I'm a first-generation American, a mom of three, and a social epidemiologist. I've spent my career working to reduce the social and economic inequities that plague our country and to fight for healthy communities, healthy families, and a healthy planet. From serving as science advisor to New York City's Health Commissioner during the Ebola epidemic and working to improve mental health, to many years as a policymaker at the United Nations advancing women's rights and combating climate change, I have a proven track record as someone who can lead the fight for change. I am running for Congress because the people of Massachusetts's District 4 and the United States deserve science-based leadership they can trust. As an epidemiologist, I bring a unique perspective and the experience needed to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and ensure that we protect both lives and livelihoods. I pledge to work tirelessly to undo the unfair policies that have created soaring inequalities in America, and to use my experience over the past decade in public service to ensure that prosperity is shared by all rather than hoarded by a few.
  • Building Healthy Communities: The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the failures in our healthcare system and shown that healthy communities are essential for societies to thrive. I will use science-based policies to improve the health and well-being of all members of our community.
  • Ensuring Shared Prosperity: For too long, the United States has allowed poverty, inequality, and structural racism to go unchecked. I will advocate for sound, equitable policies to meet the needs of all families, protect workers, and ensure small businesses can survive.
  • Protecting the Environment: From climate change to air pollution, biodiversity loss and toxic chemicals, the threats to our environment are growing and cannot be ignored. I will work to ensure that we leave behind a healthy planet for all our children by fighting for environmental justice today.
I bring the scientific and health expertise needed to lead what will be a years-long health and economic recovery from this pandemic, as well as over a decade of experience working on some of the other critical issues facing District 4: mental health and the opioid overdose crisis, climate change and environmental protection, creating economic opportunities, and fighting poverty. My work involves bringing together scientists and activists, to help carve a new path for our communities: one that recognizes that we are only as strong as the least healthy, least safe, and least secure among us.

The incredible momentum of this campaign shows that our health can't wait any longer and that people in District 4 want a voice for science in government. They want to ensure that decisions and measures taken protect the lives, livelihoods, and dignity of all Americans and set us on a new path towards shared prosperity that protects the health of people and the planet.
