- I've not only put myself in the ring of elections, I've organized marches and been on the ground working to end injustices.
- I'm youthful. A benefit of my youth is that I'm an optimist. I'm not cynical enough to know what can't be done. I have faith that we can achieve a better outcome.
- I believe that we can build bridges rather than destroy them. We can Unite rather than Divide while overcoming the calamities that we are currently facing.
All Americans, not just Oregonians are struggling to pay for health care, housing, education, and food. The cost of living is rising, and current wages are no longer sufficient for folks to sustain.
We have a mental health crisis, a drug epidemic, and a problematic prison system.
How is it that in the Land of the Free, we've incarcerated more people than any nation in the history of the world?
He's the guy that defends the hopeless and defenseless.
