- "I refuse to allow politicians, special interest groups, or for profit insurance companies to dictate what a woman can or cannot do with her body. I reject the erosion of reproductive rights through harmful legislation and attacks on reproductive healthcare providers. I stand with women who face barriers to accessing the care they need and deserve, whether it's due to financial constraints, restrictive laws, or stigma." (www.wisconsinforben.com)
- "Today, as states across the country are attempting to gut the healthcare rights of women I stand before you as a staunch advocate for women's reproductive rights, a fundamental cornerstone of gender equality and individual autonomy. In our society, the right to make decisions about our own bodies is not just a privilege but an inherent human rightâone that must be fiercely protected and upheld." (www.wisconsinforben.com)
- "To ensure that healthcare remains affordable and accessible for all Americans, we should also believe in strengthening Medicaid and expanding access to Medicare. This includes expanding the Medicaid program to cover more low-income individuals and families, and lowering the age of eligibility for Medicare so that more Americans can access this vital healthcare benefit. A system much like the elected officials in Washington D.C. receive." (www.wisconsinforben.com)
