Redden is taking the more challenging path to take ZERO dollars from corporate PACs and lobbyists. She believes that public servants should only answer to their constituents and is willing to fight a harder fight in this race to prove that.Redden is the opposite of her incumbent; while Chabot stands for the status quo and relentless fearmongering, Redden brings facts and data in policy to show that demanding livable wages, affordable education, and healthcare is not radical.Redden has emphasized her upbringing, saying her experience having a sister with Down Syndrome exposed her to many of the inequalities families face regarding healthcare, education, and housing, and that many of these inequalities are not unique to families of people with disabilities, but rather affecting her entire community
