Expand all | Collapse all

As the son of immigrants who migrated here from India, I was fed the narrative of pursuing the American Dream. After working hard, playing by the rules, going to college and obtaining two masters degrees, my life feels more vulnerable than ever. I am crushed by student loan debt, I cannot buy a home in the city that I love, and the cost of childcare is actively preventing me and my wife from starting a family.
  • We need a just transition to green jobs and infrastructure built around decarbonization and economic democracy.
  • Housing is a human right and too many families face increasing burdens that do not allow us to thrive.
  • Healthcare for the common good is something we can win through Medicare for all. We need to address systemic problems at their roots and promoting policies that create healthier environments for our communities.
Beyond the three guiding pillars of the campaign, helping our small businesses will always be an area of policy I am personally passionate about.
