We have more in common
than what divides us

On the Speaker's Balcony in Washington DC

💜 Thank You for Your Support! 💜

THANK YOU SO MUCH to all of the organizations, volunteers, donors, and voters who helped our campaign win big in the Democratic Primary!

Extremism is tearing America apart, and we desperately need a return to normalcy in Washington DC. As the only candidate who actually lives in Congressional District 38, I can give the people of CD38 the proper representation they deserve.

If we all just talked to each other, we would discover how much we all still have in common. Extremists don’t talk, they shout. They don’t want to listen, and they don’t want all voices to be heard.

So let’s have a discussion. Tell me where you stand on these issues, and I will do my best to represent you. Here’s what I have heard from you:

Economy

  • Save Social Security
  • Improve foreign relations

Education

  • Properly fund public education
  • Make tuition more affordable

Elections

  • Defend democracy
  • Make voting easier for everyone

Environment

  • Embrace renewable energy innovation
  • Proper flood mitigation

Equality

  • Protect marginalized communities
  • Invest in affordable housing

Gun Safety

  • Responsible gun ownership
  • Prevent more mass shootings

Healthcare

  • Give women control of their own bodies
  • Universal healthcare (Medicare for All)

Immigration

  • More effective border management
  • Address root causes of immigration

If you would like to read more about where I stand, please take a look at my Platform page.
