Our economy should work for everyone—not just the wealthy and powerful. For decades, wages have stagnated while the costs of housing, healthcare, childcare, and education have soared. Meanwhile, corporations and billionaires have benefited from tax breaks and policies that leave working families struggling to make ends meet. It’s time to level the playing field and ensure every American has the opportunity to succeed. Read More

Being fiscally responsible doesn’t mean slashing programs that families depend on—it means making smart investments in our future while ensuring everyone pays their fair share.

A fair tax system is about more than numbers—it’s about values.

Immigration has always been central to America’s identity as a land of opportunity, but it must be managed in a way that respects both our values and our laws.

My approach reflects the balanced philosophy that we are a nation of immigrants, but also a nation of laws. Read More

Investing in education is one of the smartest investments we can make as a country. By fully funding public schools, raising teacher pay, making higher education affordable, and expanding opportunities through trade schools and vocational training, we can create an education system that works for everyone—not just a privileged few.

Public safety isn’t just about reacting to crime—it’s about preventing it by addressing root causes and building trust between law enforcement and communities.

National security isn’t just about military strength—it’s about smart, strategic leadership that builds strong alliances abroad while addressing threats here at home. A strong defense is essential, but we cannot rely on force alone to keep our country safe. Diplomacy, cooperation, and preparation are just as important in ensuring our security in an increasingly complex world. Read More
