| Collapse all
- As an immigrant who experienced poverty and as the only woman of color in this race, the fight for racial, social, economic, and environmental justice is personal. I'm running to fight for working families and bring real change to a Congress run by corrupt special interests and rich white men for too long.
- We need leaders who represent our diversity and our courage, who aren't afraid to take on corrupt special interests and who know how to get it done. I've taken on corrupt corporations as a Wall Street regulator and won't accept a dollar from corporate PACs or lobbyists. As the most progressive candidate in this race, I am fighting to create a government and an economy that works for all of us.
- We are living in a moment of crisis. The covid-19 pandemic has killed thousands, tens of millions have lost their jobs and health insurance, and black and brown Americans are dying at disproportionate rates not only from the pandemic, but at the hands of police. We need progressive and anti-racist solutions to these crises, including Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, free pre-K for all, and reallocating funding from our racist criminal justice system to investments in our communities.
