I'm not a politician. I'm a regular person running to represent regular Virginians. My goal is to take our party, and our country, back from the political and economic elites and return them to the people.
I believe in fighting for common sense progressive policies including preserving our democracy; protecting marginalized communities; safeguarding Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security; ensuring everyone has access to affordable healthcare; enshrining a woman's right to make their own reproductive healthcare choices; respecting our international allies; and reforming our tax code to ensure millionaires, billionaires, and corporations pay a fair share.- America has ignored its workers for too long. We need to enact a set of progressive policies that ensure working Americans are not left behind again. The minimum wage needs to be raised to $20 per hour. Credit card and student loan interest rates should be capped at no more than 10%. States must be incentivized to construct more affordable housing. And corporations need to be held responsible for price gouging and excessive rent increases.
- Healthcare costs are out of control and our profit-first system benefits nobody except the corporations and their shareholders. We need to adopt a system where unexpected illnesses don't lead to bankruptcy or force people to skip necessary medical care because of the cost. When I am elected, I will work with my fellow progressives to reform our healthcare system to lower costs. In addition to reducing costs, we also need to expand access to primary care in rural areas and after hours care in all areas. We need to incentivize medical professionals to serve where the need is the greatest. I believe we can do this by first committing to build hospitals, clinics, and urgent care facilities where we currently have none.
- I am horrified at the current administration's treatment of minorities, marginalized communities, and non-Christians. Diversity has always made our nation stronger and should be encouraged. We must stop punishing people for who they love, how they look, what they believe, or how they feel. We must work to enshrine the rights of all ethnicities, religions, sexual orientations, and gender identities to freely live their lives to the fullest.
An elected official also has to understand that they have a responsibility to serve their constituents and their country, not themselves. No Senator should be working to enrich themselves at the expense of serving the public.
I'm a dedicated worker.
I love to read.
On the other hand, when things are no longer working the way they should, a fresh set of eyes and different perspectives can be useful.
