Statement: I've spent my career helping kids and families thrive,
building coalitions, and crafting policies that make a difference. With your
vote I'll bring proven, effective leadership and strong, progressive values to
a State Senate in need of bold ideas and the skills to make them work.
I've led regional efforts to provide healthy starts for kids and believe in
universal access to quality, affordable care for all. I'm committed to
protecting and expanding health care access-including fundamental rights of
women, mental health coverage, and Medicare options for seniors. As a public
school mom and advocate for responsible gun laws, I am passionate about efforts
to raise the firearm purchasing age, hold gun owners accountable when their
weapons fall into the wrong hands, and restrict access to the deadliest
weapons.
Like many, I am tired of quick-fix state policies that raise property taxes and
sales taxes. I will demand reform of our regressive tax structure, including a
capital gains tax and other policies that tax wealth, not work.
