| Collapse all
Americans are hurting. Wages have not increased in relation to the cost of living. Groceries, gas, and rent have gone way up. We need to stop the profiteering of big business. I will advocate for rent stabilization, a measure aimed at eliminating private equity from the rental market. I will advocate for a living wage and the right of employees to unionize so as to offer more purchasing power to workers. I will push for a Federal Jobs Guarantee that will offer living wage jobs and a pathway to the middle class. I will advocate the use of the CPI-E index for Social Security recipients so that it reflects th higher cost of living index for the elderly. I will fight against privatization of Social Security.
Healthcare is a human right. We need a universal single payer nonprofit system like Medicare for All.

General election race ratings

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.[4]
- 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.[5][6][7]
