“I believe that healthcare is a right, and it is our duty to continually expand access to that right and remove barriers to care. No one should have to decide between their next meal and medication, but as families face rising costs that’s just what some are doing just to get by.”
(Illinois House Democrats — Official Legislative Release) “I am excited to once again serve alongside my brilliant colleagues in the House, and even more so to start working on the solutions that address many issues facing our hardworking communities today. People are hurting, facing tough times and uncertainty from a variety of forces, and it is our responsibility to ease that hurt and uplift those who need it the most.”
(Illinois House Democrats — Official Legislative Release) “When I was growing up, I was told that college was the ticket into the middle class and the American Dream. Unfortunately, inflation, globalization and other forces that no one person can control have steadily eroded that American promise of opportunity for years. I will always continue to listen to and support our residents by fighting for impactful policy that addresses our state’s needs with candor, compassion and community in mind.”
