My Top Issues
Affordable and accessible healthcare
We need Medicare for All/a single payer health care system. The number one cause of debt and loss of homes is the cost of health care. People who are sick should not have to lose their homes in order to get health care. People should not die, or suffer, because they can't afford health care.
Promoting renewable energy initiatives
We need a Green New Deal, creating jobs with livable incomes that invest in safe, environmentally responsible communities, affordable housing with solar, wind, and other safe energy sources, working to clean up the air and water, and creating green spaces.
Promoting renewable energy initiatives
Climate change has become climate disaster which is devastating communities, and costing lives. It's time we promote renewable energy such as solar and wind generated energy, reduce carbon emissions, stop our dependence on fossil fuels by building a nationwide public transportation system, and create green spaces .
