ISSUES:
- Goroff said if elected she would work to codify the rights in Roe vs. Wade before the U.S. Supreme Court overturned it and would oppose a national abortion ban.
- She said she would work to restore the full state and local tax (SALT) deduction as well as the expanded child tax credit offered during the COVID-19 pandemic. "It's never going to happen while the Republicans control the House," she said of the SALT deduction. "They have no interest in doing that; they want to use this as a cudgel against blue states."
- Goroff said she would make a priority of securing federal funding for affordable housing initiatives.
