Campaign website
Lythcott-Haims’s campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Defending Reproductive Rights In Congress, Julie will fight to defeat a national abortion ban and to codify our right to an abortion. Julie will work to create opportunity for those going into reproductive health care, a medical profession that has been disincentivized by extreme attacks on providers and those they serve. And Julie will work to fully fund reproductive health care – including cancer screenings, prenatal care, contraceptive services, and abortion. No American should lack the ability to make decisions about their body or their future because of the extreme beliefs of politicians. Combatting Climate Change In Congress, Julie will carry that urgency with her daily. The fossil fuel industry fundamentally doesn’t want things to change, but for most Americans, change is in our best interest. By changing minds, we can create clean energy jobs, build healthier communities for our families and ensure corporate polluters pay for the damage they cause. Julie will use her ability to bring people together and find common ground to steer real progress on climate action, because we don’t have time to continue fighting about what is one of the biggest crises of our generation. Bringing Down The Cost of Living Julie has been a fearless champion for innovative and thoughtful approaches to solving our housing crisis, so the educators, firefighters and families that serve our community can afford to live in it. As a parent, Julie knows that the cost of childcare is untenable for working families right now, a reality that was made worse by the closing of facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Julie will work to bring down the cost of childcare, get parents back into the workforce, and ensure that our next generation is able to grow and thrive. And, as someone who knows the reality of paying out of pocket for essential health services, Julie will ensure that every American can afford quality health care – from infancy through our senior years, for mental health care and prescription drugs, and everything in between. Gun Safety Protecting Democracy In Congress, Julie will be an unwavering champion for this principle. Julie will support the Freedom to Vote Act, which will protect voting rights, end partisan gerrymandering, improve campaign finance, and safeguard the electoral process. Julie will also support the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act which will strengthen legal protections against discriminatory voting policies and practices. And Julie will support the Electoral College Reform Act to ensure that when we vote for President, each person’s vote has the same weight regardless of what state a person lives in. Together, we will do the work to protect and restore our most basic rights and freedoms.[2] |
