Get StartedI will also work closely with our school districts and higher education partners, because the strength of our local economy depends on the strength of our schools. A community that invests in its children invests in its own future. When a child gets a strong education, the entire district benefits for decades. Learn more
I am running to make sure the next generation of teachers has a reason to walk into the classroom, and the next generation of students has someone there to greet them. Learn more
I will support the broader build-out of clean energy that creates good jobs right here in the district, from wind and solar to the skilled trades work of modernizing our grid and our buildings. Climate policy done well is also economic policy. Learn more
In Congress, I will fight to transition the Pine Bend Refinery toward cleaner energy while protecting the pay and livelihoods of the people who work there. That means federal investment in cleaner technology and retooling, paired with strong guarantees for workers: wage protection, retraining tied to real jobs, and a seat at the table as these decisions are made. Learn more
I will also protect the air, water, and land that our families and farmers depend on, and make sure the burdens of pollution do not fall hardest on the communities least able to bear them. Environmental justice means everyone breathes clean air, not just the people who can afford to live away from the smokestacks. Learn more
I am running to change that. Lowering drug costs and protecting access are not partisan goals. They are about whether our neighbors can stay healthy and whole. That is a fight worth bringing to Washington, and it is one I will take on without hesitation. Learn more
In Congress, I will fight to let public programs negotiate drug prices, cap out-of-pocket costs for essential medications, and crack down on the practices that keep prices artificially high. Lowering the cost of medicine is one of the fastest, most concrete ways to put money back in families’ pockets. Learn more
I will defend and strengthen access to affordable, quality healthcare for everyone in the district. That means protecting coverage that families rely on, defending protections for people with pre-existing conditions, and expanding access to care in the rural and underserved parts of our district where clinics and providers are scarce. Learn more
I will support federal investment and zoning reform incentives that encourage construction of affordable and workforce housing in both our suburban and rural communities, paired with protections that keep that housing affordable over the long term rather than letting it flip to the highest bidder. Learn more
In Congress, I will fight to cap excessive annual rent increases so families can plan their lives instead of bracing for the next jump. Renters deserve protection from being squeezed out of their homes by increases that have nothing to do with the cost of maintaining a building. Learn more
I will push to expand affordable homeownership through down-payment assistance, support for first-time and first-generation buyers, and incentives that help build the kind of modestly priced homes our district actually needs. Learn more
I will treat universal broadband as the infrastructure priority it is. Learn more
In Congress, I will fight to bring our fair share of federal infrastructure dollars home to the Second District. That means investing in suburban and rural transit expansion so that getting to work, school, and care does not depend on owning two cars. Learn more
Supporting expanded rail access that connects our communities to the wider region and reduces the strain on our roads. And it means finishing the job on broadband, so that every household, no matter how rural, has the reliable, affordable high-speed internet that modern life and modern work require. Learn more
I will also fight to protect the basic machinery of democracy: the right to vote, fair and accessible elections, and government that is transparent and accountable to the people it serves. Learn more
I will back small businesses too, because they are the backbone of our local economy and they thrive when their customers and employees have money in their pockets. Strong wages and strong small businesses are not in conflict. They feed each other. Learn more
I will also push for investment in the skills and training that lead to good jobs, from apprenticeships in the trades to career pathways for young people who are not headed to a four-year degree. Learn more
In Congress, I will defend the right to organize and bargain collectively, and I will oppose efforts to weaken the protections that give workers real power in their own lives. Learn more
In Congress, I will fight to raise the federal minimum wage and, just as importantly, to tie it to regional living costs. A single national number ignores reality. Learn more
I will support workers’ right to organize and bargain collectively, because unions built the middle class and remain one of the few forces that give working people real leverage. Learn more
