Education—improving all students' readiness for college and careers: homelessness, substance abuse, and affordable housing
That is my father, who has since passed away. He instilled in my siblings and myself the belief that nothing could keep us from becoming who we want to be. And nobody is better than you, nor are you lesser to anybody else.
Master of the Senate, By Robert Caro Book Three of The Years of Lyndon Johnson.
Being a Listener, transparent, honest, truthful, and accessible.
I believe that arriving at work each day with an open mind and a desire to work with anyone to accomplish goals are the core responsibilities of any elected official.
That any and everything I did, was for others. I was genuine in my approach and that my word was my bond, and I always said what I was going to do.
Wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer in 1981.
K-Mart, for two interesting years.
“I know Why the Caged Bird Sings” by Maya Angelou. It’s a heartwarming and heartbreaking autobiography of her life.
Dora the Explorer! Because embarking on adventures at the drop of a hat, without a care in the world, seems to be a wonderful way to live!
Mary J. Blige - Just Fine
Ideally, a healthy professional and working partnership. That thrives on the simple fact that we share the same commitment to improving the lives of our citizens.
Education, Cost of living and Public Safety. We need to be taking steps to mitigate the impacts COVID has had on our educational system. Ensuring that the cost of living continues to decrease and that everyone feels safe in their communities. 
Yes and No. There are outstanding lawmakers, and our nation and communities owe them a tremendous deal for their years of service and vast knowledge. Although those without prior political experience are important as well since we need a government that reflects our community. Increased participation of individuals from different backgrounds and walks of life will help our communities become more responsive and representative.
Yes, that's is the only way you're going to get anything done. You're going to have to talk to legislators from different areas than where you are from, various views on issues, etc. Building relationships is crucial to being an effective legislator to get things done.
Appropriations, Economic Matters, or Ways & Means.
Tom Bradley, Former Mayor of Los Angeles.
I met a young mother while door-knocking. We started speaking, and she expressed worry about the long-term effects of COVID on our children. She was concerned about the fact that so many children, including her own, were being left behind or that those who were doing better were not receiving the proper amount of attention. As a mother of three and founder of the Blossom School of Etiquette, that story resonated with me because, at the end of the day, we all want our children and young adults to succeed. These are legitimate worries.
Absolutely, compromise is necessary for policymaking. I believe that we all have more in common than we realize, so it's about finding those areas where we can agree on. Finally, I would want everything I work on in the House of Delegates to be bipartisan, which will require necessary compromise.
