Dukes has become a chief architect in crafting agency budgets and influencing policy within health and human services due to her veteran position on the Appropriations Subcommittee on Health and Human Services. She has been especially active in the reformation of the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) and in providing the resources needed to keep children safe while preserving the integrity of the family unit. Most recently she created the Protect Our Kids Commission comprised of experts in the community to develop recommendations and identify resources necessary to reduce fatalities from child abuse and neglect.
