Issue Position: Standing Up For Women And Families

Issue Position

Kyrsten has always been a passionate advocate for women and families. Her first job was helping survivors of domestic violence, and she's taken that dedication into public service. In Arizona, Kyrsten passed laws to increase penalties on sex traffickers and empower law enforcement to crack down on predators. Kyrsten stood up for kids by working with her colleagues across the aisle to expand the critically important AMBER Alert system to tribal lands in Arizona and across the U.S. She also successfully led a bipartisan effort to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act.
Kyrsten believes a woman, her family, and her doctor should decide what's best for her health -- not Washington politicians. She stands up for women's health clinics like Planned Parenthood and opposes efforts to let employers deny workers coverage for basic health care like birth control.
Kyrsten believes women deserve equal pay for equal work, and she's determined to help close the gender pay gap.
