- Gaining long-denied COLAs for PLAN 1 retirees;
- Passage of the most progressive package of election laws in the nation, laws that ensure access to voting with security and transparency;
- Working for passage of strong environmental laws, including limits on greenhouse gases;
- Continued efforts for adequate funding for our public schools and postsecondary institutions;
