Campaign themes

Perez's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[1]
Healthy Democracy
- Excerpt: "At a time when public confidence in government is perhaps at its lowest in our history, when government has come to a standstill, held hostage by those who seek to serve themselves and not the common good, it is imperative that health and trust be restored to our democracy or we risk losing it all together."
Civil Liberties
- Excerpt: " Every human being has the right to be treated with dignity and all individuals residing in the Unites States deserve equal protection. I believe that all human beings are created equal, born with the right to equality, safety, and respect."
Education
- Excerpt: "The promise of America is that every child has the opportunity to grow up and have a successful life. That promise is meaningless unless every child in our community can go to a quality public school."
