Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I currently work for the U.S. Senate on policy, outreach and constituent services. I have represented the Rochester region, advocating our needs for Senator Gillibrand and previously, Senator Hillary Clinton. In this position I work with countless community groups, organizations, businesses, constituents, and local governments. With almost two decades of experience, I have built an extensive network of connections across our county and throughout the state that I will use to help our community.

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?

EducationEnvironmentSocial Justice

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Very top of my list is to continue responding to our current health crisis and helping our community recover. Beyond this my top three priorities are education, environment and social justice.

Education is a constitutionally mandated right for the children in our state. And I believe properly investing in each generation of students is the best economic development tool we have. Public education must finally be fully funded and equitable for everyone regardless of zip code.

The environment is our home, we should be aggressive on the policies that protect it- both in energy use, but also how we protect and preserve our beautiful lands and parks. Now is a critical time to enact the recent Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act and Accelerated Renewable Energy Growth and Community Benefit Act. There are still rules to draft, studies to finish, hearings to hold and a new agency to be set up, and I look forward to being part of this process for we must invest our public dollars into green jobs and clean energy, we must expedite green shovel-ready projects that will create thousands of jobs and worth of billions of dollars

Finally, social justice encompasses a few key issues. First the belief that food access, affordable and accessible healthcare, and housing are human rights. And second is that we must fight for racial justice by dismantling the historic and systematic barriers that have disproportionately affected communities of color.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

There are so many inspirational people out there, and I have been lucky to work for two of mine, Hillary Clinton and Kirsten Gillibrand. But truly I am in awe of all the women out there, especially all these amazing women that are running companies or changing government for the better, their leadership is forever changing the role of women in our society. For me personally though, it has to be my children. They have such a passion for life, for people and for this earth, I feel so lucky to be a part of their journey. And on those crazy days, they definitely help me remember what we are fighting for and what is most important.
