Expand all | Collapse all

I am a multiethnic Black Jewish woman who is a lifelong Democrat. University educated (master degree) in the United States of America and Europe, I flipped burgers and packed fries at Burger King, was a freelance journalist and served as a federal government employee for the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, during college to pay my tuition. Over the last 20+ years I have worked as a fulltime professional journalist, small business owner and a children's author. My platform includes(but is not limited to) small business support, Medicare For All, expanded voting rights, climate action/justice, women's rights (from healthcare to wage equity), LGBTQ+ rights, labor rights, affordable housing and effective solutions for houseless people, eliminating child poverty and rebuilding American manufacturing (infrastructure).
  • The time is now for change. We have had the same type of representative for 172 years. Representation matters. We deserve and need a diverse, working class representative for our divers (45%+ POC) district. We need a leader with solid work and life experience who focuses on all segments of our district. I bring more than 2 decades of life and work experience that make me able to relate well to all people.
  • Voting for me is voting for a person of integrity who will not, as our representative has done, take foreign business lobbyist money and junkets to other countries: Voting for me means having a representative who does not make stock investments that profit from the pain of other people. Voting for me means choosing a representative who has the common sense, compassion, vision and resilience. I know through personal experience what it is to go through hard times and what it takes to come through the struggles.
  • I am seeking to be a public servant, not a politician.
I am personally passionate about voting rights, affordable housing, small business support, equitable wage laws, healthcare and criminal justice reform.
Selflessness. The heart of a pubic servant. Compassion. The ability to listen to and connect with other human beings.
My legacy goal is to leave this world slightly better than when I came into it. I want to have touched some lives in a positive manner and helped others have the freedom and ability to be their best.
I was 12 years old. I sold saltwater taffy, chocolate and fudge parties after school and on weekends. I did it for two years before becoming a drugstore cashier in high school.
I believe representatives should have 20 years of work and life experience under their belt before representing the people of a district. There are things you learn , skills you gain, by working.
I think term limits should be enacted for Congress. No more than three 2-year terms, total) in the U.S. House of Representatives and no more than two 6-year terms in the U.S. Senate. It is absurd that we have millionaires enriching themselves at public expense for 20-50 years.
