I will use every lever at my disposal to push forward my agenda to get us healthcare and get money out of politics - and I’m willing to take over the Democratic Caucus to do so.

When Democrats retake the House next year then 25 motivated progressives could refuse to vote for the speaker unless they pass our agenda in full.

If Congress is too far gone to succumb to reason, then I’ll spend my entire tenure calling out corporate politicians, building working-class coalitions, and passing policies that help the American people the old-fashioned way.

I’m committed to combating antisemitism, Islamophobia, and anti-Palestinian discrimination and violence in all its forms. I support the protection of First Amendment rights for protestors, and advancement of policies rooted in human dignity and international law. I support the Palestinian struggle against Israeli occupation and their fight for equal rights and self-determination. I call for a U.S. arms embargo on Israel, an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza and the West Bank, full restoration of humanitarian aid to Gaza, and an end to Israel’s illegal occupation and settlement expansion project. 

Elected officials of the United States have a moral obligation to use all diplomatic means available to stop the ongoing genocide and forced-famine in Gaza.

…are human rights.

The personal healthcare guarantee in my Working Families Bill of Rights restores and reinforces the privacy protections of Roe v Wade. For all of us in general, that means our private medical information is ours - that includes what genitals we have or what configurations our chromosomes are in.

The transphobic bathroom bills across the country are already illegal, but having full medical privacy would mean that any law like them would be unenforceable. Like the regressive sodomy laws of the past, these laws will be seen as illegally intrusive.

The current generation is the first in history to be earning less than their parents at the same time in their lives.

Americans in their 20s and 30s are saddled with more debt, higher rent, and more expensive education than any previous generation. It’s time to give regular Americans the kind of break that billionaires have been getting for decades.

It will increase spending in the economy as tens of millions of borrowers will have $270 more dollars per month they can spend in our economy.

I refuse to take funds from AIPAC or related organizations.

Sunshine is the best medicine for corruption. We need to require transparency from dark money organizations like AIPAC.

We need to get money out of politics, but until we can we must use the tools we have available to combat it. We must force foreign-influence PACs to register as foreign agents, which are under much more scrutiny even in the current system.

I support term limits for every branch of government - I think government should be more accessible to people who have the everyday lived experience of their district and turnover in representation is healthy.

Getting multi-decade, corrupt incumbents out of office is a necessity for the health of our democracy.

The tools of presidential overreach need to be taken away from the office. The Alien Enemies Act, the Insurrection Act, and the Tariff power must all be repealed.

Unequivocally, we need to own our data, not big tech companies.

We need to model a national law on the protections already available in California - we must stop companies from collecting, collating, and selling our data without our approval.

We must be able to know what data a company has on us, and be able to demand it be deleted.

Collective bargaining means we all get to rise together, even if you don’t have a union yourself.

Unions negotiating for higher wages, better working conditions, and fair hours incentivize other business to pay fairly and provide benefits because the alternative is that their business could unionize.

It wasn’t that long ago that companies were hiring mercenaries to go to war with their own employees to stop unionization.

Next time you get a weekend off, understand that union workers fought and died in the streets so you could have those two days off.

And if you don’t have two days off, maybe you should learn how to start a union.
