Do you support trucking tolls for tractor trailers on Rhode Island highways? Yes, we need to generate resources to maintain the state infrastructure
Would you support a state-mandated health
insurance program? Yes, everyone deserved to have access to health care
Are you in favor of expanding protections against
sexual harassment to include domestic workers (such as nannies) and volunteers
(such as interns)? Yes, absolutely. Everyone deserved respect and to be abuse on any shape of form by another person
If given the opportunity, would you codify the right
to have an abortion in state law?
I believe everyone has the right to decide with their body, but I’m christian and don’t believe in abortion.
Is the state doing enough to help people who have
been left behind by the economy? If not, what additional steps should be taken? It is not. Low income and disadvantage non educated people have less access to resources to elevate themselves. The state need to make more investment on education, housing and job opportunity
Does primary education need to be improved
statewide? If so, how? Yes, it does need to be improving. The education starts with the babies. If the government offered access to quality child care education from infant to 12 grade we will have prepare work force which will benefit the entire state.
Do you support RI’s designation as a sanctuary
state? Why or why not? Yes I do believe RI could be a designator sanctuary state. All people should be treating equal regardless of immigration status. The families need to have a safe place where those individuals will be able to stabilized and get documented.
