Working Families and Small Businesses

Candidate position

People who work hard are still struggling to get by. That’s not right. Congress must act to address the rising cost of basic needs, such as health care, housing, child care, groceries, and utilities. We need to raise the minimum wage. And we must shift the tax base more to rich people and wealth corporations.

Supporting Public Education

Candidate position

Our public education system is the backbone of our country and, even though much of the policy decisions are made at the state level, Congress must do everything it can to support public education, teachers, and the physical infrastructure needed.

Building an Economy that works

Candidate position

Building an economy that works for all of us isn’t just a talking point, it should be a main consideration. Thinking about everyone’s role and considering local businesses, rather than just corporate interests, will allow us to grow collectively – rather than corporations extracting wealth from our community.

Protecting Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security

Candidate position

Crucial programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security benefits are increasingly used as political pawns by Republicans in Congress. This isn’t right, as these are oftentimes the only source of benefits for working folks or seniors in our communities. In Congress, I’ll fight against any attacks on these programs.

Expanding access to Affordable Healthcare

Candidate position

In the greatest country on Earth, nobody should struggle to get access to health care. I believe that it is our responsibility to provide a government option that can be used to support health care infrastructure in rural areas, and keep prices low for everyone. Simply put – nobody should have to worry about paying enormous medical bills and there should be a hospital within a short drive of every community.

Standing up for Every Community

Candidate position

Attacks on minority communities and our LGBTQ neighbors are outright un-American. I’ll fight for equal justice under the law for every single American, regardless of their background.

FIGHTING CORRUPTION

Candidate position

Congress needs to show up for the working class, rather than corporations and their special interest groups. We need to push to overturn Citizens United and do everything we can to reduce the influence of corporate political action committees (PACs) in our elections.

HELENE RECOVERY

Candidate position

As we continue our recovery following Helene, Congress must step up and prioritize the people and small businesses on the ground. We need a representative who will fight for the funding we were promised, rather than completely ignore the issue. We need fierce transparency from FEMA and Congress in where the funding goes and how much has been distributed.

Building an Economy that works

Candidate position

We need a Representative who will take action to bring back good-paying jobs, support our small businesses, and strengthen North Carolina’s agriculture – especially as farmers face increasingly unpredictable weather patterns due to climate change.

FIGHTING CORRUPTION

Candidate position

We must immediately ban Members of Congress from trading stocks. It’s long past time that we put political theater aside and work towards solutions for the issues facing our working class families and small businesses, along with the communities that rely on them.
