Key Issues
Open-minded Leadership for a Better Tomorrow
Reproductive Freedom
Reproductive freedom is a human right. Pregnancy can hold unforeseeable dangers for the fetus and for pregnant people. We must improve healthcare access and options for women and minorities as opposed to taking their rights to healthcare away as we are seeing in recent times.
We must broaden access to low-cost healthcare and prescription drugs. For too long, the inability to receive quality healthcare due to income and background has harmed the members of this community, and women and minorities have been disproportionately affected by it.
Our daughters’ lives matter. Let’s allow trained medical professionals to serve everyone to the best of their abilities.
Every person needs to have a voice in what happens to their body.
Barriers to Opportunity
As an educator, Tia knows that education investments empower communities to build skills for modernizing economy and maximizing human potential. This includes career and college readiness.
There are too many barriers for children and adults to reach their full potential. Louisiana needs to re-evaluate how we address these barriers of educational attainment, poverty, and overincarceration.
These barriers not only impact individual families but have a negative impact on our entire state because of the negative impact college enrollment, limited earning power, and homelessness.
We need address Louisiana's poverty instead of criminalizing it.
Tia is passionate about finding ways to alleviate the generational poverty in Louisiana, stopping the school to prison pipeline, and identifying solutions to our shortfalls in education.
Louisiana leaders MUST start addressing disaster mitigation
For far too long, families have been left behind in the aftermath of disaster. We need better, more proactive protocols when we face the storms we know are coming.
Here is what we LACK:
Effective evacuation for poor, disabled, and elderly.
Affordable insurance options.
Coastal protections that will decrease destruction.
“Storms will keep coming, but we can ensure the safety of our neighbors with a team to plan how adjust FEMA response, state preparedness, and accountability measures for insurance companies.” - Tia
