Our stance on key issues
Health policy
Ensuring every resident has access to affordable, high-quality healthcare is a foundational priority. This includes strengthening community health resources, improving mental health support, and addressing the barriers that prevent families from receiving the care they need.
Social policy (including housing)
Building a fair, safe, and supportive district means advancing policies that promote equity, protect civil rights, and strengthen the social fabric of our communities. A central part of this is affordable, stable housing — expanding access, improving housing conditions, and supporting initiatives that prevent homelessness. Strong social policy ensures that every resident has the opportunity to live with dignity and security.
Education policy
Education is the backbone of long-term community success. This includes advocating for better funding, safer schools, expanded access to early childhood education, and programs that prepare students for both college and career pathways.
