What would be your top three priorities, if elected?

Supporting a real, progressive Democratic majority in the State Senate that puts the people's interest first so that we can

1) Finally fully funding our public schools for all our children. 2) Stand up against special interests and landlords and for tenants and affordable housing. 3) Pass election, campaign finance and criminal justice reform.[10][11]

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?

Government must level the playing field and fight for our children, our seniors and those least fortunate. We must give every child the chance to succeed, health care is a right not a privilege, and we must protect affordable housing so that seniors can stay here, young people can start here and the middle class can thrive. We are made strong by our diversity and we must promote equality, justice and fairness. Workers deserve good jobs with good benefits and we all need clean air to breath, clean water to drink and open spaces to enjoy. Those are the principle that have guided me as a labor representative, tenant leader and elected official and that I will fight for as the next State Senator.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[11]
