I am passionate about any policies focused on improving community and individual health and well-being, especially for vulnerable populations. For centuries, Black, Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC), the poor, disabled, women and children, and our elderly have been the victims of significant disparities that are driven by social, political, and economic inequities. In particular, I prioritize legislation that promotes individual choice, improves access to quality and affordable healthcare and education, drives economic viability, and supports families, seniors, and the disabled.
One of my top priorities for legislative action in 2025 will be modifying a bill I have sponsored for the last five years. This bill provides students with nurses and mental health professionals in their schools. I am currently working in collaboration with nursing associations, mental health advocates, and constituents to modify the proposal as needed in preparation for the 2025 bill filing.
