Historically, women had to fight to gain the same rights as their male counterparts. Whether it was the right to vote, equal pay for equal work, or even the ability to decide what happens with their own body. The struggles to achieve equality have been hard and the fight continues.

I strongly support a woman’s right to make her own health care decisions. Moreover, organizations like Planned Parenthood should be fully funded to continue their mission to support women’s health, healthcare access, and reproductive rights.

I will work hard to guarantee all women are ensured pay equity, equal opportunity, environments free of harassment, and to codify Roe v. Wade.
