Working Families
We need to do more for working families in Fairfax County, and I will be a champion for labor in Virginia’s General Assembly. We have an opportunity to end so-called ‘right-to-work’ in Virginia, end wage theft, pass a $15 minimum wage, secure project labor agreements to protect our workers, and make sure that all working people in the Commonwealth have the right to collectively bargain. I'm proud to be endorsed by The Keystone Mountain Lakes Regional Council of Carpenters, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 26, the Mid-Atlantic Pipe Trades Association, The Amalgamated Transit Union Local 689, and the AFSCME District Council 20.
Gun Violence Prevention
Every day 100 Americans are killed with guns and hundreds more shot and injured. On average 52 American women are shot to death by an intimate partner each month. We have to work together on common sense gun solutions that will keep our children and communities safer. As your Delegate, I will support universal background checks and efforts to close the gun show loophole. I'm proud my campaign has been awarded the 2019 Moms Demand Action Gun Sense Candidate distinction, reflecting my commitment to addressing the epidemic of gun violence in Virginia.
Immigrant Rights
As a proud immigrant, I will champion immigrant rights in Richmond. I have deep, substantive experience working on immigration issues as a former Staffer for the Immigration Subcommittee in the House of Representatives. In Virginia, we must create a path for all residents to obtain driver's licenses regardless of their immigration status. We must also ensure that our public schools receive full funding and that immigrant children in our public schools get the services they need. I'm proud to be endorsed by CASA In Action, the Mid-Atlantic region's largest immigration rights organization.
