| Collapse all
- Affordability is a serious issue. Healthcare and housing are human rights. I will fight for healthcare for all and better access to housing for everyone especially the low-income families.
- Immigration reform is a must. We need to start by abolishing ICE and providing clearer and better pathways to citizenship. Border protection should be done in humane and just way.
- Protect workers better. Expansion of FMLA coverage and stronger safety policies for every worker in every industry.
