Progress is being made in restoring our roads and sidewalks around Washington Square.
I will continue to advocate for their complete restoration for the safety of both pedestrians and drivers.

Today I got to visit FSU's Interdisciplinary Social Science Program's Social Problems Course and talk about what challenges our community is facing, as so many are.

Thank you for having me!

The economic insecurity that many women face is well known to our friends and neighbors, and we have the data to support this.
