Ethics
Justice is not possible without a level playing field. We must remove the influence of big money and special interest. We must eliminate pay to play, to ensure that elected officials are acting in the best interest of the public. We need public funding of elections. The Republican opponent, Senator John Bonacic just doesn’t get it! He is a “Senator” who takes care of his own
​
​
Education
We need much greater funding of public education, and the state must ensure equality in education. We need specific funding for STEM programs, as well as environmental studies, music and the arts. We also need vocational training that lead to employable skills.

Energy
The greatest crisis of human history is now upon us and we need elected officials that recognize the magnitude of this crisis. We need a Marshal Plan to transition our state to 100 percent renewable energy: wind, hydro, solar and geothermal by 2030! We have the technology and the human ingenuity, all we lack is the political will; Pramilla aims to change that.

​
Employment
We need not just jobs, but high quality jobs. We need to train folks for 21st century jobs that are competitive in a global marketplace. These are green jobs and jobs in IT. We also need greater vocational training to allow workers to make a living wage while developing our local natural
resources.

Environment
Quality of life is predicated on a clean, healthy, and safe environment. Health is wealth; and health is inextricably tied to our environment. Without a healthy environment, children can't learn, parents can't work, and communities cannot prosper. In these historic times, when climate change portends extreme weather catastrophes, casualties and destruction, we need a leader who understands the magnitude of the challenges that we face; someone concerned about the public health, safety and welfare. Pramilla understands that the gas and oil industry will do all in its power to shift the liability for the consequences of extreme weather occurrences to the taxpayers and she is prepared to serve as our advocate in the New York Senate.
