Additional Information
I am a mom and educator, who cares deeply about the health and wellness of women, our kids, and seniors. If elected, I will represent the 20th District with respect to these experiences and those I learn from listening to members of this community. The Cape community has supported me for many years, I hope to continue with that support to make a greater impact.
Our state faces two critical challenges: education and health care. To address these issues we need to ensure we invest equitably in education by increasing funding for teacher salaries and retiree pensions, ensuring that our educators are well-supported and our educational system remains strong.
For health care we need to provide robust support to local hospitals and physicians, working collaboratively to expand access to care and meet the needs of our growing population effectively.
To address the issue of homelessness in Delaware, I would propose legislation that demonstrates strong support for the annual state budget bill with a focus on increasing funding for the Delaware State Housing Authority. This boost in resources would enhance housing availability in Sussex County and across the state. As well as, development of innovative incentives to engage and support advocates for affordable housing, fostering creative solutions and greater community involvement in addressing this critical issue.
The government should play a key role in expanding access and support for an increase in availability and choices for women's health. As well as continuing to provide women and all individuals with the freedoms they need to make the choices they feel are appropriate in their own lives.
As I work to represent an area grappling with challenges related to the consistent availability of clean water, prioritizing increased state budgetary support for the Clean Water Fund will be essential. This investment is crucial to addressing and improving our region's access to reliable, safe drinking water.
I would support innovative legislation aimed at expanding access to healthcare, housing, and financial services for immigrants. Additionally, I am committed to ensuring that these vital services are available to all Delawareans in need.

Additional Information
I have been actively involved with numerous State and Local community organizations for many years. I have a proven record of successful service in all organizations.
Providing a living wage to afford the basics of life, affordable housing, childcare, health care, and education are support programs that help recruit and retain a workforce by addressing these issues. Growth must be evaluated and not allowed to go unchecked, ensuring plans to address increased needs for transportation, as well as adequate and safe roads. I support state funding for land preservation, public transportation, environmental protection, and green jobs. Access to high quality early childhood education, and the early identification of disabilities is important. I promote expanding access to high quality education at all levels. I encourage programs that inform high school students of their post-secondary opportunities.
I believe everyone deserves safe and clean shelter. I co-sponsored DE Bill 246 that provides support for home repairs for low and very low income residents to keep them in their homes and eliminate possible homelessness. We must review options to house and protect our growing homeless populations.
I believe bodily autonomy is a human right. I support protections for individuals and health care providers to ensure that privacy and rights are protected in making reproductive choices and that no adverse actions can be taken against services that are legal in this state.
The infrastructure in Delaware for maintaining quality water standards must remain up to date. Testing and analysis conducted at regular intervals are important to ensure the water system meets appropriate standards. I support funding for the Delaware Clean Water Initiative for all communities with an emphasis on underserved communities, which helps provide clean public drinking water for the State's low income and underserved communities.
YES. I believe all people deserve adequate healthcare, housing and financial services. I support funding for the Delaware State Housing Authority and the Delaware Department of Health and Social Services to subsidize all low income individuals and families. All humans have a right to live with dignity.
