Social Services Establish programs to provide legal assistance, social services, and community integration support for immigrants, regardless of their status Environment / Energy Fund training programs to prepare local residents for green jobs, such as solar panel installation and energy-efficient construction.

If we want to have a future for the next generation, then we must work towards a sustainable and healthy future that prioritizes our environment. I’m committed to fighting back against the corporate polluters who try to take advantage of our communities, and I fully believe that everyone should have access to clean air and drinkable water.

Civil Rights Create stronger protections for LGBTQ+ youth against discrimination in healthcare and public education. Education Expand career technical education programs and green jobs. Economy Due to the ballooning cost of living and stagnant wages, many families are struggling to make ends meet. Small businesses are struggling to keep their doors open and the entrepreneurial potential of our communities is being left behind with not enough support.
