Foreign Policy I will fight for justice and equal rights for Palestinians, including support for the Palestinian Right of Return under international law. Defense / Veterans Protecting and strengthening the VA. I will fight every attempt to privatize, defund, or hollow out the Department of Veterans Affairs, and push to expand its capacity so that every veteran can access high-quality care close to home, without long wait times, mountains of paperwork, or being pushed toward for-profit alternatives that put profit before patients. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Dismantling DHS. DHS was formed after 9/11 and since then, has carried out mass surveillance on the American people, militarized law enforcement, and trampled on our rights. For some reason, crucial agencies like FEMA live under the same parent agency as ICE. Economy I will fight to pass the PRO Act to make it easier to organize, harder for employers to union-bust, and ensure that workers can actually bargain for the wages and conditions they deserve. Defense / Veterans Ending veteran homelessness. It is a moral failure that any veteran in this country is sleeping on the street. I will fight to fully fund HUD-VASH housing vouchers, expand transitional and permanent supportive housing programs, and treat veteran homelessness as the emergency it is until it is eliminated. Immigration I will fight to protect DACA recipients, mixed-status families, and other immigrants from deportation as we advocate for a long-term fix to our broken immigration system. Environment / Energy We need to both mitigate climate change and protect our communities from extreme weather events by investing in strong resilience policy. An all-of-government, Green New Deal approach to tackling this generation-defining issue is what we need. Infrastructure / Transportation Protecting and expanding the right to vote. I will fight to restore and strengthen the Voting Rights Act, pass automatic voter registration, expand early voting and vote by mail, end partisan gerrymandering, and make Election Day a federal holiday. Environment / Energy As your Congressman, I will fight for: A rapid transition to clean energy. To mitigate climate change, we must decarbonize our economy as fast as possible. Environment / Energy A Green New Deal for climate resiliency. As a climate disaster first responder, I commit to being a leader in Congress on this issue. Education As your Congressman, I will fight for: Rebuilding the Department of Education. Trump’s illegal actions to dismantle the Department of Education is hurting students across the country. Housing I will push to invest in home and community-based care so seniors can age in place with dignity and ensure that elder care workers are paid living wages. Defense / Veterans I will fight to dramatically expand VA mental health services, eliminate wait times for mental health appointments, and increase funding for suicide prevention programs. Healthcare We need universal, single-payer healthcare with no out-of-pocket costs. Crucially, Medicare for All would also expand coverage to include hearing, dental, and vision insurance. Healthcare As your Congressman, I will fight for: Medicare for All. Government Reform I will fight to establish an enforceable ethics code for Supreme Court justices, impose term limits, and expand the Court to restore its independence and legitimacy. Education I will fight his illegal actions, and when Democrats retake full control of the federal government, I will fight to build a DOE that is stronger and more effective than it was before. Government Reform Banning stock trading by government officials. Members of Congress should be working for their constituents, not managing their portfolios. I will fight to pass a total ban on stock trading by members of Congress, their spouses, and senior executive branch officials. Foreign Policy As your Congressman, I will fight for: An end to war.
