Healthcare getting NYHA passed making life affordable for families protecting our environment
More solar usage, more regulations on data centers and AI. Our drinking water open spaces,coastlines,and parks are vital to our health and well being. I support stronger protections for our water supply, investments in clean energy and resilient infrastructure, and responsible redevelopment.
I will pursue policies that reduce disparities in healthcare, including better access to preventive care ,maternal care, mental health services, and affordable treatment in underserved communities. I will support funding for public schools, expanded vocational and technical education.
New York must protect equal voting rights while ensuring that its district maps comply with the constitution. We should preserve strong protections against intentional discrimination. We need to supply the AG with the resources necessary to enforce those protections
