Police should be fully funded to ensure adoption of reform best practices as well as accountability standards. Law enforcement should be further supplemented by mental health crisis response alternatives, and I support community policing efforts that actively bridge gaps between law enforcement and those living in neighborhoods.

I will make sure veterans have access to healthcare, that no veteran is left homeless, and that no veteran falls through the cracks of a broken system. That means that the VA must remain staffed and funded. We must also invest innovative medical care treatments and mental health services to address chronic ailments like PTSD and to combat the epidemic of veteran suicide. Learn more

We must also restore Medicaid to the fullest extent possible to ensure those who need care are covered. Learn more
I will push for legislation that addresses the key factors that have led to the housing shortage, including addressing the increased share of housing supply ownership by the private equity sector. I support placing conditions and restrictions on private equity from permanently owning single family homes as assets. Learn more
Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth, Tom Homan, Stephen Miller – all of them should be removed from office today. But no ICE supervisor, agent, or police official of any executive agency should make the mistake that Congress will fail to hold them accountable. If you act against Americans, you will face a lifetime consequence from the Congress of the United States. Learn more
I am a staunch advocate for our unions and will fight to strengthen workers’ rights. I will advocate for raising the federal minimum wage to 15/hour and indexing the minimum wage to inflation. In Congress, I will support the PRO Act to ensure protections for workers and make it harder for corporations to stop workers from forming and joining unions. Learn more
