Together we can move our community forward.
My job is to write and support bills to reverse the wrongs put in place by state republicans. I am unafraid to be the voice to speak against Matt Simpson’s votes to ban public colleges and state agencies from maintaining DEI offices and programs, and to prohibit the promotion of "divisive concepts" regarding race, sex, or religion in state-funded settings.
Where I stand on the important
POLICIES + ISSUES
Affordability
Quality healthcare must be affordable and accessible for every Alabamian, regardless of their income. No more bankruptcies due to medical debt. I will advocate for a "one-stop shop" for health coverage that simplifies the system and holds insurance companies accountable for patient access. By expanding access to telehealth, increasing the number of medical residency slots to address doctor shortages, and protecting against "junk" insurance plans, we can drive down out-of-pocket expenses. I will work to adopt Medicaid expansion in Alabama under the Affordable Care Act. Not doing so has left roughly 101,000 to over 200,000 Alabamians in a coverage gap. This will help in keeping rural hospitals solvent and providing health care to rural areas. My goal is a healthcare system in Alabama that prioritizes patient satisfaction and quality care over corporate profits, ensuring that no Alabamian has to choose between their health or food or their rent.
Civil Rights
A strong democracy depends on protecting the fundamental rights of every American. I believe that medical decisions—especially regarding reproductive care, IVF, abortion, and contraception—belong to women and their doctors, not the government. Real leadership means codifying these protections into federal law to ensure no one’s ZIP code determines their level of freedom. I am equally committed to safeguarding the right to vote by passing common-sense legislation that makes the ballot box accessible and secure for all eligible citizens. Furthermore, we need an Equality Act in Alabama to ensure our LGBTQ+ neighbors can live, work, and raise families without fear of discrimination. Saying "We hold these truths to be self-evident" shouldn’t be a partisan issue; it’s about guaranteeing all American’s rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Medical Care
The American Dream is more than just getting by, its getting ahead. Today, too many Alabama families are squeezed by the rising costs of groceries, fuel, and home utilities. I will support and legislate on increasing supply and cutting red tape to lower these "core costs." I am committed to an "all-of-the-above" energy strategy that lowers prices at the pump through bio-fuels and domestic production while modernizing our electric grid, which includes low environmental impact solar and wind energy to reduce monthly utility bills. To lower food costs, I will pass legislation to crack down on anti-competitive corporate practices, price gauging, and support our small-scale farmers. By rolling back harmful tariffs and promoting real market competition, we can put more money back in the pockets of hardworking families. I believe in fiscally responsible policies that deliver relief today while building a stable, affordable economy for the future.
Education
Here is the truth: Autism Spectrum Disorder" (ASD) is a lifelong neuro-developmental difference, not a mental illness.
Just as society once wrongly "treated" left-handedness as a defect to be cured, our GOP legislators threaten to drag us backward. Our children experiencing Autism Spectrum Disorder aren’t "broken" or "sick"—their brains are simply wired differently. By forcing autism services under a "Mental Health" label, we risk stigmatizing an entire generation of thriving Alabamians with labels that could haunt their medical records and legal rights forever.
As one of many parents of thriving autistic children and adults, I’ve seen the progress we’ve made. Please support my campaign to get Matt Simpson out of office – elect someone who will report to you, the voter, and not the MAGA cult leader.
The Environment
I am a fierce advocate for our land and our future. While Stockton sits just outside of District 96, the proposed massive solar facility there poses a direct threat to the ecological health of our community. The project risks devastating the local wetlands through clear-cutting and habitat destruction, potentially wiping out critical homes for the Gopher Tortoise and our national symbol, the Bald Eagle.
Beyond biodiversity loss, we face increased erosion and the hazardous runoff of fecal matter from planned sheep 'farming' operations that will impact the Tensaw River and downstream the Mobile Bay. Solar energy, though a needed energy source needs to be sited responsibly on flat, former agricultural land—not at the expense of our precious, fragile, irreplaceable ecosystems.
Childhood Development
Alabama said vouchers would help low‑income families. But the first year of data tells a different story.
• 70% of voucher money didn’t move a child from public to private
• 45% were already in private school
• 25% were already homeschooling
• Only 28% went to families in poverty
They just shifted public dollars into private systems.
Tax dollars going to indoctrinate kids in a particular flavor of Christianity as most of the private schools are religious and of course Christian. I am not in favor of tax dollars being used for religious education.
