Get StartedThe right of a woman to make autonomous decisions about her own body/reproductive functions is at the core of her basic human rights to equality, medical privacy, & bodily integrity. I will push for legislation that protects access nationally to abortion with FDA-approved medication/procedures & defend access to emergency medical care & everyday reproductive care. Affordable contraception to anyone who wants and needs it. Safeguard the privacy of patients/providers & ensure they have accurate information and legal resources necessary. For those choosing to grow their family, ensure they have adequate access to resources and for pay for quality of life. Learn more
Yes, the US Economy has grown and added millions of jobs with core inflation moving down towards pre-pandemic metrics; and that’s great news. BUT this is not enough! If every member of Congress spent just 2 months trying to live on minimum wage, it would not take 12 years to get a minimum wage increase. When I’m in Congress, I will focus on restoring economic security for the middle class-and those working their way up to middle class–by passing legislation that rewards hard work with fair wages, expands apprenticeships and job training, and builds on manufacturing growth. I will taken on hidden junk-fees that companies use to rip of consumers and hold corporations accountable for price gouging (especially at our most vulnerable times). Learn more
We only have one Earth, and with an ever increasing demand for energy we must do all we can to protect and preserve what natural resources we have. We must pursue relentless research and development to find ways to produce cleaner energy and try to reverse the damage to our planet from climate change. I recognize the incredible need to fund the research needed to help make our energy generation more efficient and our environments healthier and safe. I will fight for corporate accountability measures aimed to reduce pollution across the globe and in our backyards. I will prioritize legislation that makes significant investments in the technology and workforce development needed to combat climate change. Learn more
Our values at the national level are inconsistent. On one hand, we support Ukraine’s sovereignty and independence against Russia; but on the other hand, we enable the death and destruction of Palestinian people and the constant encroachment of their land. We’re losing the respect of the global community because of this hypocrisy. We can’t pick and choose when and if to impart our values. My solution is to implement policy and foreign relations that value ALL human life—applied equally. I understand that because of historical trauma, there is a need for safety of Jewish people, but it shouldn’t be at the expense and security of the Palestinians. An immediate ceasefire and a return to a commitment for a 2-state solution is a must. Learn more
Equitable, quality healthcare SHOULD BE a fundamental right for all people; not a privilege for the wealthy few. Millions of Americans are one bad diagnosis away from going broke. It’s time for a system that is focused on patients, not profits. In Congress, I will be committed to finding constructive ways to improve our nation’s health care system, expand access to quality and affordable health care, and reduce costs for middle-class families no matter their income, race, gender, zip code, or medical diagnosis. I will make it a priority to end abusive pricing practices by the pharmaceutical industry and give patients a break at the pharmacy counter. I will support increases for health and science research to invest in tomorrow’s cures. Learn more
Affordable housing is a right and a necessity and is significant in building the foundation for a better Indiana. Housing costs are significant factor contributing to homelessness, financial instability, housing insecurity, and extreme stress for many individuals and families. Everyone should have a safe, affordable place to sleep and raise their families. When I’m in Congress, I will focus on ways to ensure housing remains accessible and affordable for middle class families. Learn more
We must stop using immigration as a scapegoat for America’s problems—this fear mongering is subjecting immigrants to exploitation, trafficking, neglect, and cruelty. When I’m in office, I will focus on comprehensive immigration reform legislation and will work to push bipartisan efforts without watering down our democratic values. I will push for expedited work permits for those already here because we have to speed up the process. I will push for a fairer and more efficient process for asylum claims and additional immigrant visas for families and workers—while we have policies and action in place, we aren’t here to dehumanize and tear apart families. And I will side with efforts to increase funding for more immigration judges, asylum officers, border patrol agents, and equipment. Finally, I am a proponent of the President having the ability to shut down the border when/if the system is overwhelmed. Learn more
Tax cuts for the wealthy have led to increasingly shameful economic inequality and massive reduction in government revenue. All the while, the rest of America struggles with inflation and increased interest rates, proposals to decrease social programs, Medicare, and Social Security. This is an insult to hard-working Americans. From Congress, I will push legislation that ensures we tax billionaires their fair share and stop increasing the tax burden on the middle class.
