My politics are built on solidarity, dignity, and liberation. Through my experiences with sobriety, mental health recovery, and community organizing, I have seen how people come together when systems fail them. Those experiences taught me the power of compassion and the strength found in our shared struggles.
My policy priorities are rooted in justice, affordability, and integrity. I am running for Congress because I believe our government should reflect the people it serves. Every person deserves the chance to live with stability, fairness, and hope, and I am ready to fight for that future.- Justice: Everyone deserves fairness, safety, and equal opportunity. I will fight to reform systems that criminalize poverty, harm immigrants, and ignore working families. Justice means building a government that protects people, not profits, and ensures every voice is heard and valued.
- Affordability: No one should have to choose between rent, food, and healthcare. I will work to lower costs, raise wages, and expand access to childcare and housing so families can live with stability and dignity. Affordability is not a privilege. It is a right.
- Integrity: Public service should be rooted in honesty and accountability. I will not answer to corporations or billionaires, only to the people I represent. Integrity means showing up, telling the truth, and fighting for what is right, even when it’s hard.
