OUR DEMOCRACY
BELONGS TO US
NOT BILLIONAIRES
WA-02 DESERVES A REP WHO WILL
DO MORE THAN SEND STERN LETTERS
Doormat Democrats have failed us; it's time for a change. For years, I’ve watched the incumbent in this race ignore the danger our democracy is facing.
We have a chance to build an entirely new America that serves you and your family, not the wealthy and powerful. But first, we need new leadership that will stand up to Trump with more than just words.
My entire life, I’ve been told the things I want to do are impossible—and then I do them anyway. I’ve built businesses, created programs that helped millions living in poverty, and mobilized thousands in the fight for social and economic justice.
We need vision and courage now more than ever. Send me to Congress to be your voice.
ELECT PEOPLE WHO ARE READY TO FIGHT
EVEN IF IT MEANS
LOSING THEIR SEAT
I’m not a politician. I’m running because I’m tired of watching doormat democrats fail us while taking money from the same corporations MAGA is.
I won't accept ANY DONATIONS. Radical? We’re going to thrive on the strength of our ideas.
Incremental change won't cut it. I won't be afraid to tax billionaires out of existence, reform the Supreme Court, refuse to fund Israel’s genocide against Palestine, and hold Trump and his whole corrupt crew accountable.
Unlike the incumbent, I support the Green New Deal and Medicare for All and will never take a dime of corporate cash.
I will fight with everything I have to create a new America that delivers on its promise of opportunity and prosperity for you and your family.
We can lower your costs, tackle our homelessness and fentanyl crises, deliver the high-paying jobs that our community deserves, and protect the extraordinary natural resources that define this community.
We are in crisis, but a crisis can bring change. I’m not just asking for your vote. I’m asking you to join me in an unstoppable community of change-makers.
MY MOM TAUGHT ME TO FIGHT.
I hate bullies. Always have.
Why? Maybe it was all those comic books I read as a kid. Or seeing my mom, Ione, struggle to survive against a parade of scammers, predatory lenders, and crushing medical debt.
Mom raised me as a single parent since I was 8 years old. She was a former Miss New Jersey, Pinochle player, and real estate agent. We had good times but it was a constant battle to keep the heat on in the house and food on the table. There were a lot of tears.
Then came cancer. Mom had no health insurance. She survived but it devastated her financially. She lived with that stress daily until the bank seized her house. She would have been homeless if I hadn't bought her a place to live. She died shortly thereafter in 2010.
Watching mom helped teach me empathy for people with less power facing these enormous forces; I also learned to fight. She didn't have an education or resources, but mom was a fighter.
It enraged me when the GOP came one vote from ripping Obamacare away from millions and then plunged our country into historic deficits to give tax breaks to wealthy donors. And now they’re trying to destroy the very concept of truth so they can continue to plunder America.
I’ve stood up to bullies my whole life; I’m going to continue to do so during this critical time in our country’s history .
Deep breath.

“If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom and yet deprecate agitation are men who want crops without plowing the ground.
They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the roar of its mighty waters.”
— Frederick Douglass
