I'm running for Senate because Pennsylvanians are dying. For millions of people, our healthcare system has been in crisis for their entire lives—especially for older adults, and Black and brown communities. In medical school, I was trained to diagnose a problem, develop a treatment plan, and work to get the patient better. Finding practical solutions to problems is what I do. I want to go to Washington to address the root causes of the problems that face our families and communities here in PA. I’m not a career politician—I’m a doctor. For the past 30 years, I’ve solved problems in hospitals and cared for countless patients. Today, I serve as Chair of Emergency Medicine at Pennsylvania Hospital, as well as founder of Oak Street Initiative, a nonprofit organization created to increase opportunity, access, and knowledge in our communities to solve Pennsylvania's most pressing problems. I live in Philadelphia—where I was born—with my husband, Patrick, and our boxer, Duke.
  • I have seen the consequences of policies from Washington that just don’t work for people. I want to work to create better solutions.
  • I am the only outsider, the only non-politician in this race. I am also the only front line worker in the race.
  • I will work tirelessly for practical solutions that are at the core of so many problems we face as a country. I will work to provide for better education, improve and expand access to healthcare , and create jobs through infrastructure investment.
We can’t overcome today’s crises unless we elect leaders who have been on the frontlines. That’s exactly where I’ve been over the past year during the coronavirus pandemic. I’m running for Senate for the 600,000 Americans and 25,000 Pennsylvanians who died of COVID-19—people who were disproportionately older adults and from Black, brown, and Asian communities. This pandemic has highlighted the gross inequalities that have existed in our country for far too long, and I aim to address them.

With 30 years of medical experience, I have the first-hand knowledge to help fix our broken healthcare system. I’ll work to make healthcare portable and affordable for every Pennsylvanian, lower the cost of prescription drugs, decriminalize and provide treatment for people with substance use disorders, save our rural hospitals, improve care for seniors, and stop the gun violence epidemic.

While addressing the public health and economic impacts of the pandemic, I believe we must create more equity and opportunity for all Pennsylvanians by raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour, bringing in better paying jobs through infrastructure investments, lowering prescription drug prices, making education and childcare more affordable, passing long overdue protections for the LGBTQ community, addressing systemic racism, and a whole lot more.
