Real solutions for working families. No corporate PACs. No empty promises. Just a commitment to fight for the people of Maryland's 3rd District.
I support Medicare for All because healthcare is a human right, not a privilege tied to your job or your bank account. I support the Medicare for All Act (H.R. 3069 / S. 1129), sponsored by Rep. Pramila Jayapal and Sen. Bernie Sanders, which would establish a single-payer national health insurance system covering every U.S. resident.
I support the Ultra-Millionaire Tax and the Billionaires Income Tax because the richest Americans pay a lower effective rate than nurses and teachers, and that's indefensible. I support Senator Warren's wealth tax legislation and closing the loopholes that let billionaires pay less than their secretaries.
I support the PRO Act (H.R. 20) and a $25 federal minimum wage because no one working full time should live in poverty. The PRO Act is the most significant labor legislation since the New Deal — it would transform the balance of power between workers and corporations.
I support banning corporations from using AI to replace workers or from firing workers simply to boost shareholder value. Technology should make workers' lives easier, not make workers disposable.
I support overturning Citizens United through a constitutional amendment because corporations are not people and money is not speech. Our democracy should not be for sale to the highest bidder.
I support banning members of Congress from owning, trading, or holding individual stocks because lawmakers should not profit from the laws they write. That includes prohibiting participation in online prediction markets and any promotion of those platforms.
I oppose unconditional military aid to Israel and will never take AIPAC money, because foreign lobbying arms should not be writing American foreign policy. Israel is committing a genocide, and the United States is complicit in every bomb we send.
I support the right to bear arms, and do not support a ban on 'assault rifles' because that term is overly broad and has unclear definitions. I do support universal background checks and red flag laws for domestic abusers.
I support a moratorium on data centers and I oppose the carve-outs that let AI data centers skip the environmental reviews every other major facility has to complete. Your electric bill shouldn't subsidize a tech billionaire's server farm.
I support redirecting police budgets toward community services because militarizing local police departments doesn't make communities safer. That means investing in mental health responders, housing, education, and violence prevention programs.
I support expanding and rebalancing the Supreme Court because the current Court has shown a dangerous bias toward executive power and against the rights of the people. The Court's legitimacy has been stolen through norm-breaking and outright corruption.
I support abolishing ICE because the agency is beyond reform after two decades of family separations, deaths in detention, and raids that terrorize entire communities. No human being is illegal.
I oppose war with Iran and any military strike that hasn't been authorized by Congress, because the Constitution gives that power to Congress alone. We have tried endless war in the Middle East for 25 years, and the only winners have been defense contractors.
I support Ukraine and support bringing the war to an end, because that is the will of the Ukrainian people. The United States should back a negotiated settlement that protects Ukrainian sovereignty, ends the killing, and stops the bleeding of resources that defense contractors are profiting from on both sides of the Atlantic.
I support the Green New Deal because climate action and good union jobs are not in conflict, they go together. There are more jobs to do than there are people, and we can rebuild this nation by investing in infrastructure projects all over the country.
I support codifying the right to abortion into federal law through the Women's Health Protection Act because reproductive freedom is a basic human right. The government has no place in personal medical decisions — period.
I support free public college, free community college and trade school, and canceling the $1.7 trillion in student debt because education should be a right, not a debt sentence. Public education is the foundation of democracy and opportunity.
I support the Homes for All Act and the Green New Deal for Public Housing Act because housing is a human right, not a Wall Street asset class. We need to build 1.3 million permanently affordable homes and treat housing as infrastructure, not speculation.
I support universal free school breakfast and lunch for every student because no child should be hungry in the richest country on earth, and no kid should be shamed at the lunch line for what their parents earn. Hungry children can't learn.
I support ending the Cuba embargo because sixty years of failed policy is enough, and starving 11 million people is not a foreign policy. I also support removing Cuba from the State Sponsors of Terrorism list and restoring full diplomatic and travel relations.
I support maintaining the status quo in Taiwan and peaceful diplomatic relations with China because our economies are deeply intertwined and the real threats we face, like climate change and pandemics, require cooperation rather than confrontation. I oppose reckless provocations that risk war and reject the new Cold War rhetoric that harms working people in both countries.
I support cutting the military budget by 50% and reinvesting that money at home because 750 bases in 80 countries hasn't made us safer, it's just made defense contractors richer. Every bomb overseas is a school not built here.
I support banning private prisons, detention centers, and prison labor for profit because no corporation should make money off locking people in cages. The U.S. incarcerates more people than any nation on earth — that's not justice, that's an industry.
I support legalizing marijuana federally and ending the failed war on drugs. The war on drugs was never about drugs — it was about criminalizing Black and brown communities, and it's time to undo the damage.
I support passing the Equality Act and protecting access to gender-affirming healthcare because trans rights are human rights, and using vulnerable kids as political pawns is shameful. The Equality Act would amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to explicitly prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
I support reparations for Black Americans because you cannot build 250 years of free labor into the foundation of an economy and then pretend the debt has been paid. I support H.R. 40 and the work of the Commission to Study Reparation Proposals.
I support returning federal lands to tribal nations where possible, funding the Land Back movement, and respecting tribal sovereignty over natural resources. The treaties this country signed are legally binding, and it's past time we honored them.
I support a permanent ban on drilling, mining, and fossil fuel extraction in national parks, wildlife refuges, and protected conservation areas. No new pipelines through protected ecosystems. Public lands belong to the public, not to oil and gas companies.
