After 33 years of the same representation in Congress, Mississippians in this district are still plagued by persistent poverty, brain drain, the maternal mortality crisis, and a lack of good paying jobs. I am running to fight against these issues that we face every day and to bring enduring prosperity to the district.
I served for nearly 5 years in Congress as senior counsel to Senator Elizabeth Warren and chief counsel to Democratic Leader Charles E. Schumer. I was the top lawyer for Senate leadership, so I know how Congress works already and will be able to hit the ground running on Day 1.
I support Medicare for All. However, specifically as a Mississippian, I will fight to end the maternal mortality crisis in our state. Pregnancy should not be a death sentence to women in Mississippi, and this is an emergency that Washington can no longer ignore. I will work to increase funding for rural hospitals, access to OB/GYNs and doulas, and coverage for prenatal and postpartum services.
Our immigration system should prioritize fairness and justice, not punitive tactics that tear families apart or erode trust between federal agents and the public. I will fight to hold I.C.E. and the Department of Homeland Security accountable for their crimes and their blatant violations of Americans' constitutional rights.
The United States should not unconditionally support any foreign nation. As a member of Congress, I will not support funding endless wars, nor will I support countries committing war crimes, genocide, or other violations of international law.
