Healthcare access is one of the biggest issues facing Kent county, especially equal access. I have worked with my colleagues in the General Assembly to bring more healthcare workers to Kent county by increasing loan forgiveness for doctors and nurses and increasing slots in our physician training program. I have worked to increase fairness in health care delivery by requiring insurance to cover screenings for breast, prostate, and ovarian cancers so that we can catch these terrible diseases earlier.
In the General Assembly I will work to bring down the price of prescription drugs and help break down the barriers that prevent our citizens from accessing safe and affordable generic alternatives.
I was proud to support legislation introduced at the end of the 2024 session that made someone's housing status, such as homelessness, a protected class in employment and fair housing law. But is addressing a symptom, not the cause of our problem.
I believe we need to build more affordable housing and I look forward to seeing the results of the affordable housing production taskforce that is taking place this fall. A report from DSHA showed we were building thousands less units than we need each year. We need to find ways to build more units and I will support the task force's findings and help enact their recommendations.
Government should protect a women's right to make her own reproductive choices.
I have been proud to support legislation expanding access to abortion in Delaware by offering more inclusive financial support, protecting doctors and nurses that work in reproductive health from other State's reactionary policies, and ensuring that our residents have access to the reproductive care they need no matter where they are, even if they are a student at a university. I will continue doing everything in my power to protect a women's right to make her own healthcare decisions free from government interference.
As a member of the Capital Infrastructure Committee I have been proud to help secure millions in State and Federal dollars to support our Clean Water Trust fund that was established in 2021. This fund has already been used to improve wells in Middletown, remove PFAs contaminants in New Castle county, and replace septic systems in Kent and Sussex county.
I will continue to support this fund that has already improved water quality in areas that had boil water advisories. By continuing State support and leveraging Federal dollars we can make it so no one in Delaware has to worry if their water is safe when they turn the tap on.
Yes I believe that we need to support all the residents of our State with services they need to succeed.
