Proud of Chairwoman for standing up against #HB1300 a blatantly unnecessary assault on voting rights that will be vetoed by @GovernorTomWolf . The Chairwoman laid out a compelling argument and she ended with ‘enough of this nonsense,lets get to work.’

It is appalling that we continue to allow students to sit in classrooms, walk hallways, and drink from water fountains that may be contaminated with lead, asbestos, and numerous other dangerous toxins.

I’m nearly 6 feet tall and was voted most radical in high school. I beat a man everyone said was unbeatable after my 25 year career in film where only 3% of directors are women. I started my own business as a single mom. I didn’t go to Harvard. I’m not a typical politician.
