For over 30 years, Glenn worked as a television news producer, reporter and anchor, where he led investigations that exposed criminal organizations, protected children, and held the powerful accountable.

Today, Glenn leads a financial services company that helps working people plan for retirement and get the healthcare they need without going broke. That experience has made it clear: the system is rigged in favor of the wealthy and well-connected, while working families are left behind. He’s watched too many people do everything right—work hard, save what they can—only to fall further behind because politicians put special interests first.

I support comprehensive immigration reform that secures our borders while creating a fair, orderly, and humane immigration system. In Congress, I will work to pass legislation that provides a pathway to citizenship for DREAMers and long-term law-abiding residents, modernizes the legal immigration system to reduce backlogs, increases the number of immigration judges to speed legitimate asylum claims, and strengthens border security by focusing resources on fentanyl trafficking, human trafficking, and violent criminal organizations rather than mass workplace raids. I also support ending the misuse of private detention centers, ensuring due process, and protecting Temporary Protected Status for people fleeing war or natural disasters. Our immigration system should reflect both the rule of law and America's values.

Yes. Climate change is already increasing costs for families, businesses, and taxpayers through stronger storms, flooding, wildfires, rising insurance premiums, crop losses, and damage to infrastructure. In Congress, I will support investments in resilient infrastructure, strengthen flood mitigation and coastal restoration, expand clean energy and energy efficiency, and protect programs that help communities prepare for climate impacts. These investments reduce long-term costs, create jobs, and help protect our economy from increasingly expensive climate-related disasters.

1. Lower the Cost of Living Through Universal Healthcare: Healthcare costs are one of the biggest financial burdens facing American families. I will work to establish universal healthcare so everyone has access to affordable care regardless of income or employment. I also support allowing Medicare to negotiate more prescription drug prices, capping out-of-pocket costs, and preventing medical debt from pushing families into financial hardship. Lower healthcare costs mean more money in working families' pockets. 2. End the Influence of Big Money in Politics: ·Our government cannot effectively address the challenges facing working families while billionaires and special interests dominate our elections. I will support legislation to overturn Citizens United, require full disclosure of political spending, strengthen campaign finance laws, and expand public financing of federal campaigns. Congress should answer to voters—not wealthy donors and corporate interests.

For more than 30 years as a journalist, I saw firsthand why freedom of speech and a free press are essential to a healthy democracy. The First Amendment protects every American's right to speak, criticize the government, worship freely, assemble peacefully, and hold those in power accountable without fear of censorship or retaliation. It protects ideas we agree with and those we don't. As a member of Congress, I will defend those constitutional rights and oppose efforts by any administration to silence journalists, punish political opponents, or interfere with the public's right to know. Democracy cannot survive without the free exchange of ideas and facts.

If such a law were enacted, I would work to repeal it. Until then, I would support federal funding to help citizens obtain required documents at little or no cost, establish a simple process for replacing lost birth and marriage certificates, require states to accept a broad range of government records to verify citizenship, and ensure that married women, seniors, military members, rural residents, people with disabilities, and low-income Americans are not disenfranchised because of paperwork. Every eligible citizen should be able to exercise the fundamental right to vote.

Education is primarily a state and local responsibility, but the federal government has an essential role in ensuring every child has an equal opportunity to succeed. I support expanding access to high-quality early childhood education, fully funding programs that serve disadvantaged students and children with disabilities, investing in public schools and teacher recruitment, and enforcing civil rights protections. I oppose diverting public education funds to private school voucher programs. For higher education, Congress should partner with states to make tuition-free attendance at public colleges and universities a reality, expand Pell Grants, strengthen career and technical education, and substantially reduce or eliminate the crushing burden of student loan debt. In the richest nation on earth, higher education should be an opportunity—not a lifetime of debt.
