Affordability The number one thing I hear from folks is how expensive life is. People can’t keep up with groceries, rent, healthcare, childcare, or utility bills. Wages aren’t keeping up, and too many are working harder than ever for too little. Healthcare: Restore Medicaid cuts and provide Medicare for All. Housing: Build more market-rate homes, ban private equity from driving up costs, and extend VA-style home loans to essential workers. Childcare: Repeal Headstart cuts, expand subsidies and publicly funded preschool. Utilities: Invest in renewables, nuclear, and natural gas, and stop utility price-gouging. Retirement & Goods: Protect Social Security, strengthen unions, and enforce antitrust rules to stop price-gouging.

---

Washington is a dumpster fire Washington’s broken, and working people are the ones getting burned. Billionaires and big corporations run the show while wages stay flat and costs keep climbing. I’ve lived a working-class life. there was a time a blue-collar job could support a family. it doesn’t anymore. We need to take money out of politics, end stock trading in Congress, enforce term limits, and make the wealthy pay their fair share. I know the struggle, and I’m running to fight for working families and get Washington working for us again.

One Big Beautiful Bill The Big Beautiful Bill was the biggest cut to benefits in U.S. history. Head Start, SNAP, Medicaid, Medicare all got slashed, and Ryan Mackenzie’s vote made it happen. I know how important these programs because I grew up on Head Start and SNAP. My campaign will hold him accountable, fight to repeal these cuts, and push policies that actually help working families, like paid family leave, public pre-K, and Medicare for All. Working people deserve a government that has their back and they deserve to see Ryan Mackenzie kicked out of office for all the wrong he's done.

Key Messages

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

---

I'm going to fight for economic change. To build an economy where working families like the one I grew up in can afford housing, groceries and utilities, and have a pathway to real prosperity. That includes supporting small businesses so they thrive and flourish, thereby providing family-sustaining jobs. It also includes supporting career and technical training and incentivizing good-paying manufacturing jobs.

---

I'm going to fight for our bodies, for affordable energy, and for the American Dream. I’m running to protect our right to choose what to do with our own bodies. I will push for a resilient energy sector leading to job opportunities while ensuring that everyday residents can afford their energy bills. I will never stop fighting against shameful policies that tear away at the American Dream, make us less free, and make life harder for every single American.

---

I'm going to stand up to extremist Republicans. I will not stand by as Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Ryan Mackenzie rip away healthcare from millions of Americans and take food off families’ tables to give trillions in tax cuts to their billionaire donors. I’m blessed to be living my American Dream, and I have always tried to pay it forward every day to help families living on the economic edge not just get by, but to thrive.

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.
• 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.
