| Collapse all
In 2015, was the youngest intern in my White House class. dropped out of college to take that opportunity, maxed out credit cards just to get to D.C., and saw firsth and how disconnected our "leaders" are from the people they're supposed to serve.
Since then, I've organized frontline campaigns across the country from climate justice to healthcare to workers' rights. And right now, I'm an out-of-work organizer, narrating sci-fi on YouTube, freelancing to get by, and fighting for a country where the rest of us finally have a shot. I'm not running to impress donors or consultants.
I'm running because our government doesn't need another millionaire placeholder someone who's Iived this struggle and is fired up enough to fight back.- The rich didn't get rich on their own they got rich off us. My Wealth Reclamation Tax is a simple 0.5% tax on Wall Street trades that will generate hundreds of billions in public investment without taxing working people a dime. Every dollar will be locked to housing, healthcare, education, good jobs, and democratic reforms the very things our communities have been denied. It's time to reverse the decades of theft, speculation, and greed.
- I'm not here to fight for one issue I'm here to fight for you and help build a movement That means good union jobs, clean air and water, housing that's affordable, schools that lift kids up, and healthcare that doesn't bankrupt families. I don't believe in piecemeal survival, I believe in covering people fully and restoring dignity across every part of life. This campaign is about building a society where your zip code, your job title, or your bank balance doesn't decide whether you get to live well.
- l'm not taking a dime from corporate PACS or AIPAC. I'm not here to play the insider game or work the backrooms of D.C. I'm here to co-govern with the people of this district to listen, to show up, and to deliver. My loyalty is not for sale. I'm beholden only to the folks I'm asking to represent. If elected, every vote cast and every policy fight for will be rooted in what serves our community not the highest bidder.
That's why l'm fighting for Medicare for All, a Green New Deal for housing and jobs, tuition-free college, and a Wealth Reclamation Tax to make Wall Street finally pay us back.
Not just because it's sci-fi, but because it speaks to something we feel every day.
We're running out of time. Our systems are collapsing around us. But the answer isn't despair. It's to care more, not less. To fight harder for each other. And to plan like we actually believe future generations deserve a livable world.
That movie reminds me what our ideals should be rooted in: long-term thinking, collective responsibility, and the refusal to give up on people. But also to wonder. To dream of tomorrow. To nourish your curiosity.
We need champions. We need leaders ready to meet the urgency of now.
I also know what it’s like to struggle. I’ve been broke, uninsured, and hurt by the same systems I’m now trying to change. That keeps me grounded. I don’t forget who I’m fighting for, because I’ve lived through what so many others are facing. I am STILL living it.
First, you listen not just to the loudest voices or the most connected, but to renters, single moms, frontline workers, and folks who've never been in a town hall because they're working overtime.
You listen with humility and urgency. Then you fight not with soundbites, but with real legislative and political moves.
You push bills, rally support, build coalitions, and use every ounce of leverage you have to move the needle on what actually matters.
I also remember that day for another reason. My dad was hit by an 18-wheeler on his motorcycle while heading to work. He survived, but it could've easily been one more life lost that day. He went through surgeries and physical therapy for a long time to recover.
Recently, I started treatment with Spravato, and so far it’s been going well. It’s given me a level of relief and stability I hadn’t felt in years. That experience has reinforced for me how important it is that everyone has access to mental healthcare that works for them, without stigma, without financial barriers, and without having to wait until things are at their worst.
What matters most is whether you understand how policy decisions affect people’s lives and whether you have the skills and the courage to fight for them. That can come from working in government, but it can also come from organizing, running a small business, teaching, or living through the struggles you want to fix.
We're facing overlapping crises: climate change, economic inequality, a broken healthcare system, attacks on democracy, and a housing market that's pricing people out of stability. But instead of real action, we get delay, deflection, and half-measures.
I also support term limits for the Supreme Court. No one should hold that much power for life. We need 18-year staggered terms, a binding code of ethics, and real consequences for conflicts of interest.
Barbara Lee because she’s principled, consistent, and willing to stand alone if it’s the right thing to do. Her vote against the blank check for war after 9/11 showed real courage.
Bernie Sanders because he’s spent his entire career fighting for working people, whether it was popular or not. He’s proven you can push big ideas into the mainstream by speaking plainly, organizing outside of Washington, and refusing corporate money.
That moment stuck with me because it was raw and honest. Too many elected officials are disconnected from the people they represent. It reminded me why I’m running: to bridge that gap and fight for the folks who feel like no one in Washington is listening.
I will work with anyone who wants to improve people's lives. But I'm not going to water down basic rights or needs to make something more politically comfortable.
I would use this responsibility to push policies like the Wealth Reclamation Tax, which places a small fee on Wall Street speculation and redirects those billions into the communities that have been left behind.
These are the places where the issues that matter most to people in Maryland's 4th District schools, wages, housing, healthcare, clean energy, and accountability.
Members of Congress shouldn't get rich in office and if they do, the public should know exactly how and why.
Every meeting with a lobbyist should be logged. Every committee vote should be easy to find. Every bill should come with a plain-language breakdown of who benefits, who pays, and who's lobbying for it.
If a member of Congress violates ethics laws or enriches themselves through their position? That should carry real consequences not just bad press, but expulsion, prosecution, and public accountability.
