Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office? Everyone—regardless of income or background—deserves access to quality healthcare, affordable housing, strong public education, and the opportunity to achieve economic stability. These are basic foundations of a thriving society, not luxuries, and families should not be struggling to secure them in the 21st century. Artificial intelligence must strengthen the workforce—not replace it. We must invest in education, job training, and new career pathways so workers can thrive in a changing economy and ensure technology creates opportunity instead of widening inequality. America’s strength comes from its diversity and its promise of opportunity. We need humane, practical immigration reform that protects families, strengthens communities, and ensures that everyone has a fair chance to contribute, work, and succeed. What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? I am most passionate about policies that expand opportunity and stability for working families. This includes affordable housing, access to quality healthcare, strengthening public education, workforce development, and humane, practical immigration reform. I am especially focused on ensuring communities have the resources they need to thrive, preparing workers for the future of the economy, and protecting the dignity and rights of immigrant families who contribute to our country every day.
