Get StartedOur public policies should be based on objective facts and science, not political nonsense. The rest of the industrialized world has recognized the urgency of addressing global climate change. Yet, the United States finds itself in league with third world nations on this issue.

Congress must take bold and bipartisan action which secures our border and allows for reasonable and humane immigration laws. Congress has completely ceded its authority to the President, who is enacting an enforcement-only policy with no long term solution. These policies are sowing fear in our communities, interfering with small business and impacting not only our daily lives but our children’s lives. As we look forward towards the future, we must move the immigration process out of stagnation, provide fair and humane vetting and reasonable pathways to citizenship for our neighbors who are living and working here.

The cost of living and raising a family is climbing dramatically. We must have a fair economy and that starts with a fair tax code. I don’t believe we should be giving billionaires tax cuts at a time when we are debating whether vulnerable children should have food provided by SNAP benefits. We need a tax code which empowers the middle class and raises people from poverty into the middle class. Learn more
