What I stand for
These are the principles that shape every policy I support and every decision I'll make in Congress.
-
For too long, working people have been asked to do more while corporations took more. We believe one job should be enough to raise a family, own a home, and retire with dignity. That's why we'll fight for fair wages, a 21st Century GI Bill for homeownership and strengthen Social Security for every generation.
-
Freedom means having real choices. A woman's right to choose means nothing without affordable healthcare, paid family leave, childcare, and a living wage. We believe freedom means giving every family the opportunity and security to build a good life.
-
Government should answer to voters - not corporate PACs, billionaires, or foreign lobbies. We'll get big money out of politics, ban congressional stock trading, and make public service about serving the public again.
-
Our communities are not for sale to highest bidder. We believe data centers and other large developments should only move forward when they protect our water, strengthen our electric grid, create real local jobs, and earn the trust of the people who have to live with them.
-
Every person deserves to live with dignity, safety, and equal justice under the law. Every family deserves clean air, clean water, safe communities, and the freedom to live their lives without fear or discrimination.
-
America should put Americans first by rebuilding our communities instead of fighting endless wars. We believe in diplomacy over conflict, restoring Congress's constitutional role over war, and defending human rights consistently - including speaking out against the genocide in Gaza and working toward a just and lasting peace for both Israelis and Palestinians.
-
Most Americans want the same basic things: good jobs, safe neighborhoods, affordable healthcare, and a better future for their kids. We won't let culture wars distract us from the real work of lowering costs, raising wages, and solving problems together.
