School districts spend a significant share of their budgets on health insurance β and those costs rise year after year.
Thatβs money not going into classrooms, not supporting students, and not strengthening our communities. As these costs grow, school districts are forced into impossible choices: lay off teachers, cut programs, or raise property taxes. For our small rural district schools, health insurance increases can even lead to school mergers or school district dissolutions with rippling effects on our small towns.
The New York Health Act would free up millions in every district β allowing schools to retain teachers, expand programming, and provide real tax relief.
Rural representation in Albany matters. Thatβs one of the reasons why Iβm running for Assembly District 121.
Living in a small, rural hamlet in Delaware County, Iβm fortunate to have available a post office, hardware store, volunteer fire department, food pantry, and historical railroad depot museum set amongst the farm fields and rolling hills. These amenities donβt exist by accident, though. They take dedication, perseverance, and support from their community members and representatives.
The voices of the residents in our small hamlets and towns deserve to be heard in our state capital and federal halls, and I will not let our voices be lost. Letβs speak up together this November and send a blue wave through New York.
Our predecessors worked tirelessly to ensure our right to vote – a fight that continues today. Don't waste it; take every opportunity to let your voice be heard at the ballot box.On this day in 1919, Congress approved the womanβs suffrage amendment and sent it to the states for ratification. Adding the amendment to the Constitution required ratification by three-fourths of the states, which at that time was 36 of 48.
The National Womanβs Party led by Alice Paul began sewing stars on a giant purple, white, and gold flag. Each time a state ratified the 19th Amendment, a new star would be sewn on the flag.
The 19th Amendment became law more than a year after Congress approved the amendment. The 36th state, Tennessee, voted to ratify on August 18, 1920. This image shows Alice Paul unfurling that flag from the suffrage headquarters on that day.

I had an incredible time at the Delaware County NY Democratsβ Fundraiser Dinner on May 30th. Speaking with voters is my favorite thing to do, followed closely by events such as these that celebrate rural Democratsβ successes and powerful candidates. I spoke with local, state, and national supporters, including DNC Chair Ken Martin.
Thank you to the Delaware County committee for their steadfast and tireless organizing in support of candidates like me. Letβs celebrate with a blue wave this November!

Cities and towns are getting crushed by healthcare costs β and those costs are going to continue to go up every year.
The New York Health Act lifts that burden.

Counties would save millions every year.
Less spent on healthcare = more room in local budgets.
So ask yourself:
What could your county do with that money?
Lower property taxes?
Build more parks?
Upgrade infrastructure?
