Put power back in to the hands of the People.

Fight the rampant corruption that has corroded every aspect of our political system.

Fight the forces of division and show the people that we can and must unite!
I started running for office because of the astonishing amount of homelessness I saw in my community. I support Housing First policies because we need bold action that offer real solutions to this problem, not band-aid policies that waste money and help nobody.

I am a strong supporter of Universal Healthcare. Every American family knows the anxiety and fear that comes from dealing with this country's healthcare system. We have insurance companies whose profit motive demands that they do everything they can to deny you the care you need. They are leaches, and they suck the life out of thousands of Americans every year. Almost every other country on Earth has created a successful Universal Healthcare system, and as the wealthiest nation on Earth, it's absurd to think that we can't do the same.

We must do everything we can to fight Climate Change. We have the resources. We have the technology. The only thing we lack is the will to act. Now is not the time for weak leadership. We cannot afford to do nothing. We cannot keep allowing fossils to burn away our future. Now is the time to come together and demand our government work for ALL OF US.
