Get StartedFederal funding for local law enforcement should be restored in areas with complex crime patterns, while deeper collaboration across federal agencies works to eradicate organized crime. At the same time, federal legislation should be advanced to address fraud against consumers and businesses, ensuring that economic crimes are treated with the same seriousness as violent ones.

I will oppose unnecessary federal spending that creates inflation. I will also advocate for a strategic energy plan to reduce the cost of gas and electricity, and indirectly the cost of most goods. Learn more
The AI Boom is bringing a huge demand for blue-collar jobs. The federal government should encourage the creation of this new workforce by funding vocational training in partnership with leading employers. For those students who choose higher education, federal grants should be need-blind so that every young American can dream big. Learn more
The United States must invest in energy production — including Small Modular Reactors — to support the infrastructure demands of AI, while pursuing regulatory reform that does not discriminate against startup labs. Learn more

Members of Congress and the Senate should be required to purchase their insurance through the ACA or Medicare if eligible, subjecting them to the same coverage they impose on the rest of America. Learn more
I will tackle the underlying structure of what makes healthcare in America so expensive. This means ensuring Medicare has the ability to negotiate drug costs, fight to end pharmacy benefit managers, and fight the corporate consolidation of our hospitals and providers that have driven up healthcare costs. Finally, pharmaceutical companies must not charge Americans more than they are charging citizens of other countries around the world. Learn more
Additionally, I will fight to refund the almost trillion dollars cut from Medicaid in the Big Beautiful Bill, and fight to re-instate the billions of dollars cut in funding at the National Institutes of Health. Learn more
In Congress, I will fight for a national public option that covers essential medical services. Those who like their private insurance can keep it, those who want to shop the ACA marketplace can continue to do so, but for those who want insurance that crosses state lines and doesn’t require an age or income requirement like Medicaid and Medicare, they should have the ability to buy into a national public option. This has been a key ingredient missing from the Affordable Care Act and I plan to fight for it in Congress. Learn more
We need a smart Public Private Partnership for Housing like that of the Post-War II Era. This will involve the federal government providing loans for new housing development across the US where populations are growing. Learn more

I oppose the ownership of single family homes by private equity groups and corporations. I will advocate to streamline the permitting process to make it easier for people to build through new technologies like AI. Learn more
H-1B visas should be made more available provided that native workers are not being displaced in the process. Seasonal work visa programs should also be expanded with stronger protections for migrant workers, ensuring that the people who come here to work are treated with dignity and fairness. Learn more
Individuals who have been in the United States for ten years and have not committed any crimes should be eligible for naturalization. I will protect DACA recipients. Inhumane ICE tactics must be stopped in American cities. Learn more
It is vital that the federal government encourage innovation while creating an industry-led regulatory framework to address safety concerns. It is also essential to advance Universal Basic Income to manage the major impending labor market dislocations caused by automation. Learn more

Beyond lowering the cost of everyday purchases, I will advance childcare subsidies for low and middle income families to parents who wish to stay home with their young children, as well as to daycare providers.

For seniors , I will work to increase all social security checks - no means test required - by 250 a month, for three years to help pass this affordability crisis. Learn more
