I am proud to be the only first-time candidate, woman of color and woman under 40 years of age in my race. I'm proud of that because only one other person in the US Congress can say the same. Being in my race is a testament to our collective commitment to changing this, because more inclusive representation leads to more inclusive policies.
I am the proud founder of HBCU House, a platform that connects students to 21st century career opportunities. And as a former Chief of Staff, I helped launch the Congressional Bipartisan HBCU Caucus and was instrumental in the push to diversify Capitol Hill. I also co-founded the Black Women's Congressional Alliance and the bipartisan and bicameral Women Chief's Alliance.
I have a long record of service, and I will continue that when elected.- Inclusive representation matters: we cannot rest until all people have the ability to take a seat at the leadership table. Inclusive representation leads to stronger policies and laws that address all of our concerns.
- Break the mold: There is no such thing as the typical candidate. I hope my time as a candidate and elected official encourages others to have the courage to try. We all bring something unique and important to the table - and we need all voices at the table.
- Experience does matter: We have to elect folks who know how to get things done. It's time to put people before politics and refocus on the everyday issues that are leaving people behind. Doing this requires someone new voices, with fresh ideas and with the experience to do the job.
Fixing our broken criminal justice system by addressing the cradle to prison pipeline - we are leaving too many of our young folks behind. Specifically looking at misdemeanor reforms and prosecutorial data collection.
Investing in education - Brother Martin Luther King, Jr taught us that education is the great equalizer. We have a responsibility to knock down barriers to education and to invest in workforce development and job training. My District is home to three HBCUs, including our nation's largest. Ensuring these schools are equally funded is a top priority.
Making healthcare a basic right and stomping out healthcare disparities - no longer can we tolerate a system that allows our skin-tone and zip codes to determine our outcomes.
Fighting for a more livable world - making our streets safer by passing true gun-reform and cleaning up our environment and ending environment injustices.
