Transportation and infrastructure
Candidate positionUnlike our opponent, we accept no money from the AI data center lobby. Data centers pose a known risk to people and the environment. They put a strain on our power grid, driving up rates and they consume massive amounts of water. I have been in discussion with gubernatorial candidate Andy Ellis (MD) to develop a strong platform regarding data centers. I don’t believe that we can entrust trillion dollar corporations, that place profit over everything, to responsibly build this infrastructure. The only way we might be able to ensure data centers are built properly is if they are democratically and publicly owned. Therefore my campaign is calling for a ban on all privately built data centers.

Housing, homelessness, addiction, and recovery
Candidate positionI view helping our houseless neighbors as a moral obligation, a matter of social justice, and a matter of good politics. I view enforced homelessness as a societal failing and a crime against humanity. I believe that no one deserves to be deprived of basic human necessities. I believe that homelessness as an involuntary condition must be abolished.

Government ethics, accountability, and elections
Candidate positionWe’ve had enough with corporate sellouts. We will always prioritize people and the planet over profits. Our office will take the concerns of environmentalists seriously, not just give it good lip service during the election cycle. We are prepared to work with advocates to draft legislation that creates and reinforces strong protections for our environment, our federal lands, and our forests. You can trust me to listen to our environmental advocates, because I am an environmental advocate!
