As a member of the Council’s Committee on Health, I am continually working to foster healthy communities in the District. I believe in a comprehensive approach to public health, whether that’s through healthy food access, supporting early child development, and environmental safety, or lowering the costs of care.

Everyone in the District, from newborns to seniors should have access to high-quality services and supports that create a strong foundation for health. That’s why I’ve worked to expand access to home visiting services that help new parents and children thrive, lowered health care barriers for immigrant families, and reduced prescription drug prices.

I’ve also advocated for comprehensive behavioral health services, including school-based behavioral health clinicians and substance use disorder outreach and interventions.
