A NEW AMERICAN AGE OF PROSPERITY AND JUSTICE
Imagine an America free of GOP obstruction and unafraid to make bold change. If we meet this moment with the historic turnout it deserves and elect Democrats with guts, it will be a turning point for our country.
Democracy
Protecting our democracy has to be our top priority. Get money out of politics, end gerrymandering, end Citizens United, and make DC and Puerto Rico states.
The Courts
Democrats need the guts to tackle court reform. It’s not a question of IF, it’s a matter of HOW we expand the Court, enact a code of ethics, and impeach corrupt judges.
Taxes and Economy
Money is at the heart of the GOP’s abuses. Make the rich pay their fair share and invest in America. To do this, we’ll need to elect Dems who are loyal to voters, not corporate donors.
Green New Deal
The GOP’s greed has the globe heading for calamity. We’ll make historic investments that turn the environmental tide and create massive numbers of new, green jobs.
Waste and Corruption
As an entrepreneur, I’m obsessed with how every dollar is spent. I’ll be the same with your money in DC. Recover rampant COVID relief fraud funds, expand IRS funding to investigate wealthy tax cheats, and prohibit Congress from holding individual stocks.
Border
We should celebrate immigrants, not demonize them. Expand legal pathways to citizenship, provide drug-detecting technology at checkpoints, and fund a vastly more efficient processing process. We will take care of Dreamers at long last.
LGBTQ+
In 1990, I staged a highly successful program at Whitman College amplifying the voice of the LGBTQ community and pushed fraternities to use gender-neutral language for events. I will always fight for LGBTQ+ rights and protections.
Abortion and Women’s Rights
I have been a passionate activist for women’s rights for many years. It’s not just the right thing to do, it’s the smart thing to do for our country. We will codify Roe v Wade in the first days of a Democratic Congress.
Education
End teachers paying for students’ school supplies, slash college debt, and create price competition by accrediting alternative models and increasing cost transparency.
Israel and Palestine
The attack on Israel was horrific and we stand with our ally. That does not mean that we support the decision by Netanyahu to lay waste to Palestine. The US should make further support contingent upon clear plans to limit civilian casualties.
Medicare for All
I believe my mom might still be alive if the US had Medicare for All in her lifetime. The high costs and poor outcomes of our current system are an anchor for our economy and driving millions into bankruptcy. It’s time for a change.
Disinformation
Propaganda outlets like Fox News bet that defamation victims will settle due to lengthy appeals. Create a “public interest enhancement” that expedites appeals and allows for punitive damages. Hate and lies should not be a business model.
Ukraine
The current blockage of aid to Ukraine by the GOP is disgraceful and a boon to Putin. We know what appeasement of authoritarians leads to. Give Ukraine what they need, not just to survive, but to win.
“To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.”
