Candidate Statement
We are at a critical time in our nation’s history. Now, more than ever, we need bold, progressive leaders in Washington who are willing to hold all branches of government accountable.
We must fight to put progressive ideals like affordable housing, comprehensive immigration reform, women's rights, civil and voting rights, safe public schools, college affordability, criminal justice reform, and healthcare at the forefront of the country's policy agenda.
