Tarik Khan (D)
Throughout my life, I have always been a bridge-builder. My campaign currently has the endorsement of a dozen major unions and the support of 9th and 21st Ward Democrats, the WFP, and a dozen other advocacy organizations. These endorsements show that I am building broad support, and my coalition building will continue as State Representative.
As a nurse, I have tirelessly worked to advocate for groups that have traditionally been left behind by our government. Some of these initiatives include starting a special education in Haiti for children with disabilities, launching a home vaccine program for people with disabilities, giving over 800 shots in the home to those unable to receive them on location, to championing anti-discrimination policies as President of PSNA.
Tarik Khan (D)
I treat many patients who work long and stressful hours and in jobs that do not pay them enough to adequately provide housing, food, medical costs, and leisure for themselves and their families. I also support a worker's right to organize in the workplace and will fight alongside unions to ensure workers are treated with dignity and respect.
Quality Education for All: Many of our children in Philadelphia and PA receive their education in toxic schools with lead, mold, and asbestos. I will support legislation to ensure that schools are fairly and fully funded, class sizes are limited, teachers get the pay they deserve, and students have access to an on-site nurse, librarian, and psychologist.
Quality Health Care for All and Protections for Patients and Staff:
Safe staffing has been the top issue for our frontline nurses for decades since it leads to decreased patient deaths, nursing injuries, and costs. I will co-sponsor and lead the passage of the Patient Safety Act (HB 106/ SB 240), a bill I helped write in a historic collaboration with nursing unions and professional nursing organizations. Additionally, I believe that healthcare is a human right, and I support a Medicare-for-all system to ensure all people receive quality healthcare regardless of their income.
