Get StartedI simply will not support a budget that does not fund our public schools above inflation. You can count on me to work hard to ensure schools have the resources needed to succeed, that policies support students rather than target them, and that our state constitution’s requirement of a “thorough and efficient system of public schools throughout the state” is strengthened.

Climate change is an existential threat. We need bold action that reduces greenhouse gas emissions and puts us on a path to mitigating it – frankly, we needed it years ago.

I am committed to fighting for everyone’s right to join a union and come together to advocate for themselves. Having worked a job where I was literally unable to unionize, I can tell you: it matters. Learn more
