Woman's issues
Women face a huge wage gap when compared to their male counterparts. We also face a glass ceiling that is hard to break through in the workplace.
One in four women face sexual harassment in the workplace.
Many young women in our schools have to miss school regularly because they cannot afford period products. I support finding a way to make period products available so that it doesn't hamper a young woman's education.
Many of our young women are entering their sexuality without any idea of how to care for their reproductive health.
I support expanding access to birth control and additional education on how to access and use it. No woman should ever have to face the heart wrenching decision of abortion. We can nearly wipe out the need for abortion from unplanned pregnancy by tackling the root cause of the problem.
Women are underrepresented in government even though we outnumber the men.
Men may not be as sensitive to a woman's issues because they do not face them on a personal level. We need more gender parity in our government to give a voice to issues that are important to women.
