When I tell people that I am running for Congress to fight—and win—for the working class, many folks say they’ve “heard that before.” But unlike some career politicians, this isn’t just talk for me.
I come from a working class immigrant family. My mother worked as a night shift nurse for 25 years. I am in this to make real change. And I am not ashamed to say what I believe and what I will do if elected:
- Tax the super wealthy and lower taxes on the middle class
- Fight for Medicare for All and wipe away medical debt
- Raise the federal minimum wage to a living wage and index to inflation
It’s past time for Democrats to step up and fight for what we believe in and what people need. There is something deeply, deeply wrong when one person can extract so much wealth that they are worth more than some developed nations.
It’s time to force Musk and his ilk to pay their fair share.
