Since my first week in the General Assembly, I have stood up to defend our basic, most important freedoms – especially protecting our communities from ICE and other federal overreach that threatens our voting rights and elections.
- Women’s Privacy Rights: I believe passionately in and have fought fiercely to protect a woman’s reproductive right and freedoms.
- Voting Rights and Election Security: With a seat on Gov. Matt Meyer’s Task Force on Free, Fair, and Secure Elections and as Senate Elections Committee Chair, I work to bring about further security for our voting rights and election security.
- Campaign Finance Transparency: Delaware’s campaign finance laws must be changed to increase and clarify third party ‘outside’ spending’ requirements.
- Fighting Federal Voting Threats: I worked closely this past year on “election protection” efforts as the Trump Administration has attempted to force the Delaware Department of Education to turn over protected personal voter information.
- Gun Violence Prevention: The freedom to live in a safe community is fundamentally important to each of us. After 14 years, Delaware is now considered a national leader in gun violence prevention. Still, gun violence lurks and remains a leading cause of death in our country for children and those suffering from mental illness, especially suicide.
- Continue to protect and vigorously enforce gun violence prevention laws that have been enacted in the face of numerous lawsuits from the ‘gun lobby’. Examples of such laws include: Secure Storage, Lethal Violence Protective Orders, and Permit to Purchase Guns statutes … all of which are saving lives.
- I believe that with rights come responsibilities. Protecting the Second Amendment also means that we must have laws and policies that protect our communities and require gun owners to act responsibly.
