I am a woman, an advocate for survivors of domestic violence, and a defender of reproductive rights. Women should not have to argue for autonomy over our bodies. Every woman should be able to make personal decisions about the full range of reproductive health care options. In 2020, I supported the ROE Act, which removed unnecessary barriers to reproductive healthcare. I plan to continue to bring about a brighter, safer, and more equal Massachusetts for all women.
