The biggest challenges facing Senate District 7 include protecting and investing in our public schools; getting the government from getting between you and your doctors by giving women a right to choose; and expanding our health care system so that folks receive the life-saving care they need.

We need our state to increase funding for our public schools so that we can pay teachers a livable wage that doesn’t require them to pay out-of-pocket for class supplies. We also need to invest in school counseling and special education support, as well as early childhood education.
