Economy I will support our small businesses and fight to bring federal workers back into the workforce. Housing In Congress, I will be one of the few legislators who can speak your language and about homelessness from a place of experience. I have walked the path from desperately seeking employment to being a job creator myself, and I will bring the lessons I learned to Capitol Hill. Economy As someone who knows this economic uncertainty firsthand, I will push to hold the Trump administration accountable when federal employees are fired illegally and leverage my Congressional office into a force multiplier for efforts to increase employment opportunities in the District of Columbia. Housing I’ll push for affordable housing, robust mental health resources, and a comprehensive support system that meets people where they are. Economy Our unemployment rate is now at 5.8%, the highest in the nation, due to layoffs, furloughs, and systemic federal firings. This trend will only continue, meaning schools, housing, mental health, and other tax-funded needs our community relies on are at risk. Housing Affordable housing is a necessity, not an optional expense. It’s the cornerstone of our security for D.C’s most vulnerable. I will demand that federal housing programs serve all residents: families, seniors, and individuals of every income. I don’t just know housing policy, I’ve actually lived the reality that too many of our residents share: homelessness. Legislation As your next Congressional Delegate to the U.S. House of Representatives, I will champion a permanent voting right for the District of Columbia, and I will build support for full autonomy, ending this injustice once and for all. Criminal Justice / Public Safety I will petition the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia for regular meetings to voice the concerns of Washingtonians and push the Department of Justice to remember that protection of and service to the people should be their top priority. And I will put forth legislation to give the District’s Attorney General the power to prosecute all crimes in D.C., giving them full authority as the Top Cop for the District of Columbia. Healthcare I will vote to repeal every bit of this bill that steals the healthcare of our most vulnerable Americans who have build, served and sweated to make America what it was before 2025. Healthcare is a right, not a political pawn. I will stand with families, clinics, doctors, and hospitals, demanding Congress protect Americans’ right to healthcare! Healthcare I support full funding for caregiver support and suicide prevention services to help reduce the alarming rate of suicide among our elderly. I will continue to advocate for continued research for diseases like Alzheimer’s and am appalled by the cuts in funding for medical research. Taking away healthcare coverage and defunding the research for a cure is a death sentence.
