Campaign themes

2018

“	Medicare for all We must implement Medicare for All because health care is a right, not a privilege. Our district has 83,000 people without health insurance--that's unacceptable. We must stop Republican plans to kick more people off of health care, then go on offense to get Medicare for All passed. Fixing the rigged economy We need an economy that works for everyone and not just the people at the top. We must protect our economic and political liberty, bust up monopolies and “too big to fail” firms, and get big money out of politics. That means overturning Citizens United, bringing back trust-busting, and standing with organized labor. Fighting climate change Climate change is real. We must get our carbon emissions down to net zero by 2035 to preserve a free and prosperous future. We should implement a carbon fee and dividend system to spur innovation and slow emissions, but that's not enough. We need a Marshall-Plan-style program to electrify our energy system using solar and wind power, strong efficiency standards, and regulations to cram down carbon emissions in time to avoid catastrophic climate change. Net neutrality Net Neutrality is the basic idea that Internet service providers like Comcast and Verizon should be prohibited from blocking, slowing down, or speeding up apps, content, or websites. Net Neutrality is essential to an open, democratic Internet. The FCC recently voted to gut Net Neutrality in the face of deep public opposition, but we don't have to take it. Sign our petition to save Net Neutrality. Combating racism Stop the assault on communities of color, which includes ending mass incarceration, the war on drugs, and mass deportation. Structural racism and right-wing scaremongering has corroded the American Dream for too many, for too long. Living wage now Raise the minimum wage to $15/hour so people who work full-time can afford a life with dignity. If you work 40 hours a week then you should not live in poverty. We need to fight for a living wage for all. Fight for 15! Act on automation We must come to grips with the real implications of the coming deep automation of our economy so that mass automation doesn’t destroy the income of millions of Americans. College for all Make public colleges and universities free to attend and fund quality K-12 education where local schools, not standardized testing companies, shape our children’s destinies. Women's rights American women should know that they will receive equal pay on the job, as well as paid maternity leave should they choose to have a child. They should also be afforded the respect of having control of their own bodies, and their reproductive rights should be safe from right wing attacks on their freedom. LGBTQIA rights We must stand with our LGBTQIA neighbors against the right-wing attack on their rights and relationships. Marriage equality and respect in the workplace are non-negotiable.	”
