I believe we must build an economy that works for working people. That means creating good-paying jobs, raising wages, protecting consumers, and investing in rural & under-served communities. I support expanding tax relief like the Earned Income Tax Credits and Child Tax Credits, lowering costs for families, protecting fair markets, and ensuring everyone regardless of zip code, has access to broadband and quality infrastructure.
I believe we can enforce our immigration laws while upholding the Constitution and employ basic human dignity. Congress must provide strong oversight to ensure that ICE and DHS operate within the law, respect due process, and treat people humanely. I support comprehensive immigration reform that includes smart border security, commonsense enforcement, and maintain a pathway to citizenship, while protecting Dreamers and those with temporary protected status.
I believe the federal government has a responsibility to protect the health of the American people. That means investing in public health infrastructure, supporting agencies like the CDC and NIH, and ensuring we are prepared to respond quickly to emerging threats. I support expanding access to affordable healthcare, strengthening community health centers, and relying on science-based approaches to prevent and respond to epidemics.
I believe Congress must uphold its constitutional responsibility when it comes to matters of war and peace. Any military action against Iran should be authorized by Congress. We must ensure that decisions of this magnitude are carefully considered, based on clear evidence, and focused on protecting American lives while avoiding unnecessary conflict.

I will strengthen the US economy by cutting wasteful federal spending, lowering the cost of doing business, bringing manufacturing and supply chains back to America, expanding trade schools, apprenticeships, and HBCUs to workforce pipelines, and making it easy for small businesses to hire and compete.
Congress has a responsibility to ensure that every federal agency, including ICE, follows the law. That means strong oversight, real transparency, and firm accountability, while also making sure due process protections are respected. We can secure our borders and uphold the Constitution at the same time. Key to this is ending partisan postering.
The US must be ready before a crisis becomes a catastrophe. That means better disease surveillance, stronger local health departments, reliable stockpiles of medicine and protective equipment, faster vaccine and treatment development, COVID taught us the importance of that, and honest communication with the public. Preparedness is not panic—it is responsible leadership.
Every dollar we spend overseas is a dollar we’re not investing here at home. Congress has a responsibility to make sure any military action is necessary, limited, and clearly defined—because working families shouldn’t have to carry the cost of unclear missions and endless conflicts.
