Issue Position: Seniors

Issue Position

Jamaal is already fighting for seniors in our community. During the winter, he got a call from a senior housing facility telling him the heat wasn't working during below-freezing weather. Jamaal sprang into action, speaking up for the residents with building management and R.A.I.N. until the heat was restored. But his work didn't end there: He organized a town hall meeting to address other building issues to make sure that the seniors in our community have the resources they need.

As a member of Butler Memorial United Methodist Church, Jamaal has worked extensively with seniors. As an attorney, he has represented them--even saving one senior resident from eviction from her home.

In the State Senate, Jamaal will keep fighting for seniors by defending funding of senior centers, creating more dedicated spaces for seniors to gather and protecting meals-on-wheels and other essential programs.
