Campaign themes
2018
| “ |
Jobs We need to pass laws that will incentivize entrepreneurship and create good-paying, modern, green collar jobs. Instead of giving tax breaks to companies like Wal-Mart that rely on low wage jobs and ruin small town economies, let’s invest in jobs that actually move our country forward. Health Care We need to pass Medicare for All – this will transform our country by ensuring everyone, regardless of their income, has quality health care. No one should ever have to choose between paying rent and paying medical bills – that’s just wrong. Education Education is the silver bullet that can pull people out of poverty, create new opportunities for those who aren’t privileged, and boost our entire economy. We need to increase investments in our school system so that every child, whether they live in a big city, the suburbs, or rural America, has access to a quality education that allows them to live up to their fullest potential. Veterans We have the greatest fighting force in the world, and we need to start treating our members in the military with the respect and services they deserve. We must strengthen the VA system, not privatize it, and guarantee veterans receive timely access to high quality, comprehensive, and veteran-centric care at no added cost to veterans. We must also provide the job training and transition services our soldiers need when moving back into civilian life. Women Despite the progress we have made, women still do not have equal rights and the respect they deserve in our society. We must continue to speak out for a women’s right to choose, equal pay, proper health care that includes birth control, and workplace opportunities. Also, we must speak out and against the misogynistic rhetoric that continues to be pushed out from the White House. Seniors We must protect the earned benefits our older residents have paid into over a lifetime of hard work and sacrifice. Medicare and Social Security should never be on the chopping block, but instead should be strengthened so that we can make it solvent for the generations to come.[2] |
