Issue Position
Issues: Women Health and Health Care
I was inspired to run for Delegate after having attended the Women's March in Washington DC in January 2017. #WomensRightsAreHumanRights I support the right to choose, equal pay, non-discrimination in the workplace, and strong laws that stop violence against women.
Women make up 51% of the US population but comprise a much smaller percentage of representatives throughout our nation's statehouses and our Congress. I am proud to be one of 43 women running for the House of Delegates this year. I will:
*Fight for the right of women to make their own health care decisions in conjunction with their physicians
*Fight for paid family leave for women and men of Virginia
*Push to expand Medicaid in Virginia
