Issue Position: Women in Government

Issue Position

Women make up more than half of our population, yet only 20% of Congress is comprised of women. If we want a government more representative of the public's values and perspectives, we need more women weighing in on all policy decisions. It's inexcusable that in 2018 we are so far from gender parity and the only way to ensure women have a voice on the floor is to elect them and give them a seat at the table. Women's issues extend far beyond reproductive rights. We need to be working towards equal pay for women, ensuring access to affordable childcare and make sure women aren't being hit with unfair taxes on feminine products. It's time to level the playing field and claim our voice in government and I'm ready to lead that charge in Congress.
