Get StartedElizabeth knows the way we lower the rate of abortions is not through bans, it is investing in our communities and addressing the root cause of abortions. The issues is not black and white. Healthcare decisions belong to patients and their medical providers—not politicians. Reproductive care, including abortion, is part of comprehensive healthcare. People deserve the freedom to make medical decisions based on their own circumstances, values, and needs. Restricting access does not make families safer or healthier; it creates barriers that disproportionately impact low-income individuals, survivors of violence, rural communities, and those without consistent healthcare access.

Supporting reproductive freedom means ensuring safe, legal access to care; strengthening maternal health services; supporting contraception and family planning; and respecting the privacy and expertise of medical professionals. Trusting women and doctors is not only common sense—it is consistent with longstanding principles of medical ethics and patient autonomy. Learn more
Every person deserves the freedom to live authentically without fear of discrimination. LGBTQIA Americans contribute to every part of our communities—as teachers, service members, parents, business owners, and neighbors. Protecting their rights strengthens families, enhances community wellbeing, and upholds the constitutional promise of equal protection. Marriage between consenting adults is a personal decision, not a matter for government intrusion. The ability to access healthcare, secure employment, participate fully in public life, and raise families without discrimination is foundational to a free society. Standing against discrimination means supporting policies that ensure equal treatment in housing, education, public accommodations, and employment. Learn more
Every family deserves to feel safe in their home, their neighborhood, and their community. But true public safety is not achieved through soundbites or fear—it is achieved through smart policy, accountability, and investment in the root causes of crime. We know what works: strong communities, stable families, good schools, good jobs, and a justice system that treats people fairly. Learn more
Communities with strong schools, accessible childcare, stable jobs, and affordable housing experience significantly lower crime rates. When we invest in people, we reduce the factors that lead to crime and create long-term public safety. That means expanding after-school programs, supporting youth mentorship opportunities, increasing access to mental health care, and creating job pipelines for young adults. Prevention isn’t “soft”—it is the smartest, most cost-effective approach to public safety we have. Learn more
Justice should never be influenced by profit. We must eliminate private prisons and end predatory practices like exorbitant court fees, cash bail systems that punish poverty, and probation structures that trap people in endless cycles of debt and incarceration. Reform is not about being lenient—it’s about being effective. We need policies that reduce repeat offenses, support reentry, and ensure that punishment fits the crime. Justice should be equal, consistent, and guided by data, not by profit margins. Learn more
Improving TRICARE access and continuity of care for military families. Learn more
Companies shouldn’t be allowed to raise prices simply because they can. We need stronger antitrust enforcement, limits on stock buybacks, and penalties for corporations that manipulate supply and profit at the expense of family stability. Learn more
We need bold federal action to rein in the costs of essentials—prescription drugs, housing, childcare, groceries, and utilities. That means expanding price-gouging protections, strengthening FTC enforcement, and holding corporations accountable when they hike prices without cause. Learn more
Expanding access to primary care, OB/GYNs, and mental health providers. Learn more
Working toward Medicaid for all within the next 6 years, while focusing on improved access and affordability today, with a profit cap for insurance companies and reducing admin costs. Learn more
Lowering prescription drug costs and banning predatory pricing. Learn more

Protecting Dreamers and mixed-status families from unnecessary harm. Learn more
Immigrants are essential to our economy, our communities, and our future. They are workers, parents, caregivers, entrepreneurs, and service members. They start businesses, fill critical labor shortages, and contribute billions in taxes each year. America’s strength has always come from people willing to work hard and build a life here—and that remains true today. Learn more
Working families should not pay a higher tax rate than billionaires. It’s time to close loopholes, end corporate tax giveaways, implement a minimum tax on ultra-wealthy individuals, and require corporations—especially those making record profits—to pay their fair share. Learn more
Wages have not kept up with productivity, and families feel that gap every single day. I support raising the federal minimum wage, expanding the Earned Income Tax Credit, protecting workers’ right to organize, and ensuring that family leave and childcare are affordable and accessible. Learn more
