Priority Issues:

The most pressing issues we face in District 13 are housing, employment opportunity, education, and healthcare.

Politics in Albany and Washington favor the wealthy and connected and our politicians are captive to that system.

The Supreme Court has twice affirmed the Affordable Care Act, but Republicans continue to call for its repeal and offer no plans for a replacement. I oppose them completely.

Tax reform is coming and we can't let the Republicans shape it. I support expansion and reforms of the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). President Obama signed legislation making tax cuts for the rich permanent but marriage penalties in the EITC expire in 2017. I ask why and will fight for them to be made permanent.

Do you know that homeowners can deduct up to $100,000 in mortgage payments from their taxes each year? Renters deserve relief. I want to create a tax credit for renters who struggle to meet monthly housing costs. That's money in your pocket.

Finally, the time has come for statehood for Puerto Rico for which I advocate unequivocally.
