Statement: As Chair of the Economic Development and International Trade Committee, I lead the effort to reform our state’s economic development programs and advocate for working families and small businesses. I advocate for technological innovation, including statewide broadband, and adopting beneficial policies like the $400 million property tax cut that will go into effect next year.

I pledge to continue my work on tax reform by ending old, unproductive tax exemptions, and restoring full funding for education, social services, and essential public works that benefit all of us. I will continue to prioritize state and local parks, trees, and open spaces that are necessary for our physical and emotional health.

I sponsor crucial legislation that delivers fairness and justice for the people of our state such as the ban on bump stocks, the Voting Rights Act, the Reproductive Parity Act, the Future of Work, and more. I am asking for your vote so I can continue to represent you and create opportunities for all.
