Statement: Congress needs Representatives who are progressive and will
put people first, not corporations which is why we must End Citizens United. America prospers when
its people prosper. Incumbents have done a poor job at that.
As a woman, I have total say over my body, want to be paid
a full dollar, and be protected from all forms of discrimination, domination,
and persecution. As the wife of a
Vietnam Veteran, mom of an Iraq Veteran, and having a son currently serving, I
know the cost of war and the pain families endure. I will take care of
veteran's and families and I will fight against war until all else has failed.
The true cost of war surpasses the war itself.
Homeless is not acceptable, mental health is a real problem,
drug addiction laws need changing, our senior's and families must not have to
endure home loss due to unscrupulous banks and mortgage companies. Seniors cola needs to be calculated on current
prices, not old standards which Congress continues to do.
All children need early childhood education, K-12, and secondary
education for preparation in a global economy in every Zip code without lifetime debt. Food, clothing, shelter, medical
and dental are basic needs. Program development will move people from state dependent
to self-sufficient. Equal pay for equal work! An equitable tax structure that
allows small businesses to grow! Creating a green infrastructure for a safe
environment and promoting union apprenticeship programs. We need $15 an hour
now.
Racial injustice,
high school to prison pipeline, humane immigration and criminal justice need
reform now!
I promise to represent the people and stand for
the people with honesty, integrity, and an open door policy. My staff and I
will be available to you. I ask for your Vote!.
Thank you!
