Issue Position: Women's Economic Agenda

Issue Position

Virginia's economy can only reach its full potential when women succeed. In Richmond, Shelly will fight for equal pay for equal work, which disproportionately affects women of color. As a mother, Shelly knows how much caring for children can impact a woman's ability to work. That's why she'll work to make sure every mother in Newport News has access to affordable childcare and quality Pre-K. She'll also fight to introduce school days that line up with the work day and increase funding for summer learning programs.
