Priorities
Representing you in the Virginia House of Delegates has been the honor of a lifetime. I’ve worked tirelessly to fund our schools, reign in toll costs and traffic congestion, and provide financial relief to businesses and families during the pandemic. There is more work to do, like addressing the cost of health care and child care, protecting our democracy, and ensuring kids in our community have access to a safe, quality education. When elected to the Virginia State Senate, I will never stop fighting for you and I will continue to deliver for our communities.
Since entering the General Assembly four years ago, I am proud to have:
- Protected access to health care and women's reproductive rights
- Kept our community safe by strengthening our gun laws and making it harder for criminals to obtain dangerous weapons
- Passed landmark legislation to curb toll prices, electricity bills, and the price of groceries
- Fought misinformation and defended our democracy and voting rights from extremists
- Pushed to lower prescription drug prices so that health care is more accessible for everyone
- Has served as the House Democratic Caucus' first diversity, equity, and inclusion officer
And I will continue to fight for you in the General Assembly against special interests who don’t share our values.
My priorities moving forward include:
- Continuing to push to lower the cost of healthcare so that all Virginia’s can access the care they need
- Further reducing our emissions of greenhouse gas and put the Commonwealth on a greener and more equitable path
- Ensuring that we continue to fund our schools to secure the quality of our childrens’ educations
- Protecting the right to vote and continue to improve access to the ballot
- Continuing to support Virginians through the changing impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic[2]

Some my top priorities include securing funding for Infrastructure and Transportation Improvements, Improving Schools and Education Opportunities, and making health care, including mental health and women's health, more accessible and affordable. I also want to address safety and gun violence.
I am personally passionate about restoring trust in our government so that people feel as though when they engage, their elected leaders listen to them and work to solve problems in the community. For this to happen in Virginia, we need to make voting easier, have serious campaign finance reforms, and draw fair, nonpartisan districts next year. We also need legislators who are responsive to their constituents and will prioritize solving problems for their constituents.
Elected officials must be willing to listen to their constituents, take feedback, and work hard to solve problems in the community. We think of politicians as people who like the spotlight and like to hog the microphone, but in my opinion some of the best elected leaders were people who showed empathy and only stepped into the spotlight as a means to making their community and country better.
Elected officials should be as transparent as possible and accountable and accessible to their constituents. I pledge to have regular office hours and town halls--so that people have a chance to make their voice heard at all times.
I believe experience matters. My work on Capitol Hill and in the Obama White House, as well as my advocacy in the community, has made me understand the importance of having some background or exposure to public policy before taking on a job in which you will have to advocate for tens of thousands of constituents.

Scorecards
- See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Virginia
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
