I am fully inclusive, recognizing the sacred worth of all people, including those of every race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and gender identity.  I recognize that many members of our society are marginalized, and I strive to take good care of everyone.

I embrace and celebrate the diversity of humanity and continually seek out diverse perspectives. I recognize the disparities in health care and outcomes for minority and marginalized groups and seek to be part of the solution to eliminating these through listening, understanding, dialogue, and education.

Love is the most important force in the world. It’s not too hard to extend kindness, respect, and common decency to those around us. I want all people to feel safe, valued, and respected in my presence, and in that way, I want to build a better future for our world.
