Our Leadership Platform
Aging with Dignity & Independent Living
Our seniors have spent their lives building our families and our community. They deserve the opportunity to grow older with dignity, independence, and proper support. I will advocate for expanded home and community-based services that allow seniors to remain safely in their homes whenever possible. I will also work to strengthen support for family caregivers, improve access to respite care, and address home safety and accessibility needs.
Virgin Islands Aging With Dignity Act
One of my legislative priorities will be the Virgin Islands Aging with Dignity Act. The goal is to create a coordinated approach to helping eligible seniors remain safely at home rather than entering institutional care unnecessarily.
The proposal would address home-based services, caregiver support, respite care, home safety modifications, transportation, care coordination, and other services that promote independence.
Those who are financially able to contribute toward their care would participate through an appropriate cost-sharing structure, while inability to pay should not automatically prevent an eligible senior from receiving needed assistance.
Healthcare Access
Where you live should not determine whether you can receive quality healthcare.
I will advocate for better access to healthcare services, improved coordination of care, stronger patient navigation, and policies that address the challenges Virgin Islanders face when seeking treatment both on- and off-island.
I will also continue exploring opportunities to increase federal participation and resources available to the Virgin Islands, including Medicaid and other healthcare funding opportunities.
Healthcare must be accessible, affordable, and responsive to the needs of our people.
