Lesly’s experience as a single mother and labor organizer has given her a deep understanding of the issues facing working families in our community — from the cost of housing, and healthcare, to making sure we have strong schools for all children. In the legislature, Lesly will fight for us and deliver real results for hard working families.

<h3>Fighting for Our Community</h3>These are some of the top issues our campaign is focused on. Learn more about our issues <a href="/issues" target="" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">here</a>.

Her father worked as a landscaper and laborer. Her mother worked numerous jobs, including as an instructional assistant in public schools, cleaning houses, babysitting, and at the public library. Nothing came easy, but a loving family and the opportunity to attend strong public schools made all the difference for Lesly.&nbsp;Her parents showed her the value of working hard, never giving up, and getting a quality education. It’s why Lesly always fights for better working conditions, opportunities, and education for our community.Today, Lesly advocates for workers so they can receive better working conditions&nbsp;and earn higher wages. She has fought for school bus drivers, custodians, instructional assistants, teachers, social workers, school psychologists, and hospital workers to be treated with the dignity and respect we all deserve in the workplace.Lesly is committed to using her experiences as a working mom of four and a labor representative to build a stronger economy that helps families get ahead.
