Issue Position: Economic Justice Makes Us Healthier, Safer, and Makes Our Community Fairer for Everyone

Issue Position

Securing a $15 minimum wage: I'll fight for a $15 minimum wage that gives our workers the ability to provide for their families. I don't just want to create jobs, I want to create living wage jobs.

Standing up for Unions: I'll protect our unions, the organizations that built our middle class and are on the front lines of the fight against the Republicans and their billionaire friends.

Preventing Cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid: The Republicans are eager to cut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid to pay for their tax cuts for the rich, and we can't let them get away with it.

Promoting Homeownership: I will take on the Wall Street banks that discriminate against our families and defraud us, and provide a pathway to homeownership so more of our families can have their own piece of the American Dream.
Ending Corporate Welfare: We must stop tax giveaways to rich corporations and developers while our schools are crumbling and people are losing their homes.

Equal Pay for Equal Work: Women deserve equal pay for equal work, and I'll fight to end wage discrimination and close the pay gap.

Debt-Free College and Vocational Training: The cost of higher education is a major barrier for many people, and we must make public colleges, universities, and trade schools tuition free for working families.

Overturning Citizens United and Restoring the Voting Rights Act: Big money has hijacked our politics and we must overturn Citizens United to ensure all of our voices are heard. We must also restore the Voting Rights Act and fight back against voter suppression that targets minorities and tries to silence us.
