Ever since I lost my son, Akilah DaSilva, in the Waffle House mass shooting of 2018, I've devoted my life to fighting for change. I’ve met with state legislators, members of congress and I’ve been engaged with nationwide gun violence prevention groups–pushing for safer gun legislation. When I started my journey in advocacy work, I never envisioned it would lead me to pursue a seat in the Tennessee Legislature. But, I'm running for office because I want to ensure that no other family goes through what mine has. My parents, both police officers, instilled in me a sense of justice and public safety. It’s no secret that our state legislation is woefully lacking in representation. We need leaders from diverse backgrounds to represent us.
Gun violence prevention, protecting public education, abortion rights, accessible healthcare, and a prospering economy.
I will fight fiercely for red flag laws, waiting periods, enhanced background checks, and a ban on the AR-15.
By approaching gun violence like a public health problem, we can reduce gun deaths while also respecting 2nd Amendment rights.
