Among my top priorities when elected to my 2nd term will be: 1) the right to vote and the right to be represented; 2) the right for every child to receive a sound basic education in traditional public schools; and 3) the right to reproductive healthcare, maternal health and bodily autonomy. To address these issues, the state should reform the voting laws, invest in public education, and repeal laws that target and discriminate against women.
