Get StartedI believe that the government's role should be one of incentivizing birth control, providing free or low-cost prenatal care, and that adoption law should be strengthened. I believe we should do everything to ensure the safest environment possible for those children who are brought into this world to parents who want to provide them with a better path forward.

I believe that abortion should be safe, legal and rare. I believe that it is a sadly necessary medical intervention, when the mother's life is endangered. I believe that kindness, grace and dignity should be afforded those who must endure such a procedure. Learn more
I do not support defunding our Police departments. Learn more
I do support common-sense reform in Police training and policies. This would include legislation preventing the use of federally-allocated funds for police departments to acquire vehicles designed for the battlefields of war. This would also include making allocations of federal funds to enable mental health professionals to accompany responding officers on designated call responses. This would include an end, by federal legislation, of the use of "no-knock" warrants. Learn more
I believe the duty of our Police officers is to protect and serve our communities. I believe in providing the Police all the means necessary to carry out that duty. I believe that protection can be carried out, in many cases, much more effectively with words than at the barrel of a gun. Learn more
Our current federal law still treats marijuana as a public menace, and still disproportionately impacts people of color throughout the Commonwealth and across the nation. I will introduce federal legislation of my own, or support any other reasonable legislation which will legalize the cultivation, production, research, use and possession of marijuana and its derivatives.

There is no reason, at all, why Medicare should not be opened up as a public option for all Americans to choose from. Study after study has shown that the efficiency and cost-savings of Medicare vs. Private insurance provides a better financial outcome for subscribers. Learn more
I do however fully support the ability of Americans to opt-in to a private or faith-based insurance plan, if they feel that is a better fit for their finances, their families, and their needs. Learn more
I would support legislation tailored to severely limit the number of single-family properties that could be acquired by a corporate entity. I would ensure that there are no loopholes available which would allow the creation of shadow companies to sidestep any such regulations. I would favor legislation instituting punitive taxation on the profits of those corporations which would seek to continue to destroy the foundation of our livelihood. Learn more
