Ward currently chairs the Senate Transportation Committee, overseeing legislation involving roads, bridges, public transportation, and other infrastructure. Her legislative record includes laws supporting healthcare workers, protecting victims of domestic violence, expanding access to psychology services, and assisting community health centers.
