An Eclipse signifies time for reflection and marks the beginning of meaningful change. This is how the E.C.L.I.P.S.E. will guide us in every decision we will make at the Capitol.
Equitable Access To-
We have plenty of equal access to opportunities, but lasting barriers prevent folks using them. Providing equitable access to opportunities is our best shot at addressing this
Centering Community
Not just getting feedback, or “uplifting” marginalized voices, but actually including community in the solution creating process
Labor Empowerment
Being pro-business can mean different things to different people. Being pro-business to me means higher wages, worker protections, and worker-centered economies.
Integrity in Politics
We’ve all seen politicians sacrifice their constituents and values to “work across the aisle”. It’s important if you have to get things done, but not at the expense of your values. Everyone has their line drawn in the sand, mine is cut in stone.
Public Transit
We all deserve to live in a society that’s safely walkable and has multiple ways for folks to get around without relying on a car. It saves people money and lowers congestion.
Sustainability
No, we shouldn’t throw solar panels on everything and get EVs. It’s important that we use energy more efficiently and responsibly, and create safety nets for folks caught at the wrong end of the energy transition.
Environmental Justice
We live just north of the most polluted zip code in the US. Our elders get cancer, and our kids get pollution asthma. It’s time we fight back so we can drink clean water and breathe clean air.
