Medicare Expansion won't just contribute millions of dollars to our state's economy and help ensure that hundreds of thousands of residents have health care coverage, but it will save nearly 1,000 lives a year. As your next representative in Raleigh, I will work to pass comprehensive Medicaid expansion so no one will have to go without healthcare.

In today's ever-changing world, accessible mental health care is more necessary than ever. Our youth are exposed to traumas that the average parent may not even recognize. I will focus on expanding access to mental health programs, especially for North Carolina's youth.

Our State needs to ensure that we provide basic workplace protections and health issues such as paid family leave, sick days, and vacation times to ensure a successful, happy and productive workforce.
