She started her journey in education teaching sex-ed in Providence schools as an undergraduate. Tiara previously worked in Providence as a Recruiter to ensure students have teachers that represent their backgrounds, experiences, and future selves.

  • Rhode Island needs progressive policies to protect BIPOC, queer, and low-income people and to make their lives safer, healthier, and happier.
  • When I was younger, I never thought someone like me, a Black queer woman, could have a seat at the table. Now I believe we can bring the table home to us.
  • Understanding intersectional identities is essential to understanding the impacts of policy. We can only live happy and healthy lives when all of us live happy and healthy lives.

Reproductive justice: equitable access to reproductive health care is key to our communities health and wellness.

Education: as a former educator, providing comprehensive and equitable education to all students is incredibly important to me.

Queer liberation: Rhode Island needs a lot of work in this area, and as a Black queer woman, this issue affects me personally.

Racial justice: this country is built on a white patriarchal system, and we must right that wrong.

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Rhode Island

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
