A Fighter for the Majority of Americans.

Housing-Gas-Groceries-EVERYTHING costs too much. It's not just inflation, it's corporate greed. A handful of companies control every key aspect of life, from birth through death. Laws to protect us from price fixing and monopolies have not been enforced. Mutual funds own every hospital, every optometrist, even every funeral home.

Oil companies get massive tax breaks, but still gas and energy prices skyrocket. Inflation is killing our quality of life. Congress should have acted to protect families, but deferred to the corporate donors instead.

The wealthy MUST contribute their fair share and companies MUST respect workers with policies including paid family leave and a livable salary. It's time for the sweetheart relationship between career politicians and the Big Money interests to end now.

And when it comes to home insurance in Florida, and other climate vulnerable states, we should DRAMATICALLY lower rates with a federal reinsurance program.

NOTHING makes me more angry than when someone says "The government is paying for social security for seniors." NO, IT'S NOT; SENIORS PAID THEIR WHOLE LIVES FOR THIS — IT'S THEIR MONEY!

Let's FINALLY pass legislation that ENSURES SENIORS WILL ALWAYS GET THEIR SOCIAL SECURITY so career politicians can stop fear-mongering them every year to get votes.

And while we're at it, can we provide a REAL cost-of-living increase for seniors? The increase doesn't ever include what seniors actually need — it is swallowed by deduction increases for healthcare, so they end up with less to live on.

Can we eliminate taxes on social security?

And when it comes to our Veterans, can we fund services and protect them like they did us?

As a mom and a woman in the 21st Century in America, I can't believe we even have to fight for this. Democrats have been screaming for years that Republicans wanted to end Roe v. wade — and yet when they controlled the White House and both branches of Congress they did NOTHING to enact a law protecting that right!

That's how you know we MUST elect new Democrats to replace the career Democratic politicians.

We are the richest country in the world and spend the most on healthcare. So why is it that many can't afford it and the number one cause of bankruptcy in America is healthcare? Is ANYTHING more important than our health?

Career politicians have had YEARS to fix this, but again, corporate donors love it the way it is: for profit and wildly expensive. EVERYONE IN AMERICA SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE REGARDLESS OF INCOME.

I'll be one of the NEW Democrats who is NOT bought by the industry to help fix this once and for all.

Diversity is our strength but, in recent years, we have all watched as our precious Black-Hispanic-Jewish-LGBTQ+ communities have been targeted by Republican politicians and hate groups and even lost rights that EVERYONE should enjoy.

Our founding document, The Declaration of Independence, states it perfectly: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

We must live up to that promise as well as protect the RIGHT TO PEACEFULLY PROTEST.

Is it lost on ANYONE that we need updates to our political system? Does ANYONE (outside of career politicians and connected mega money special interests) believe it's not a good idea to have term limits?

Should Supreme Court Justices be appointed for life with no accountability (life expectancy in 1776 was 35 years old)? Our country MUST hold true to our core beliefs while making some accommodations as we evolve. And we do evolve; in the beginning only white male landowners could vote but that was thankfully changed.

So updates that benefit the people are important advancements needed for a healthy democracy. We must overturn Citizens United that allows unlimited corporate and PAC contributions, ban stock trading by members of congress, and demand independent redistricting commissions draw fair maps.

Returning the government to our citizens from the hands of corporate oligarchs is a priority that can not wait.

If I was part of a hard working law abiding immigrant family, I'd be terrified. If I was a Dreamer who had been promised FOR DECADES I'd be recognized as a US citizen I would not believe anything a career politician ever said again.

Who can see the mother being ripped from her children's arms or landscapers being arrested as they cut grass and think "This is great, this is what I voted for." We must enforce our border and deport violent criminals to protect our citizens.

But THIS is NOT that. This is cruel and hurts all of us. From caregivers to roofers to farmworkers, we need immigrants to help our economy thrive.

And Dreamers, I can't answer why you haven't been protected yet. But I promise you I will never stop demanding you receive the citizenship you were promised decades ago. Enact fair and well vetted immigration reform NOW, it will benefit us all.

There is a famous saying: dogs don't use the bathroom where they sleep, so why would anyone be allowed to dump hazardous chemicals onto the land and water we call home?

The issue is always painted as a choice between allowing pollution or regulation of industries that produce things we all need including energy. We CAN find a happy medium realizing that there is NO second chance to refreeze the polar icecaps or to ease global temperatures once the ozone layer is gone.

A national effort to embrace and expand renewable energy is in our DNA and America can and should lead the world in order to reverse climate damage. Whether you believe in climate change or not, the end result will be air, cleaner water, healthy oceans and a lasting place to live. Who's corrupt enough to not want that?

My office will be transparent and REACHABLE. When you have a concern, I'll LISTEN! My work comes from the top down — YOU being the top. And I'll act!

My loyalty is to no business, or PAC or Political Party. My loyalty is to YOU, PERIOD.

I know I just said what matters to you is my priority but it's so important I want to repeat it. For 14 years you trusted Congresswoman Lois Frankel to protect your rights and quality of life.

And in those 14 years she authored and passed ZERO bills that have ANYTHING to do with your quality of life. Four of her bills were for ceremonial plaques on buildings, and I'm not kidding.

We live in serious times; we need serious leadership. I would appreciate your vote, and my door will ALWAYS be open.
