I’m running because I’m sick of watching families in our community work harder every year and still feel like they’re falling behind — like the rules are written for someone else. That’s not sustainable. Not for working parents. Not for seniors. Not for anyone just trying to stay afloat.

​

Washington isn’t working for us. Too often, it feels like it’s working around us — or for whoever can afford a lobbyist. That has to change.

​

Here’s where I stand:

​

Healthcare Without Bankruptcy

No one should avoid the doctor because they’re worried about the bill that follows. I support universal healthcare that includes mental health, dental, vision, and reproductive care. People should be able to handle problems early — not wait until they’re worse and more expensive.

​

Childcare & Paid Leave

Families are doing brutal math every month. For some parents, childcare costs more than housing. That’s upside down. We need affordable childcare and paid leave that gives families breathing room.

​

Work That Pays

If you work full time, you should be able to build a stable life. I support raising the federal minimum wage and protecting the right to organize. Work should cover the basics — and then some.

​

Strong Public Schools

Every child deserves a solid education. Congress must fully fund special education and back up teachers so they can stay in the classroom and focus on students.

​

Housing Families Can Afford

Working families shouldn’t be bidding against hedge funds for starter homes. We need more housing supply and serious investment in affordability — with rules that protect regular buyers.

​

Lower Energy Bills

Energy policy should lower your monthly bill, not make it unpredictable. Clean energy and grid upgrades can create jobs and protect ratepayers — but they must be done responsibly.

​

Safer Communities

Our first responders show up every day. They deserve federal support that actually helps on the ground. I support responsible gun laws, including safe storage requirements and steps to keep firearms out of dangerous hands.

​

Clean Air & Water

The air we breathe and the water we drink should not harm our health. Microplastics are showing up in our rivers — and in our bodies. That’s a warning sign. I support stronger enforcement against polluters, modernizing environmental standards, and making sure corporations aren’t cutting corners at the public’s expense.

​

Keep Our Promise to Veterans

Veterans did their part. We need to do ours. That means modernizing the VA, cutting delays, and making care easier to access — not harder — like allowing access to medical marijuana and CBD, too. 

​

Modern National Defense

Our military must remain ready and disciplined. Congress should fix outdated procurement systems and make sure defense dollars are spent wisely.

​

Government That Works

Government should serve people. Period. End subsidies that don’t create real jobs. Ban insider stock trading in Congress. Push for term limits through a constitutional amendment. Reduce dark money. Rebuild trust.
