Get StartedI am not going to be one of those members of Congress who puts on a flag pin, votes for the defense budget, and calls it supporting the troops. Supporting the troops means funding the VA. Supporting the troops means protecting whistleblowers who expose fraud in defense contracting. Supporting the troops means making sure that when someone comes home broken, the country that sent them actually takes care of them. Learn more
We owe veterans more than a bumper sticker and a thank-you-for-your-service. We owe them a system that actually works. That means fully funding the VA, cutting processing times, expanding access to mental health care, and holding the defense industry accountable for the money it extracts from taxpayers while the people who actually served get left behind.

We need increased federal investment in public education, especially in special education and Title I funding for high-need schools. We need universal pre-K and affordable childcare, because forcing families to choose between a parent's career and a child's early development is a policy failure with generational consequences. We need teacher pay and housing assistance programs that allow educators to actually live where they work. Learn more
We need stronger whistleblower protections. We need mandatory financial disclosure for officials with business interests that intersect with the policies they control. We need real transparency in federal contracting and restored independence for inspectors general. We need REAL punishments for people and corporations who bribe and cheat their way into power.

Nobody should go bankrupt because they got sick. Nobody should ration insulin. Nobody should skip a doctor visit because the copay is a week's groceries. And nobody should have to stay in a job they hate because losing employer-sponsored insurance means losing access to care. Learn more
We need to expand and protect the Affordable Care Act while working toward universal coverage. We need to let Medicare negotiate drug prices across the board, not just for a handful of medications. We need mental health parity that actually means something, with real enforcement and real access to providers. And we need to go after the pharmaceutical companies that jack up prices on drugs that cost pennies to manufacture. Learn more
We need federal incentives that actually build affordable housing, not luxury developments with a few affordable units slapped on so they can call it "mixed-income." We need real renter protections, including federal support for just-cause eviction standards and rent stabilization. And we need to go after the corporate landlords and institutional investors who are buying up housing stock to squeeze every dollar out of communities they will never set foot in. Learn more
We need to stop using federal agencies as instruments of intimidation against our communities. We need a real pathway to citizenship for undocumented residents who have built lives and contributed to this country. We need protections for DACA recipients and TPS holders who have been stuck in legal limbo for years. We need to reject any policy that uses cruelty as a deterrent, because that is not border security. That is state violence. Learn more
