Expand all | Collapse all

I grew up in a union family, where the importance of workers' rights and the power of collective action were part of our daily conversations. These early experiences instilled in me a deep respect for the struggles and achievements of working families. This shaped my understanding of fairness and justice, prompting me to go to law school in order to get skills to serve working people. Twelve years ago, I was admitted to the bar right here in this district and started my work as an attorney representing workers with the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA. Throughout my career, I've been a staunch advocate for workers, community services/small businesses, and fair economic policies. I'm committed to sensible gun safety laws and believe in people-powered legislation to make our communities safer and more equitable.
  • We can build a vibrant and inclusive economy that works for everyone. A strong, equitable economy is built on the backbone of good union jobs, thriving small businesses, and fair labor practices. My vision for economic prosperity combines innovative strategies with a deep commitment to social and economic equity.

    My Key Initiatives for Strengthening Jobs and the Economy:

    -Holding Wall Street and Hedge Funds Accountable -Speculation Tax on Wall Street Transactions -Fully funding federal oversight -Prohibit Hedge Funds from Purchasing Single Family Homes

    Supporting Small Businesses

    Passing the PRO Act and the Public Service Freedom to Negotiate Act
  • Our country is built on the core idea that every voice is heard, and every vote counts. Every generation has worked to bring us closer to perfecting that in reality. Inspired by generations before me, I am deeply committed to reshaping our democracy into one that is more inclusive, transparent, and fair. My Key Pillars of Democracy Reform: -Ensuring Voting Rights for All -Combating Voter Suppression -Campaign Finance Reform -Ethics and Accountability in Government -Fair Redistricting Practices
  • Quality healthcare is a human right that should be open to everyone. No one should go into debt in order to get the care that they need. I will fight to rein in the rising costs of prescription drugs, to support healthcare workers, to eliminate health disparities, and to make sure our system works for everyone. My Key Initiatives for expanding access to quality healthcare: -Defending the Right to Choice and Access to Contraception -Providing universal healthcare while protecting access to supplemental plans -Lowering prescription drug costs -Supporting Healthcare Workers -Destigmatizing Mental Healthcare -Inclusive Healthcare for Children with Diverse Needs
Labor, Transportation, Human Rights, Social Security and Medicare, the Environment, Healthcare
