QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
I support the passage of any state law that would codify access to contraception and abortion, protect reproductive freedom, and ensures a woman’s right to choose how and when she receives health care. Women must maintain the right to make personal health care decisions and control of their bodies.

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
First, we must proactively repeal and remove unnecessary restrictions that prohibit any law-abiding resident from exercising their right to have their voice heard, including returning citizens that have had their right to vote restored. Additionally, we must protect the avenues that allow us to exercise our right to vote by expanding early voting schedules, election day hours and ensuring that voting by mail remains an option, especially for our senior communities.
