On June 24th, 2022 an activist Supreme Court destroyed 50 years of precedent, rolling back a woman's right to choose by overturning Roe v. Wade. As a Massachusetts State Representative, I was proud to join my colleagues in passing An Act Expanding Protections For Reproductive And Gender-Affirming care, again affirming that Massachusetts WILL protect women's rights and access to reproductive healthcare. Still, there is more work to do; to address the gender pay gap; to eliminate the attacks on women’s reproductive rights that continue to grow every day, and to end the sexual and domestic violence that plague our communities every day.

• Advocate for policies that will narrow the gender pay gap – which is still 83 cents per dollar In Massachusetts and nationally even worse for women of color.

• Dismantle barriers to access to sexual and reproductive health care, support women’s right to choose when, if, how they wish to pursue parenthood.

• During my tenure at Fitchburg State, I served as a Fitchburg Anti-Violence Education (FAVE) trainer to incoming students on a Department of Justice grant to reduce sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking in our community. I will continue to advocate for victims of these crimes and work to end dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking.
