Get StartedI support the codification of Roe v. Wade and believe that women should have the freedom to control their own bodies. Learn more
Voting rights must be protected at all costs because voting is the premise upon which all else is built. Learn more
I acknowledge that there remains profound structural racism in this country, and I support efforts to remedy this social ill. Learn more
I would end cash bail for non-violent offenders. Lives can be ruined just because you are poor and the balance in your bank account shouldn't dictate your freedom. Learn more
We need to fund and train the police to improve racial bias certainly, but we also need to support the police with additional personnel so that officers can focus on matters of policing instead of a myriad of social problems such as substance use disorder and metal illness. Learn more
Medical cannabis should be available at a doctor's discretion. If we can ease someone's suffering and relieve their pain, we should. It would also reduce opioid dependence which is terribly important. Learn more
I believe that decriminalizing the personal use of small amounts of recreational cannabis is the right move at this time because we have too many people who have a stigmatized criminal record. This limits their opportunities unnecessarily and it's time we move forward on this issue. Learn more
I support programs that will make our community college system more accessible to more students. I would be interested in examining expanded grant programs, apprenticeship programs, and work/study programs. Learn more

It's time to end gerrymandering by establishing an independent commission charged with drawing our districts using mapmaking criteria as determined by the judiciary. Learn more
We must ban assault weapons to protect our children and our police officers. We know the ban works because we tried it and it saved lives. Letting the ban expire was reckless and we must renew it immediately at the federal level. Learn more
I support common sense gun control including universal background checks, safe storage, and extreme risk protective orders as a good start. Learn more
We must find a way to supplement affordable workforce housing, because firefighters, teachers, and civil service workers need to be able to live in the communities they serve. Learn more
CONGRESS must address immigration reform in a holistic and comprehensive manner, rather than the piecemeal approach that has taken place since the 1960s. Learn more
I support the electrification of our governmental fleet, and I support the expansion of public charging stations to encourage consumers to buy EVs. Learn more
I support passing statewide nondiscrimination legislation. Learn more
I support re-evaluating our tax structure so that it does not disproportionately affect those in lower income brackets. Learn more
We must raise the minimum wage in an intentional manner that moves workers out of poverty, while giving businesses the capacity to flex and adapt. Striking that balance can and must be the path forward. Learn more
