Priority Issues:
I strongly support women's rights for equal pay and to health care coverage that includes birth control and that a woman,...
not politicians, should make the informed decisions when it comes to her own pregnancy. One of the roles of a democratic society is to provide opportunities for its members to live full and productive lives, so I support public education, a living wage for our families, broad-based economic development and protecting the environment.
