As our state senator, Laurie will continue advocate for those who need a voice in Trenton. She understands the challenges that our families face because she raised her family here. Laurie will stand up for our working families by ensuring our schools are fully funded while holding the line on property taxes. She’ll fight to reestablish the funding for critical women’s health services that have been slashed under Republican leadership so that women have access to lifesaving care they deserve. And Laurie will make sure our children are growing up in a community with clean air and safe drinking water. Laurie’s unique perspective as an advocate for those most in need of a voice makes her the fighter we need for our families in Trenton.[7] |
