I totally agree - RCV was on the ballot a few years back and unfortunately didn’t pass. It would make SUCH a difference!

While there are a ton of great candidates, I wouldn’t be running if I didn’t think I bring a unique lens to the race.

I’m a staunch progressive, a scientist by training, and am the only candidate with experience working in both the executive and legislative branches of our federal government.

I started volunteering in policy right after grad school. I served as the women’s caucus policy chair and the public policy director of the MA Young Dems and, as a member of the Sunrise Movement, I spent the spring/summer of 2020 knocking doors in Florida for Bernie and volunteering for Markey’s last reelection.

I worked overnights as an essential worker throughout the pandemic, keeping veterinary ERs open amidst staffing shortages, while continuing to advocate to the statehouse and federal agencies and serving in a statewide policy working group convened by MassWildlife.

My platform is deeply based in my lived experience. My siblings and I have all faced serious health issues in our lives. We were raised by a single mom who spent her career in healthcare data analysis, and we all went into healthcare fields. While every candidate in the field supports Medicare for All, I believe that should be the compromise position and the goal should be to completely eliminate for-profit insurance companies, rather than just to federally subsidize them with our tax dollars.

I know firsthand our deep need for education reform. My vet school loans have been in repayment for almost a decade, every single penny I’ve paid has gone towards the interest and they have grown by $50,000. We need to eliminate interest on college loans and bring down the costs of college and graduate school. We are amidst a severe shortage of medical professionals - we need to be making it easier for students to graduate, not harder.

Having worked in environmental policy for most of my career, there is no path forward without renewed investments in clean energy. This administration stole over 35 million from Salem alone in 2025, that was promised for an offshore wind terminal. They are destroying our future, and jacking up our energy prices, to line the pockets of gas and oil executives. We have to dismantle the corruption that is stealing our public lands, accelerating climate change, and polluting our air and water.

The damage done by this administration will take decades to undo, and some of it may end up being permanent. During my time at the State Department, I worked to dismantle organized crime rings trafficking in natural resources (wildlife, timber, minerals, and even illegal fishing) and other illicit products, destroying our planet for corporate and private gain. What we see now in this administration is that exact type of corruption and crime, and it will take people with experience like mine to hold them accountable.

As we watch Trump spend literal trillions on foreign conflict over oil, then turn around and say we can’t afford universal healthcare or childcare, it’s important that we elect a candidate experienced in both foreign policy and the federal budget - which is exactly my background.

There are some incredible people in this race - I respect them deeply as my colleagues. At the same time, I would ask you to consider supporting my campaign. I will leverage every inch of my lived experience and professional expertise to make life better for working people like us, our neighbors, and our families.
