Issues

Public Education

As an educator, my voice is needed in the halls of Frankfort to serve as an advocate for students and teachers. I see the real impacts of the decisions made by our legislators every day whether they directly relate to education or not because each classroom is a reflection of our community. Jefferson County Public Schools are often treated differently than any other school system, and my voice could help draw attention to how that affects students and teachers here. Our schools deserve to be fully funded and educators should not have to work multiple jobs to make ends meet. Educators should not have their pensions and salaries treated as a political football.

Workers Rights

Kentucky is made up of hardworking people trying to care for their families. All workers deserve to have a safe working environment. Hard working Kentuckians shouldn’t have to take on multiple jobs just to get by. Businesses like to come here because of our excellent work force led and protected by unions. Union voices are needed in the spaces where decisions are being made, and I would be proud to be that voice. I would support the repeal of Right to Work legislation, the reinstatement of the prevailing wage, and any effort to strengthen collective bargaining.

Access to Healthcare

Too many times Kentuckians are denied access to healthcare either from its lack of availability or because of prohibitive costs. Our healthcare workers strive to take care of us in an environment that is difficult to navigate. Healthcare needs to be more readily available to us to keep our kids, our workforce, and our retirees healthy.

Immigration

Our diversity is our strength. We are a nation of immigrants. Everyone should feel safe in our community. District 30 is the most diverse district in Kentucky, and despite the efforts of some, diversity can never be cancelled.
