Issues

Here is where I stand:

Voting Rights: As a nation governed by the people, for the people, we must actively pursue a more engaged and involved electorate and remove all barriers in the voting process. This includes dismantling systems and schemes that seek to suppress voting power based on an individual’s race, gender, or economic standing.

Education: Every child deserves to have access to a free, equitable, and excellent education. I support raising teacher pay, universal childcare and Pre-K programs, increasing representation and accountability for charter providers, and joining efforts between the Department of Justice and Department of Education to dismantle the school to prison pipeline.

Palestine: I endorse a pathway to self-determination for the Palestinian people and advocate that all funding from the United States align with domestic and international law, prioritizing the best interests of both the American and Palestinian populations as well as the preservation of liberty, justice, and human life.

Veteran Affairs: My entire military career has occurred during the longest period of war in our country’s history. Those wars, as well as previous ones, have taken a tremendous toll on our country and those in service to it. We owe them all. I will fight for enhancements to veteran’s services for healthcare, specifically in the areas of mental health and conditions related to burn pits in Iraq and Afghanistan. I will also work to define ‘supporting our troops’ as sustained compensation and support for our service members, veterans, and their families--not unchecked defense contractor spending.

2nd Amendment: As a military reservist, gun owner, and concealed carry permit holder, I firmly uphold the right protected in our Bill of Rights, understanding its profound significance, particularly in the military where rigorous training and certification are essential for weapon use; thus, I advocate for the same meticulous care to be applied in our society. Deaths resulting from firearm misuse have significantly contributed to the overall mortality rate in America and the number one cause of mortality in minors. That is why I support common sense gun legislation, such as closing gun show loopholes and universal background checks, supporting red flag laws, waiting periods, and better training for firearms.

Health Care: Health care is a human right, which is why I will advocate for a universal healthcare system that ensures equal access to all. I am firmly against any attempts to cut or undermine either Medicare or Social Security.

Abortion: Every person should have the autonomy to make their own reproductive choices, free from government interference or coercion. I support Planned Parenthood and all organizations which ensure reproductive justice and full access to healthcare for all women.

Environment: We must prioritize environmental protection, recognizing its direct influence on our health and livelihoods. I will actively advocate for carbon emission reduction and the transition to 100% clean and renewable energy sources, while ensuring that our infrastructure, including bridges, roads, and homes, minimizes its impact on the environment.

Economic Justice: The bedrock of our nation lies in its people, and it's imperative to uphold this foundation by ensuring every individual enjoys a basic standard of living. Therefore, economic justice forms the cornerstone of our platform. We must break free from the cycle of poverty and foster an economy of self-determination across all levels. Achieving this involves guaranteeing a livable wage, safe working conditions, and the unrestricted right to organize across all sectors of our economy. Moreover, nurturing entrepreneurship and providing workforce training for future-oriented jobs are essential for maintaining our city's competitiveness and cultivating the inclusive economy we aspire to.

Equal Rights for All: The strength of America is its diversity but that has long been hampered by a history of exploitation and exclusion. As I have always done, I will fight for and work to serve those who are voiceless and powerless, until we recognize the inalienable rights of all people.

BIPOC: As the representative of a majority African-American district, I will advocate for true protection under the law and restorative legislation for Black, Indigenous, and people of color through industrial, educational, and economic advancement.

LGBTQIA2S+: I stand and support LGBTQIA2S+ individuals and believe that members of the community should be protected, recognized, and celebrated.

2nd Amendment: As a military reservist, gun owner, and concealed carry permit holder, I respect the Second Amendment.
