PRIORITIES

“The citizens of Virginia Beach have elected me to represent them since 2018! I serve as a voice for the residents of the 96th district in the Virginia House of Delegates. I am committed to serving my constituents and making Virginia a better place for working families!”

Reproductive Freedom

As a delegate, I am committed to advocating for reproductive freedom. Every person should have the right to make their own decisions about their reproductive health, including access to contraception, safe and legal abortion, and comprehensive sex education. I will work tirelessly to protect and expand these rights, ensuring that everyone has the freedom to make choices that are best for their own body. Together, we can create a world where reproductive freedom is a fundamental human right.

Economic Development

Lowering costs and raising wages for everyday Virginians are my top priorities. From lowering prescription drug prices to opposing corporate tax cuts, I have been proud to stand up for working families. I’m also promoting policies that stimulate job growth, attract businesses, and support small businesses and entrepreneurs. This may include advocating for tax incentives, workforce development programs, and infrastructure investments.

Education

Supporting policies and funding for quality education, including initiatives to improve school infrastructure, increase teacher salaries, expand access to early childhood education, and enhance vocational training programs. Keeping public money in public schools is a top educational priority.


Environment & Sustainability

Championing legislation to address climate change, promote clean energy alternatives, protect natural resources, and reduce pollution. This may involve supporting renewable energy initiatives, advocating for stricter environmental regulations, and promoting conservation efforts.
