Funding our public schools
All children should receive a first rate public education, and we must ensure all schools have the resources they need to succeed.
Defending & Expanding access to reproductive freedom
Protecting quality maternal healthcare, the fundamental right to abortion, and contraception, so women can make the decisions best for themselves, their families, and our futures.
Enacting common-sense gun safety laws
It is far past the time to do something about the proliferation of guns and gun violence in our communities.
ADDRESSING CLIMATE CHANGE HEAD-ON
Ensuring we leave behind a safe and inhabitable earth for future generations.
AN ECONOMY THAT WORKS FOR ALL OF US
Good paying jobs, a reduced inflation rate, and safe, affordable housing so every family can thrive.
PROTECTING OUR DEMOCRACY
Defending the strength of our democracy, safeguarding voting rights, and ensuring each vote counts.

Virginians, and Americans across the country, should be treated with fairness, justice and respect, no matter their skin color, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
