He/Him/His. Lisa's Guy/Citizen Dad. Writer/Activist/Public Servant/Service Worker. This campaign for Congress is an extension of Our Revolution activism. The corporate leadership wing of the Democratic party thinks receiving corporate money and maintaining leadership roles within the party is more important than solving problems and winning elections. I am fighting for the soul of my party.
  • Universal health care free at the point of service with no co-pays, no premiums, no deductibles.
  • Save the planet and boost the economy with a Green New Deal. The transformation to clean energy creates union jobs, new housing, and new infrastructure for clean water.
  • Money out of politics. No wars, no prison state for profit. People getting rich on the public dime have selfish reasons for blocking public money to work for the rest of us.
I'm passionate about all areas of public policy that help America live up to its promises on paper and I strongly oppose those policies that do the opposite.
Most of what I've done in politics is fighting for people that are not me. I believe in the promise of America and I will sign the progressive legislation that will make America live up to her promises.
A Bright Shining Lie by Neil Sheehan. One long, ugly complex war captured by one well-researched book with a compelling narrative structure.

Making ends meet as a service worker and democratic socialist in a country that is brain-washed and bigoted against its own ideals.
