"I'm proud to have passed my bill A2698 directing DOH to create an awareness campaign regarding the usage of hormone replacement therapy for treating menopause and perimenopause. Too many people, especially Black, working-class, and immigrant women, go without the care they need simply because they don't know what's available or because providers don't take their symptoms seriously. As a maternal health nurse, I believe every stage of reproductive life deserves real support. Menopause is no exception."
"My office is here first and foremost to serve the people of the 57th District, not just during campaign season, not just when it's time to vote, but every single day. We support constituents in their day-to-day lives by providing direct services, advocacy, access to resources, and training on organizing in the community to help people navigate the systems that are supposed to work for them but too often don't."
A2698 directs the Department of Health to create an awareness campaign about hormone replacement therapy for treating menopause and perimenopause. Many people, especially Black, working-class, and immigrant women, lack care because they do not know what is available or because providers dismiss their symptoms. Menopause requires real support as a stage of reproductive life. The district office provides daily constituent services, advocacy, resource access, and community organizing training to help residents navigate public systems. Housing is the most pressing issue: rents are rising, evictions increasing, and working-class residents face displacement, necessitating tenant protections and expanded affordable housing options.
