What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

This crisis is more than a policy debate; it reflects our shared humanity. As a child of immigrants, I know that every individual seeking a better life on our shores has a story, and our response must be rooted in compassion and understanding. That starts by providing our country’s newest arrivals with the resources and services they need to build a brighter future.
