What I’ll fight for:

• Breaking up abusive corporate concentration. Support stronger antitrust enforcement to stop mega-mergers that reduce competition and give a few companies outsized power over prices, wages, and supply chains.

• Cracking down on predatory practices and price-gouging. Back laws and enforcement actions that go after price-fixing, junk fees, and deceptive practices that quietly drain people’s bank accounts.

• Real competition and real choices. Strengthen rules that keep markets open to small and mid-sized businesses, so people actually have alternatives, not just different brands owned by the same parent company.

• Dignity in hard times. Support policies that keep people from falling off a cliff when the economy turns: unemployment protections, safeguards against foreclosure/eviction, and fair access to credit without exploitation.

• Raising the floor for workers. Push for fair wages and basic labor protections so people aren’t working full-time and still stuck choosing between gas and groceries.

I know what it feels like to be one unexpected bill away from disaster. I don’t see people’s hardship as a talking point — I see it as a warning that the system is off the rails. I’ll fight to rein in corporate power, bring down costs, and build an economy where people have real choices and a real chance to get ahead.

Here’s what I’ll fight for in Congress:

• Protect public lands from sell-offs and reckless privatization. Support legislation that keeps public lands in public hands and blocks schemes to carve them up for special interests.

• Fund and modernize land and forest management agencies. Give the agencies tasked with wildfire prevention, forest management, and watershed protection the staff, tools, and authority they need to do their jobs.

• Invest in wildfire prevention, not just disaster cleanup. Prioritize thinning, prescribed burns, reforestation, and community fire-break projects instead of waiting to spend billions after a major fire.

• Link land policy to water security. Recognize that healthy forests and watersheds are critical to long-term water supply, especially in arid and high-altitude regions.

• Respect local communities and tribal nations. Ensure affected communities and tribal nations have a real voice in decisions about land use, conservation, and development.

Public lands are a trust, not a transaction. I’ll fight to protect them — not put them on the chopping block.

What I'll fight for:

• Protect and strengthen the ACA, don’t sabotage it. Oppose efforts to repeal or gut the law, and support measures that expand subsidies, close coverage gaps, and lower premiums.

• Lower prescription drug costs. Back policies that allow negotiation on drug prices, crack down on price-gouging, and make generics more accessible.

• Mental health and addiction care as core health care. Treat mental health and substance use treatment as essential services, not afterthoughts.

• Rural & underserved access. Support community clinics, telehealth, and incentives to bring providers to underserved communities, so geography doesn’t decide your care.

Health care is not a political game. It’s about whether people can live their lives with security and dignity. I’ll fight to expand access, lower costs, and protect care not rip it away.

Principles I stand on:

• Independent oversight. Strengthen independent watchdogs and inspectors general so they can investigate waste, fraud, and abuse without political interference.

• Transparency. Support clear reporting on how public money is spent, who benefits, and how decisions are made inside federal agencies.

• Whistleblower protections. Protect people who come forward to report wrongdoing so they aren’t punished for telling the truth.

• Respect for civil liberties. Push back on overreach that undermines constitutional rights, whether it’s surveillance, law enforcement abuses, or executive power grabs.

Accountability isn’t about scoring partisan points; it’s about making sure government works within the law and in the public interest. If you give me the job, I’ll treat it like a responsibility, not a perk.
