I have three main issues I believe should be addressed immediately:
Common sense gun safety reforms must be enacted. We must feel safe to live our lives – to go to school, to go shopping, to go to church, to go to a movie, to go to a concert;
The right of all persons to bodily autonomy must be codified. We must be able to make our own healthcare decisions, without the interference of the legislature or the courts; and
Election reforms must be enacted. We must be able to have our voice heard by having our vote count. Voting should be easily accessible to all eligible voters.
I am running for office because I want my voice to be heard. I want the voices of the people of District 92 to be heard.
I can and will do better to represent the values of the majority of people who live in middle Tennessee.
- We should feel safe from gun violence at work, in the park, at the shopping mall, and at restaurants. Churches should be sanctuary for all who enter. Parents should not have to wonder if it is safe to send their children to school. Children should not be afraid to go to school. We need sensible control NOW.
- The United Nations Working Group on the issue of discrimination against women prepared a paper stating, in part, “The right of a woman or girl to make autonomous decisions about her own body and reproductive functions is at the very core of her fundamental right to equality and privacy. . .”. It further states, “The decision as to whether to continue a pregnancy or terminate it, is fundamentally and primarily the woman’s decision . . .”. The government has no business making healthcare decisions for ANYONE. The best person to make healthcare decisions is the person whose health is at stake. Healthcare decisions should be between a woman, her doctor and her God.
- Election laws should be voter-centric — making it easier for voters to select representatives of their choice. The vote of each and every citizen of the United States should count! The access to vote, particularly in response to legislation that marginalizes certain populations. The voter registration process and the voting processes should be easily accessible to all citizens who are or should be eligible to vote. Early voting, voting-by-mail, and voting by drop box should be available to all registered voters. Partisan gerrymandering needs to stop and all partisan gerrymandering that currently exists needs to be remedied. The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act or similar legislation needs to be enacted.
Women's Rights to Bodily Autonomy
Election Reform
Health Care Reform
Michelle Obama - her candor, willingness to fight for social issues, "when they go low, we go high"
Hillary Clinton - her ability to stand up for her values and it seems like she never buckled under pressure
Jimmy Carter - his tireless work for peace, human rights, not to mention his personal integrity
Barack Obama - his compassion, sense of humor, integrity, composure, speaking ability, intelligence
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. - his commitment to Civil Rights, his ability to speak passionately which in turn motivated and empowered others, his perseverance in standing up for his beliefs
Ann Richards - her humor, wit, compassion, and willingness to help others, particularly women
Cissy Farenthold - one of the first women to attend law school at UT Austin, she fought for women's rights, and one of the people who encouraged me to go to law school at a time when most people would be planning their retirement
Gloria Steinem - what can I say - she was the face of the women's movement and our fight for equal rights.
Betty Friedan - same as Gloria - an icon of the women's movement and fight for equal rights
Illusions, The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah, by Richard Bach. This book helped me learn that we are all responsible for our journeys, for our successes and our failures. One quote to give an idea of the contents is this - "Here is a test to find out whether your mission on earth is finished: If you're alive, it isn't."
The Greatest Miracle in the World, by Og Mandino. I was given this book at a particularly dark time in my life, I was having a crisis of faith and remember thinking to myself, "If only God would write me memo". There is a chapter in this book called "The God Memorandum" and it continues to speak to me.
Agriculture & Natural Resources
Civil Justice (Children & Family Affairs Subcommittee)
Education Administration
