I can’t wait to have thousands more of these conversations over the course of the campaign. That’s how we make sure every resident knows their voice matters and their government works for them.
We have no time to waste—we have to take on these challenges with new urgency and restore faith that our state can deliver a better future.
We heard from folks about our state’s out of control electric bills, how immigrants in our city are scared to leave home because of ICE, and why we need more programs for our youth.
Our campaign is about listening, organizing, and fighting to fund our schools, bring down costs and protect our people from Trump. We did that work this week when I joined Hill leaders to talk with residents about how state government can make life easier.

Thank you so much to the SCSU Democrats for having me on campus recently to talk about why the critical moment we're in calls for change, urgency, and new leadership. Can't wait to be back soon!

This campaign is about listening, organizing, and bringing people together to fight for a better future for our state. That’s why I’m so excited to knock on doors from now till the election in August to talk to neighbors about what our community needs.

I also shared my belief that the path to securing that critical funding should include working with our school districts on budget transparency. We need a significant increase in school funding this year and going forward so that every student can get the education they deserve.
I talked about why fully funding our schools is absolutely crucial for building a more fair and equal future where all our kids, no matter their zip code, can get an amazing public education.
The fight to fund our schools doesn't rest! Late last night, at 12:30am, I testified for more public school funding in front of the legislature's Appropriations Committee.
