Health Care

LGBTQ Rights

She authored the Charlie Morgan Act, which would make benefits available to veterans and their spouses regardless of sexual orientation.

Worker & Consumer Rights

 She said:  “Lax regulation and a culture of greed on Wall Street led to a financial meltdown that sent this country into a deep recession.
