Dear Friends,
Thank you for signing up to receive my campaign updates. I wanted to take a few moments to make sure you know where I stand on some of the issues.
HEALTHCARE IS A RIGHT
Everyone has a right to quality, affordable healthcare no matter where they live or what they do for a living. I strongly support Medicare for All because a universal healthcare system will save lives, reduce cost, and allow small businesses to thrive.
A healthy workforce will keep America strong.
While Republicans continue to chip away at the progress the Affordable Care Act made, I will actively advocate for universal healthcare and work to include mental health and addiction care in all health care plans.
DEFENDING PUBLIC EDUCATION
As a product of public schools, I believe strongly that public education is the best way to even the playing field. I will fight to make sure every student has the chance to excel and the skills to succeed in the future.
Quality public education is a pillar of our Democracy.
A quality public education starts when we are young. I will advocate for universal pre-K and for ways to fund our schools based on need and not simply student attendance.
AN ECONOMY FOR ALL
The middle class is disappearing because too many corporations are putting the needs of shareholders before the needs of their hard working employees. I want to see businesses at all levels thrive and that will happen when they have a happy and loyal workforce.
We must rebuild our economy from the bottom up.
I am in favor of raising the minimum wage to $15/hr and ensuring all employees can be represented by a union. I also support a progressive tax code to make sure that everyone is paying their fair share of taxes.
