| Collapse all
- Pro-Choice: I firmly believe that every person has the right to make decisions about their own body. This includes the right to access safe and legal abortion services. I will fight to ensure that reproductive health care remains accessible to all, without interference from the government. Protecting this fundamental right is essential to ensuring the health, dignity, and autonomy of all individuals.
- Pro Public Schools: Our public schools are the bedrock of our democracy and the key to our future prosperity. I am dedicated to strengthening our public education system by ensuring that schools are adequately funded, teachers are supported, and students are given every opportunity to succeed. Every child deserves access to high-quality education, regardless of their zip code. Investing in our schools means investing in our children, our communities, and our future.
- Pro LGBTQIA+: As a member of this community, I stand in solidarity with the LGBTQIA+ and am committed to fighting for equal rights and protections for all. Discrimination and bigotry have no place in our society. I will work tirelessly to ensure that every individual, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, is treated with respect and dignity. This includes defending the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act, supporting inclusive policies in our schools and workplaces, and promoting a culture of acceptance and love.
Together, we can build a society that respects individual choices, values education, and celebrates diversity. I am dedicated to being a champion for these causes and to creating a brighter, more inclusive future for all.
