- Access to Healthcare for All Americans
I became acutely aware of the cost of healthcare in seventh grade when I broke my arm, and my parents' health insurance refused coverage. My parents struggled for months to pay the emergency room bills. Parents should not suffer financial hardship because their children have bicycle accidents. As a preteen, I recognized the desperate need for all Americans to have access to healthcare. Thirty years later, the solution finally had a title: Medicare for All.
Representative Jayapal (D-WA) and Senator Sanders (I-VT) have been fighting for universal medical coverage for all Americans for nearly a decade, and I will join them in the fight for Medicare for All. - Fight Fascism & Hold ICE Accountable The actions of the Trump administration reveal the administration’s imperial and autocratic aspirations, but the American values ratified in the US Constitution and embraced by political and civil rights leaders throughout history oppose autocracy. We Americans have never perfectly executed the ideals stated in the preamble to the US Constitution, but we have always strived “to form a more perfect Union ... and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity…” Through ICE, the executive branch daily terrorizes immigrants and violates Americans' civil liberties. I will work limit ICE's budget and hold ICE accountable for its violations of Americans' civil rights.
- Fight for a $15 Federal Minimum Wage Compared to 55 years ago, American workers are compensated half as much for twice as much output. Simply to keep up with inflation, the federal minimum wage should be doubled. I adopted the fight for higher wages in 2016 when I supported Senator Sanders (I-VT) in his bid for President; a decade later, the minimum wage is still only $7.25 per hour. I believe that middle-class workers and white-collar professionals will benefit from a higher minimum as much as low-wage workers. This is a fight for everyone who punches a timecard. Hardworking Americans deserve better compensation for their efforts. In the US House, I will work to increase the federal minimum wage. I will fight for $15 per hour.
Increasing the Federal Minimum Wage
Holding the Trump Administration Accountable for Infringing on Civil Rights
Stricter Environmental Safety Standards
Incentivizing Green Technology to Create Ecologically Sustainable Careers
Reducing the Authority and Financial Resources of Immigration and Customs Enforcement
