I will fight for:
Accessibility for All
We have a long way to go when it comes to ensuring all Delawareans have access to the most basic of places. This is most important for the disabled community.
​
Working to increase support, awareness, and updated accessibility in the state will bridge the gap of those who have been told they can't and bring their voices to a table of equity.
Housing and Tenants' Rights
The housing crisis has made home ownership unaffordable to most and sent rent prices skyrocketing. Housing is a human right. I support giving every Delawarean a realistic option to own a home and I support measures to control rent and a tenants’ right to counsel during eviction.
Education
As a sitting member of the Education committee, I worked alongside my colleagues to pass stronger legislations, including providing free lunch for families in need, increased pay for our educators, and funding for our schools.
​
Delaware sits at 45 among our country's education rating. I intend to continue fighting for a restorative reform approach to improve the current issues facing our schools.
Reproductive Healthcare
Supporting reproductive rights in healthcare this session has been a great honor. I am proud that I kept my promise to ensure Delaware remains a safe haven for women and their right to autonomy.
Incarcerated Women's Health
Being incarcerated does not equal lack of basic healthcare rights. Incarcerated women are most often imprisoned due to the inability to pay fines and fees. This leads to the breakdown of families, poverty, and childhood trauma.
​​
And that is why I am proud that my bills for mammograms (HB313) and allowing creation of birth plans (HB426) passed both the House and Senate unanimously my first term.
Medical & Mental Healthcare
No one should fear stigma, deal with inequitable disparities, or have to delay care due to unaffordable costs. As a mental health provider, working to bridge gaps are top priority for me.
​This year I supported legislation to combat all of these concerns as I have always believed in people over profits and care over consumerism.
Environmental Justice
Delaware is the country’s lowest lying state, and the effects of climate change will be catastrophic. Marginalized communities will feel the impact in much more severity than wealthier areas.
​
My consistent rallying and support of environmental justice reform can be seen in the legislation I wholeheartedly cosponsored throughout my first term as a state representative. And I will continue to do so until we have a clean state we can continue to love.
