Why I’m running
Strong Schools
Strong schools build strong communities. I’m committed to raising the Basic Allotment, fully funding Special Education, stabilizing teacher pay, expanding early childhood learning, and ensuring every campus has the mental-health staff and support our students deserve.
Fair Wages, Good Jobs, & Worker Protections
Hard work should lead to stability and a fair wage. I’m committed to raising the minimum wage, stopping wage theft, expanding job-training and apprenticeship programs, and ensuring corporate incentives create real, high-quality jobs for our community.
Affordable and Stable Housing
Affordable, accessible healthcare is a basic right. I’m committed to expanding Medicaid, extending postpartum care, strengthening neighborhood clinics, addressing mental health, and ending predatory medical-debt practices that push families into crisis.
Dignity, Stability, & Security for Families
Every family deserves dignity, safety, and stability — regardless of birthplace or status. I’m committed to strengthening protections for immigrant and mixed-status families, expanding legal resources, ensuring safe access to education and healthcare, preventing family separations, and supporting fair pathways to residency and citizenship.
Accessible Healthcare
Stable homes build strong communities. I’m committed to protecting renters, increasing transparency, curbing predatory landlords, expanding homeownership, and delivering real property tax relief for working families.
Thriving Neighborhoods
Safe, thriving neighborhoods come from investment, not neglect. I’m committed to improving sidewalks, lighting, drainage, broadband, parks, transit, youth programs, violence-interruption efforts, and small-business corridors so families and communities can truly flourish.
