women by advocating that a women's reproductive health is between her, her partner, and her doctor. If the Supreme Court overturns Roe vs Wade we cannot allow the current, archaic laws on Michigan's books to dictate a woman's body. The 1931 statute would ban abortions, causing women to either drive long distances for medical care or dangerously take matters into their own hands. Not only does this place an unfair burden on women, but it also overwhelmingly has more of a negative impact on poor communities who cannot afford to travel or pay out of pockets for medical procedures.
- Quality education and better jobs will lead to a stronger tax base to help fund more infrastructure projects like fixing roads the right way, more access to broadband, clean water, and reliable public transportation. As your State Representative, I will fight to get our fair share of funds for projects like Mound Road south of 696 and changing road funding to be based on traffic volume not miles of road.
- With all the stress that can come from our modern lives, pressures from work, school, or our connected society, we need to invest in mental health programs and access. With everyone on camera 24 hours a day we see now more than ever how investments in mental health could have prevented school murders, many of the 1472 suicides in Michigan, and slowed the addiction epidemic that kills over 2,700 Michiganders with overdoses. There are many aspects of mental health and as your State Representative, I will make sure it gets addressed in as many ways as possible.
Not everyone is destined for college but programs like the Academies at Center Line Public Schools give students the building blocks to get good-paying jobs in the skilled trades. Expanding and investing in these programs, and coordinating with schools and unions can be life-altering, fills a need in our workforce, and are assets to Michigan's economy.
In addition to being an advocate for education, I will also fight to reform Michigan's charter schools. Michigan's charter schools have some of the most lax laws and regulations in the county with little to no accountability. They use public taxpayers' money and profit off our children. I will fight so our schools, whether charter or public, are held to the same standards, are accountable for their actions, and are liable when they bail on their promises for a profit.
For those who aspire to attend college, it needs to be attainable. We can do this by improving access to scholarships, METT, and 529s. Partnering with businesses and wealthy individuals to expand the number of promise zone schools in Michigan so that those that do get degrees are not crippled with debt.
