- I am running to save and protect lives by fighting for affordable healthcare for all, common-sense gun safety laws, and a clean, sustainable environment we cherish.
- I am running to fix what's broken, so we have a state and an economy that works for and benefits everyone, not just those at the very top. That means fighting for a livable minimum wage, affordable housing, fully funded public education, and equal protection and justice for all people.
- It's time to put people first, hold the powerful accountable, and past time we protect the most vulnerable; because people matter, not power.
In other words, I am passionate about social, racial, environmental, economic, and legal justice. That is why I am fighting for healthcare for all. No one should fear going broke from a disease more than the disease itself. It is not a radical idea to say, in our very wealthy state, every person should be able to go to the doctor. It is why I am fighting for a living wage. If you have to work multiple full-time jobs to barely makes ends meet, that's not freedom, that is abusive, and we simply must do better. The same can be said for afford housing, affordable childcare, fully funding public education, and ensuring a clean, sustainable environment. It is why I am fighting to reform our criminal justice system and reimagine how we serve all communities.
