  • We need term limits, removal of dark money and lobbying from the system, non-partisan primaries or ranked-choice voting options, etc.

  • The federal budget rests more on the backs of individual earners than it does on the backs of wealthy corporations - it's due time that changes!

  • Universal Healthcare, Education Reform and expansion, Immigration Reform, Data Privacy

Let us come together and strive towards a more perfect union.
