Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I've spent my entire life in the south Newark, and I've grown up loving the richness and diversity of my community. However, I've also seen the struggles that people have to deal with. In middle school, I went to public school but in high school I ended up going to a charter school because my parents were worried about the quality of our local school. When in college, I started working in the state legislature as a fellow and eventually a full-time staffer and saw up close how our legislators were not willing or able to fix the fundamental problems of our community, whether they be education, health care, or criminal justice reform. From my years as a legislative aide and then a policy analyst at the Biden Institute, but also my years as an organizer and community activist, I believe that I have the perspective and the experience that our community needs.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

I believe that we should be funding our schools fairly, so that every child can go to their local neighborhood school and still get a quality education.I believe that health care is a human right, and we should ensure that everyone in Delaware gets the care they need.I know that Black Lives Matter, and believe that we should change our criminal justice system to reflect that fact.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am passionate about any policy that concerns economic and social justice. That includes the education, health care, and criminal justice reform, but also housing, workers rights, corporate accountability, and voting rights.

Do you believe that it’s beneficial for state legislators to have previous experience in government or politics?

I believe that it can be useful to understand the governing process, but it's more important to be connected with the people that you are representing.

What process do you favor for redistricting?

I would support Delaware creating an independent redistricting commission. I believe that our district borders should be based on compactness and fairness, not what is convenient to our political leadership. I've seen too many examples where districts were drawn poorly to punish incumbents, discourage challengers, or gain advantage.
