Get StartedI have seen more small businesses closed or moved out of this community and it is heartbreaking when our community members work so hard to start a business and can’t sustain them due to lack of support. I have heard stories of small businesses owners who are still facing difficulties to run again after they were destroyed in 2020. While I do not have a business background, I have a big heart, time to listen, and I will fight to put the concerns and voices of the community into legislation. Learn more
I took advantage of every opportunity that was presented to me. That is why I want to fight for culturally relevant and high quality schools. Our children and youth need to learn and know their identity and they also need high quality education to compete with their peers and succeed in the future. I will also fight for programs to diversify classroom teachers in order to bring a broader perspective to our children’s education. Learn more
I firmly believe that Gun Violence should be a national public health issue and limiting accessibility to guns in our community will reduce the hate crimes or any other crimes that are taking place in our communities. A majority of residents of 62A are of color and New Americans and we know our communities are facing targeted hate crimes. We cannot just sit down and just debate this issue. As your representative, I will walk with you when we have to and I will work hard to find solutions and will champion legislation that ends gun violence. Learn more
I will fight for universal healthcare and push for our state to invest in preventative care and mental health. I support a single-payer system in which no one is turned away from health care because they cannot afford insurance. Learn more
The opioid crisis is one specific health issue affecting our community. I will work across parties, with colleagues on the federal level, and with experts on the issue to push for increased resources for pain management, overdose treatment, and addiction mitigation. I will advocate for innovative solutions to this crisis, including research partnerships between pharmaceutical companies and Universities. I will support resources for culturally specific clinics to treat and educate the people who are most affected. Learn more
