After high school, Kyle pursued a career as a recording artist and performer for several years while keeping day jobs such as waitering and delivering for Grubhub. Traveling around the country as a struggling artist and tipped-worker and talking to all different types of Americans along the way only furthered his belief in the need for radical change in the country. He became more active in organizing, marching and speaking out on social media. Witnessing the rise of progressive leaders convinced him to quit music and run for senate.
In his bid for state senate, Kyle won't be taking a dime of corporate PAC money and promises to fight for a bold platform that transforms life for the working class, upends systems of racism and inequality and helps stop climate change . Kyle will work to protect and enhance women, gay, transgender and immigrant rights and promote housing justice and healthcare as human rights.- Climate change is the great challenge of our time and must be met with bold, aggressive action to stop or reverse its devastating effects.
- Healthcare for all is a human right that can be achieved through smart policy making at the state level for those still uninsured.
- We must prioritize working class families over the big developers through reasonable regulations and investing in quality public housing to keep people in their homes.
