Key Messages

To read this candidate's full survey responses, click here.

---

I have faced adversity my entire life and refused to be defined by it. As an infant I survived spinal meningitis after doctors said I might not live or could suffer permanent brain damage. As a student I overcame bullying and constant school changes, even enrolling in independent college courses to earn enough credits to graduate on time. As an adult I faced personal struggles, including postpartum depression and domestic abuse, and I rebuilt my life through music and advocacy. I became a pioneering Southern female musical artistivist and later a human rights advocate challenging voter disenfranchisement laws that affect hundreds of thousands of Americans. I am an overcomer, and I am running to represent people who feel forgotten.

---

I believe in equal justice under the law. Our Constitution promises fairness, yet millions of Americans live under a system where justice depends on power and privilege. Today our nation faces a contradiction: a president can be convicted of a felony and still seek the highest office, while citizens in states like mine can lose their right to vote because of past convictions and can't find housing or employment. I live that reality. I cannot cast a ballot, yet people can still vote for me. That truth shows democracy belongs to the people—not gatekeepers. My campaign challenges systems that silence voices and proves that redemption, accountability, and equal treatment must apply to everyone. Every vote should count.

---

I believe in equal opportunities under the law. Our Constitution promises fairness, yet millions live under a system where justice depends on political affiliation. That's insanity to choose from the lesser of 2 evils. That contradiction shows democracy does not belongs to the people, but to political gatekeepers. My campaign is about hope, equal opportunity, and holding elected officials accountable when they break their promises. For too long, leaders claim to seek peace while dragging us into conflicts abroad. It’s time to stop choosing sides between parties and start choosing leadership serves all Americans. Even George Washington warned against partisan politics he was an independent too! Its time we send them all home.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Pamela Moses (Independent)

I am deeply committed to bold criminal justice reform that balances accountability with true redemption and second chances. I believe in transformative economic development that creates real opportunity in every community, modern and reliable transportation that connects people to jobs, and strong support for agriculture that protects our farmers and food security. I am passionate about strengthening education and expanding access to quality healthcare so families and communities can thrive. Above all, I fight for genuine equal opportunity—so every person, regardless of background or past, has the dignity, access, and freedom to fully participate in our economy, our communities, and our democracy.

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

• Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
• Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
• Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.
• Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.
