Enhance union protections and the right to organize across all sectors, including service and gig industries.

Strengthen OSHA enforcement and expand protections to ensure safe, equitable working environments.

End union suppression and impose accountability on employers engaging in exploitative labor practices.

Advocate for robust federal labor laws. While states have regulatory authority, many fall short in worker protections. Having worked under both Illinois and Michigan labor laws, I’ve experienced the contrast—Illinois prohibits excessive consecutive workdays; Michigan does not. Federal standards must close these gaps. Labor exploitation persists across every industry, including the legal profession. All workers deserve dignity, equity, and safe conditions.

Advance education reform that emphasizes both student investment and parental accountability.

Encourage emotional literacy and parental responsibility, particularly in underserved communities.

Implement legal safeguards against exploitative development and mass displacement.

Expand access to affordable housing and fortify tenant rights.

Advocate for increased access to publicly funded housing. No one should be unhoused while properties sit empty and corporations profit from land speculation.

Invest in diversion programs for youth and non-violent offenders.

Address systemic causes of incarceration, including racial inequality and institutional neglect.

Pursue federal marijuana legalization and clear non-violent marijuana-related criminal records.

End the exploitative labor practices within the prison system. Rehabilitation should empower individuals, not monetize their captivity.

Champion the inclusion of working-class voices in Congress.

Challenge the cycle of electing career politicians based solely on their ability to navigate established systems.

Prioritize policy development grounded in lived experience over political legacy.

Commit to empathy, transparency, and principled leadership as foundations for authentic governance.

I acknowledge that I did not grow up in poverty—my parents maintained steady incomes. However, I experienced emotional neglect, which shaped my resilience and independence. My struggles were not financial, but rooted in the absence of emotional support and guidance. I do not fabricate a narrative to fit a political archetype; my experience is real, and I carry it with me into this work.

Improve access to healthy, affordable food in schools and underserved communities.

Support the expansion of universal healthcare and mental health services.

Prioritize maternal health, especially for working-class and BIPOC mothers. Prenatal breastfeeding education and paid postpartum recovery should be standard. Women are foundational to society and should be supported—not penalized—for their roles in reproduction.

Provide tuition-free community college and public university education.

Develop inclusive, trauma-informed curricula that meet the needs of diverse learners.

Cancel student debt through comprehensive federal action.

Reject campaign contributions from corporations and billionaires to preserve integrity in public service.
