I will fight to codify and protect reproductive rights

I will fight for the rights of our BIPOC, AAPI and LGBTQ+ constituents

Common sense gun regulations do not equal taking away your guns. Our home owns and shoot guns. I do not believe that the second amendment means unrestricted access to firearms.

I was in seventh grade when the shooting at Columbine happened. I never dreamt that mass shootings would continue with virtually no gun reform.
At times compromise can be very important. However in the current atmosphere it’s very hard to make compromises when one side is not negotiating in good faith. I think it’s important to make it known to the public what is happening so they can hold their elected officials accountable.
