Affordable housing

Right here in Bucks and Montgomery Counties, families are living with multiple generations under one roof. People my age, with school-aged children, live with their parents because they want their children to go to a good school district, but they cannot afford to buy a home here. 

As a young veteran, I was only able to afford a down payment with a loan from the Veterans Administration. I know that families across our district struggle with affordable housing everyday. If we do not provide pathways for young people to buy a home, settle down, and start a family in our community, our community simply will not have a future.

Labor Rights

The ability of unions to collectively bargain is an essential need to protect the rights of workers and the communities they live in. I support this federally-protected right and will fight side by side with our union brothers and sisters - both in Washington and at the picket line.

Raising the wage

It’s been over a decade since the federal minimum wage was raised. We need to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2024.

Equal Pay and Representation

As a woman who has served her country, and had the honor of holding command, I know just how important it is to ensure access to equal opportunity. Women should not only have a seat at the table in the workforce, they should be able to hold positions of power and be decision-makers. This means supporting initiatives for pay equity, universal preschool, and affordable childcare for all.

Holding Corporations and Big Banks Accountable

The pandemic has again shined a clear light on the inequities in our economy. While families were forced to make difficult decisions regarding how best to safely work and provide for their children, and while many families in Bucks and Montgomery Counties went hungry due to a loss of income, Wall Street saw record profits as their stock portfolios grew. This again demonstrates the need for increased restraints on the banking industry, including the reinstatement of the Glass Steagall Act, to not only ensure that there are more protections against future financial shocks, but also to increase oversight of these industries.

Building a Better Future for our Families

I wholeheartedly support President Biden’s Build Back Better plan, unlike our current Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick who voted against it. I support any agenda that makes Bucks and Montgomery Counties affordable for middle class families, and provides high quality jobs to the workers of our district.
