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.

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!
