Get StartedWe must put an end to the random job cuts when the VA is already severely understaffed and veterans face long wait times. We must make sure those who serve our veterans can actually do their jobs. Learn more
If you serve four years honorably in the US military, you should automatically become a US citizen. Full stop. Learn more
We cannot let for-profit companies prey on veterans by charging them thousands of dollars to file benefit claims when that service is already offered for free, and when it is, by law, illegal to charge for that service. Veterans shouldn’t have to pay to access the benefits they’ve already earned, but our Congressman Jack Bergman is on the side of these shady companies after they donated tens of thousands of dollars to his campaign. This Act is opposed by both the Veterans of Foreign Wars and Disabled American Veterans. Learn more
No tariff wars that drive up the cost of building supplies. Learn more
Childcare is sometimes more than rent or a mortgage, and there are parents who are working just to pay for child care so they can continue working. Investing in childcare is an investment in our economy. New Mexico did it. We can, too. Learn more

A quarter of the district still doesn’t have reliable internet access. How can we compete in the age of AI, if we can’t even access the internet? Much like the age of electrification, access to the internet should be nonnegotiable. Learn more
The federal government should encourage growth, not stifle it or raise prices with tariffs. We need continued local investment with low cost lending opportunities, impact investing, grants and training of grant writers. Learn more
In 1960, the tax rate for the richest 1% was over 90%, today it is just 37%. We need to implement fair tax rates, and we need to take additional practical steps to eliminate tax workarounds that favor the ultrawealthy, like the “Angel of Death” loophole (where heirs do not pay tax on capital gains that occurred during the lifetime of the deceased). Learn more
That’s your money. You paid into the system for years out of your paycheck – it’s not a benefit. Remove the cap on social security. Learn more
In an age of massive income inequality, the rise of artificial intelligence, the gig economy – we need to be thinking about work and jobs into the future, and how we are protected as a working class. Unions protect workers, raise wages, ensure fair and safe working conditions. Instead of dismantling them, we need to strengthen them. There hasn’t been pro-labor legislation in over 100 years. It’s time for it. Pass the PRO-Act. Learn more
