Get StartedI fully support a woman’s right to make personal decisions about her health and her body without interference from the state, either in limiting her options or trying to shame her. Learn more
If elected, preserving our environment and addressing climate change through tangible, sustainable solutions will be a top legislative priority. Some of my priorities include: Expansion of rooftop, parking lot, landfill, right of way, land for solar power. There is so much non-agricultural and non-forestry “real estate” that can be accessed that there should NOT be a conflict between the solar industry and our rural legislators. Increase battery storage, and other non-fossil fuel options, to ensure baseline power generation is aligned with power usage, and negates any justification for new fossil fuel peaker plants. Restore funding to the energy efficiency programs to reduce demand on the electrical grid. Learn more
I intend to continue to serve my country as an elected representative in Virginia’s 10th Congressional District so that I can ensure democracy remains our style of government. This includes addressing gerrymandering, misinformation that polarizes our country, and taking on those who would misrepresent the facts, merely to ensure their own power. This commitment to protecting our democratic principles does not stop at the shoreline; we must actively work to guarantee and defend our democratic allies, like the Ukraine and Israel, in the face of tyranny and terrorism. We are still the beacon for hope, freedom, justice, and the rule of law to people around the world. I still believe in our nation’s founding principles and will fight for those values in Congress.

One of the most important policy efforts I plan to champion is universal access to preventative care for the following items: vaccines, pap smears, blood pressure, and glucose levels. So many diagnoses come after the illness has set in and the care becomes that much more expensive. One of the easiest ways to prevent this from happening is to ensure everyone regardless of the health coverage can access basic preventatives so they have information to make lifestyle changes before things get dire.

We have to look at making healthcare affordable and accessible to everyone. We also need to recognize that healthcare includes medical, dental, and vision care. Affordable prescription drugs are critical to ensuring that individuals can treat their illnesses in a timely manner. During my time in the Virginia Legislature, we set a cap on insulin, effectively ensuring that Virginians could better afford this baseline medication. This is a model I feel we can follow at the national level for more than just insulin. Further, we have multiple healthcare programs that are managed by the government (Medicare, Medicaid, VA, Tricare, etc.). There should be a way to bring all of these under a single umbrella that would create efficiencies, provide service, and be open to new enrollees who did not have access to other care. Lastly, we need to find a way for Medicaid to be the provider of last resort instead of COBRA, effectively ensuring that everyone has access to quality healthcare no matter where they live or their economic status.
