Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am running to support Medicare for All. About four years ago, I was troubled over an unusual spot on my head. Fortunately, at the time, I was on Medicaid and was able to get tested without paying an unaffordable deductible. The doctors found cancerous cells and removed them—the ability to get tested early saved my life. Therefore, I am fighting for Medicare for All to provide everyone with preventative care before a disease upends their lives.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Pass Medicare for All. It will save lives and prevent millions from going into debt.
• Address rising costs. Every congressional act must be designed to lower prices for Americans.
• Corporate Money out of Politics. Unlike Andy Kim, who took millions from corporations, our campaign does not take money from corporate interests.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

The most important issue facing my district is rising prices. I would advocate for the following policies to lower cost:

Eliminate taxes on social security. Seniors struggling to pay bills should not be taxed on money that is owed to them.

We should raise taxes on corporations who are increasing prices while raking in record profits.

Reduce Trump's tariffs to lower prices.

Help families afford basic necessities by expanding the Child Tax Credit, which would mean thousands of dollars for the average NJ family.

Note: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses. Any edits made by Ballotpedia will be clearly marked with [brackets] for the public. If the candidate disagrees with an edit, he or she may request the full removal of the survey response from Ballotpedia.org. Ballotpedia does not edit or correct typographical errors unless the candidate's campaign requests it.
