Top Issues

Immigration I will fight to abolish ICE and work to replace it with a system that focuses on genuine security threats rather than terrorizing families and essential workers. Education By investing in our teachers, modernizing our school infrastructure, and making vocational training and higher education more affordable, we can ensure that every student—regardless of their zip code—has a fair shot at the American Dream. Healthcare I support a system that guarantees comprehensive coverage for every American, eliminates the predatory practices of insurance companies, and lowers the skyrocketing cost of prescription drugs. Housing I will fight for federal investments that increase our housing supply and provide robust tax credits for first-time homebuyers and renters alike. Taxes / Budget By closing corporate loopholes and ensuring that the top 1% pay their fair share, we can provide meaningful tax relief to working families and fund the essential services, like our infrastructure needs and public school education, that our community relies on. Abortion / Contraception I will fight to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act to codify the protections of Roe v. Wade and ensure that medical decisions remain where they belong—between a patient and their doctor. Government Reform In Congress, I will fight to overturn Citizens United, end the era of "dark money," and champion ethics reforms that stop the revolving door between government and corporate boardrooms. It is time we restore trust in our institutions by ensuring that every American's voice carries more weight than a corporate checkbook. Infrastructure / Transportation By investing in the infrastructure needed for high-tech growth and implementing strong federal data privacy laws, we can harness the power of artificial intelligence to drive medical and economic breakthroughs while keeping our personal information secure. Guns I will fight for common-sense reforms that the vast majority of Americans agree on, including universal background checks, a ban on military-style assault weapons, and "red flag" laws to keep firearms out of the hands of those who pose a danger to themselves or others. Wages / Job Benefits I am committed to achieving true equity by closing the gender pay gap, expanding access to affordable childcare, and ending the maternal mortality crisis that continues to disproportionately affect women of color. Healthcare I will fight to ensure that no family is ever forced to choose between their physical health and their financial survival. Healthcare I am a staunch advocate for Universal Healthcare. Education In Washington, I will fight to expand federal support for early childhood education and universal pre-K. Environment / Energy By strengthening the EPA and holding corporate polluters accountable, I will ensure we combat the climate crisis and leave our children a future with clean air and sustainable energy. Taxes / Budget I will fight to repeal the 10,000 SALT deduction cap, which has unfairly penalized New Jersey homeowners for far too long.
