| Collapse all
Out of 435 members of Congress, only 25 are moms of school-aged children. I believe that if we had 100 (or 250!) moms of young kids in Congress, it would change the conversation in Washington completely - from combatting the climate emergency, to tackling gun violence, to implementing policies like universal pre-K that we know families need to get their kids on the right track.
- I'm running so our next generation has a chance to have a Congress that fights as hard for them as moms like me fight each and every single day to protect our kids.
- Corporate special interests have brought Congress to a standstill when it comes to policies that would help working people, whereas Big Oil, the NRA, and Big Pharma continue to reap benefits. No corporate lobbyist will ever convince me to sell out my kids and no special interest will ever be more special to me than your kids either.
- If progressive are going to start making meaningful change on the issues that we care about the most, we need to be sending new and different types of leaders to Washington.
I'm very passionate about combatting the climate emergency so all of our kids have a chance to live on a planet that isn't in peril; common-sense gun reform because our country deserves schools and streets free of gun violence; and reducing economic inequality so everyone in my District and across our country has a fair shot at good paying jobs.
