I believe the measure of a nation is how it treats its most vulnerable.

I shudder to think about how future generations will judge us on the poor treatment of our most vulnerable people.

We can do better.

I will fight to expand maternity care, increase crisis pregnancy centers and invest in our children’s future by increasing the federal  child tax credit.

I will also work to pass legislation that increases access to adoption, ensures children growing up in low-income communities have access to healthy foods and that our elderly can grow old and retire with the dignity and respect they deserve.
