Remedy persistent racial disparities in sentencing and incarceration rates.
Defend choice and human rights. Protect bodily autonomy and lgbtq rights.
Governor's Council approves or rejects potential state judges. As an attorney and former special education teacher who's worked with court-involved youth, I know that judges matter.
I'm asking for your vote in November so that I can continue advocating for:
-
mental health and substance abuse experts in our justice system,
-
diversion programs for youth,
-
addressing racial sentencing disparities,
-
local representation on Parole Board and in our courts,
-
protecting women's and LGBTQ rights
