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?

Affordability: We are being priced out of our own lives due to corporate politician’s support of imperialistic, racial, and patriarchal systems. We need a common-sense market centered around quality of life for the working class.Accountability - We’ve watched atrocities in our streets for too long. Our government spends billions on ICE, wars and genocides, and our people do not have healthcare. Meanwhile, not a single arrest has been made for the E files.

We’ve felt helpless wanting someone to do something. Impeachment and trials must happen.Anti-establishment action: Your debts mount today. Your constitutional rights are threatened today. Your lives are at risk today. Public Servants should be building a better world for all today. Politicians are bought and sold. We need to overturn Citizen’s United, get money out of politics, impeach bad actors in our government, and work towards a rule of law that works for ALL, not just the wealthy.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Universal Health care, getting private equity our of residential ownership and hospitals, trials for all in the E files and all who worked with the President and ICE to commit civil and human rights violations
