My Policies

This District is my home. I have lived and dreamed of ways to make it better since I was a little girl growing up on my grandma’s land, but I am not alone here. These are my policy positions. The things that I want to do for my friends and neighbors, but you are my friends and neighbors. If there are issues or concerns that you care about that I haven’t listed here, please, reach out. Nobody should have to be silent.

I support raising taxes on the wealthiest individuals and the most profitable corporations, particularly those that have benefited disproportionately from decades of tax breaks and weak enforcement. Furthermore, as someone who rented in the City of Buffalo for many years, I understand how crushing an unstable rent system can be. I intend to support tenant protections to keep New Yorkers housed and communities intact. Huge corporations working together to take advantage of people desperate for jobs or desperate for housing. This is unacceptable, and they have to be held accountable, as do the politicians who have been allowing it for decades.

I believe healthcare is a human right. Nobody should be terrified that a broken ankle will make them destitute, and nobody should be afraid that they will have $200,000 in medical bills if they get cancer, especially in Western New York. I support a universal system that prioritizes care over profit. I am not an accountant or an elected official, and so the finances that go into this may make universal healthcare simply unsustainable in New York State, especially given how artificially expensive the healthcare system is. That being said, we can do better. A robust public option is entirely attainable and something every representative should strive for.
