Issue Position: Women's Rights & Reproductive Health

Issue Position

All too often, women are paid less than men for the same work. As a state representative, I co-sponsored the 2013 Equal Pay Act that called for equal pay for women in North Carolina. The bill would have allowed women in the workforce to receive retroactive pay for up to two years and prohibited retaliation against employees seeking equal pay. These kinds of protections must be prioritized in Congress, and I will work to see them passed.

Additionally, no politician should come between medical providers and their patients. That's why I have worked for decades to protect access to abortion, as a lawyer and a legislator, and in Congress, I will prioritize fighting for access to quality health and reproductive care.
