Issues

I believe in a justice system that protects public safety while also delivering fairness, rehabilitation, and second chances. For nonviolent offenses, we must prioritize alternatives to incarceration that address root causes and help people rebuild their lives. I’ll work to expand reentry programs, job training, and record-clearing opportunities, and to strengthen community-first policing that builds trust. For youth, we should replace punitive systems with restorative justice programs that keep young people in school and on track.

True public safety also means tackling gun violence with common-sense reforms that keep our communities safe while respecting the rights of responsible gun owners. I support universal background checks, safe storage laws, and keeping firearms out of the hands of domestic abusers and those with dangerous histories. Gun violence prevention must go hand in hand with violence intervention programs, mental health support, and community resources.

I believe a woman has the right to make her own healthcare decisions without interference from the government. Being pro-choice means trusting women to make deeply personal decisions about their bodies, their families, and their futures. I’ll fight to protect reproductive freedom, expand access to affordable healthcare, and address racial disparities in maternal health outcomes. Supporting women also means ensuring access to prenatal care, childcare assistance, and paid family leave.

I believe every person should have the opportunity to improve their life through hard work — but that opportunity must be real. That means raising wages, expanding workforce training, and supporting small businesses, especially those owned by women and minorities. I’ll work to increase affordable housing options, expand broadband access, and improve transportation so people can connect to jobs, healthcare, and education.

Our environment is directly tied to our health, our economy, and our safety. Flooding, pollution, and climate change are already impacting communities in Virginia — especially those historically overlooked. I’ll fight for infrastructure investments to protect against flooding, for clean energy jobs that pay well and strengthen our economy, and for the protection of our green spaces and waterways. Environmental justice means making sure no community bears a disproportionate burden from pollution or environmental risk.

I believe education is the foundation for opportunity. Every child deserves a high-quality public education, no matter their ZIP code. That means fully funding our schools, paying teachers a competitive salary, modernizing facilities, and ensuring equitable resources for all students. I’ll expand career and technical education, dual enrollment, and apprenticeship programs so students graduate ready for college or the workforce. I’ll also push for more mental health staff and programs that make our schools safe and supportive — without turning them into prison-like environments.
