Occupation
Legislator
My top priorities focus on education, workers’ rights, and climate & economy. I am committed to working to ensure our public schools are fully funded, energy efficient, and free of toxins.
I strongly support growing and strengthening labor unions. We must invest in social safety nets and public institutions to create unionized, family sustaining jobs, offering stability and consistency instead of forcing workers into a cycle of precarity.
We must increase PA’s minimum wage to at least $15/hr, and pass statewide Fair Workweek legislation to ensure predictable work schedules and pay for workers. To slow climate change, we must invest in clean energy, electrification, efficiency, and climate adaptation, and expand our public transit systems.
Voting is a fundamental right that should be easily accessible. I support the option for mail-in ballots, making election day a federal holiday, automatic voter registration, and on-site voter registration.
I have been working since my inauguration in January 2019 to fight for healthy, energy efficient, 21st Century public schools. I have introduced a number of pieces of legislation to demand emergency funding to remediate lead, mold, and asbestos in our schools to protect the health and safety of children and all school workers. I support fully and fairly funded schools and sending all basic education dollars through the Fair Funding Formula. I also authored the Solar for Schools Grant Program, which will provide money to schools to convert to solar energy, providing CTE opportunities for students and freeing up much-needed funds for facilities repairs.
A core tenet of my platform is the belief that every Pennsylvanian should have access to safe, high quality, and affordable healthcare, including abortion services. We must not only fight to protect access to reproductive healthcare in Pennsylvania, but expand and strengthen the protections currently in place. That is why I’ve co-sponsored legislation designed to remove obstacles to abortion care in Pennsylvania and protect abortion providers.
