I am a progressive with a common sense approach to policy. I believe in a strong safety net that protects the most vulnerable and I still believe that Capitalism is the best approach in creating prosperity in the modern age.

My main focus is to maintain and support what is working and reform Capitalism where regulation/oversight is needed. This includes strong unions and funding public programs that provide the services we all rely on.
Yes. This is essential in ensuring that the legislature gets the people's work done.
