  • I will fight to ensure that our education system is fully funded, that our teachers get the raises they deserve and that extra curricular activities have the resources they need to continue so that our children can have the best education posisble.
  • I will ensure that we pass CPS laws that not only have good intentions, but that also will have good long term effects on the CPS system and that will protect both our children's and our parents rights.
  • I will fight to ensure that women's healthcare is at the forefront of the conversation and that women get affordable access to the healthcare they need and deserve.
