She intends to reach out to the community and educate them on the different aspects and responsibilities of the office. One of her main goals is to increase voter awareness and to continue to revolutionize the election process with cutting-edge solutions that protect and increase the right to vote, while always respecting the right of secrecy of the ballot and preserving the integrity of all elections.
