Issue Position: Life/Choice

Issue Position

I am an ardent supporter of programs and services that empower women and girls; and those that seek to educate our community about pregnancy and family planning.

I personally oppose abortion. It is a belief rooted in my faith and my faith is important to me. This is a very complicated issue about which I feel deeply conflicted, and I think that makes me very much like most people.

And as an elected official, I understand that I am responsible to all of my constituents and their varied needs. Roe v Wade is the law of the land and it is my responsibility to uphold the law, which I will do. I will not vote to restrict access to or funding for programs and services for women who seek services.

In order to be true to both my personal belief system and to my constituents, I have not sought the endorsement of any organization or group that creates endorsements based upon this this particular issue.
