As the wealthiest country in the world, we are seeing people choosing not to have children because of the cost. Our country does not do enough to help young families, and this needs to change.
I am a Health IT Professional, a parent, a voter, and someone who cares deeply about our country and wants a better outlook for generations to come.- Healthcare for All: It is time for the United States to implement universal healthcare for all of our citizens. There is a lot of red tape, profits, and questions about existing coverage that is leaving people without adequate care and unexplained costs. There are gaps in coverage, premiums are sky-high, and insurance companies are claiming more and more profits every year. Healthcare is a HUMAN right.
- Gun reform is long overdue in the United States. Firearms are the number one killer of children. Gun fatalities increased 87% between 2011 and 2021. Every day, 327 people are shot; 117 of these victims die; twelve of these victims are children. Schools no longer have Fire Drills but instead lock down drills because the the last school fire death was in 1958. The last school shooting was just three weeks ago when a 17 year old killed a classmate, his principal, and himself. We need common sense policies surrounding the access and use of firearms—universal background checks, unique serial numbers, ammunition tracking, stronger penalties for the use of ghost guns, elimination of bump stocks, and a ban on assault rifles.
- Women's reproductive rights are under assault across the country. Physicians face criminal charges in 23 states if they try to help women with the healthcare they need. Women, and children, are forced to carry pregnancies to term. The circumstances for needing an abortion are different for everyone, but one thing remains a commonality: it is NEVER a first choice, but LAST and ONLY choice. Politicians should have no say over a woman’s body. Maryland has nearly hard-coded protection for women across our state, but women across the country need a strong voice that will fight for them, and that voice is me. I will support and introduce legislation to codify abortion rights at the Federal level.
