As a cancer survivor, I have seen and lived the chaos that is our healthcare system. I was blessed to be covered under the ACA and received life-changing care; I was one of the lucky ones. No one should have to decide between getting seen by a healthcare provider and putting food on their table. I believe that everyone, no matter their status, should have the right to healthcare.
As an activist in the Latino community, I have been outspoken about the atrocities that have been committed by ICE agents all around the country. I believe we should have a secure border, but I do NOT believe in imprisoning innocent people whose only crime is looking for a better life. I will propose an Immigration Reform to help all the hardworking men and women who help make this country great!
The times when a family could live off of one provider working one 40-hour-a-week job are over. While the rich get richer, everyday families are struggling to make ends meet. What was once a livable wage is no longer feasible. I propose to raise the minimum wage to $20/hr to keep up with inflation and return us to the days when one job was all that was needed to survive.
As the parent of a child who is part of this community, I understand the importance of creating laws to protect the basic rights of all members. No one should have to live in fear of waking up one morning and no longer having rights, having to hide in plain sight and pretend they are someone they are not. I will continue to fight and protect this community that makes our city great.
As an activist, I have seen drugs destroy families in our communities, corrupting our most vulnerable. I made news for helping lead the movement against Cheese Heroin and Fentanyl, drugs that were killing our children. I believe in rehabilitation for all minors who are caught with any kind of drugs; it is necessary and the right path to creating a new generation that won't have to worry about carrying Narcan every day.
Our country was established with a system to prevent any branch from abusing its power, a system that is now at risk of collapsing. As your Congressman, I vow to demand that these systems be respected and to impeach anyone who violates them.
