  • Homelessness

    Supports

    Opposes criminalizing homelessness (HB 1365) and supports compassionate solutions such as more public restrooms, small community-integrated shelters, and rehabilitation programs rather than incarceration.

    “In 2024, House Bill 1365 went into effect in our state, making it illegal to sleep on sidewalks, in parks, on beaches or in other public spaces - one of the strictest anti-homelessness measures in the nation. I knew I had to do something.”

  • K-12 Education

    Supports

    Supports renewing the half-penny sales tax for school construction, historic pay increases for teachers and school staff, and investment in arts education, sports, and civics programs.

    “He fully supports renewing the half-penny sales tax to fund new schools and upgrade existing infrastructure. The state legislature must invest in historic pay increases for teachers, administrators, and paraprofessionals.”
