Statement: I ask for your vote so I can keep fighting for safe and healthy communities. I want mental health counselors, nurses, and special needs educators in our schools and colleges. I secured funding for college student financial aid and career and technical education pathways for maritime and manufacturing jobs. My legislation advances clean energy solutions to combat climate change. I will propose a more fair, stable tax structure to sustain funding for living-wage jobs, public education, affordable housing and healthcare, and transit.
