Issue Position: Defending Women's Rights

Issue Position

Although women make up half our citizens, they continue to be underrepresented in government. Pursuing my education while raising two children as a single mother enforced in me the idea that despite the unique challenges women face, there are few protections and support offered to women trying to do better for themselves and their families.

My record as a fervent supporter for equal pay for equal work, and in the protection of a woman's right to choose have earned me the endorsement of groups such as Planned Parenthood and Emily's List. I also co-sponsored HB 16, which sought to decriminalize abortion in the state.
