Rachel, on the issues:

➔ Healthcare +

"I believe that healthcare is a human right. I will work to ensure that we all have access to healthcare and that healthcare, treatments, and medications are affordable. As a mother of a child with Type 1 diabetes, I know how important it is that ALL Virginians have access to the medications they need and access to medical health providers when they need them. ..."

➔ Education +

"As a longtime teacher and educational leader with a PhD in Educational Leadership and Policy, I have a rare combination of policy expertise *and* practical classroom experience.

I will work to remove current burdens on law enforcement agencies and shift them, with funding, to where they belong: mental health and social services...."
