Issues
As a lifelong, 5th generation resident of the 5th Suffolk district, who was born and raised in a community that has been systematically under-resourced, my primary focus as a State Representative will be to address the racial and wealth disparities in our community.
As your next State Representative, I will lead with conviction alongside residents to promote equity, increase safety, and allocate appropriate funding to the areas that will advance the economic empowerment and continued vibrancy of the district that I am so lucky to call my home.
Liz believes in and will…
Build safer, healthier, and vibrant communities that are great to raise families
- Alternatives to violence: particularly for youth, advocate for preventative measures that will help create a basic sense of security in our neighborhoods.
- Mental health care and trauma support: destigmatize these issues that support restorative healing of our neighborhoods.
- Parks and community spaces: help foster a sense of community and support families through safe and beautiful outdoor spaces.
- Environmental initiatives: renewable energy, combating climate change, ensuring stewardship of our communities, advocate for environmental justice, and sustainable urban farming will protect our community and position our district to thrive in the 21st century economy. The implications of a negative environment are detrimental to the wellbeing of the community. A clean and healthy environment is also a clean and healthy ecosystem.

- Special education and ESL/ELL programs: support their continued funding and increase the scope of these state-run, locally-led services.

Champion the diverse needs of our community
