Campaign themes

2018

“	Healthcare Our healthcare system needs a lot more than a tin of Band-Aids. As a physician, I've seen the failures. We need to restore trust in the doctor-patient relationship and bring down inflated healthcare costs. Insurance companies put up roadblocks to patient care. People can't afford the medications their doctors are prescribing. Our billing system is so complex that it takes specialized training to understand it. We're not even able to provide sustainable coverage for our at-risk children. On September 30th, 2017, Congress let the CHIP program, which filled in coverage gaps for nearly 9 million children, expire. For parents of children with special needs, they're digging deep into their pockets to pay for the services that will help their children thrive. Without regulation, insurance companies will gladly go back to the days when they could deny coverage to individuals with pre-existing conditions or refuse to cover mental illness therapies. We've got a staggering opioid crisis and lack the resources to treat it. Fact: we all need and deserve health care. I will design and fight for a plan that won't crumble after a single election cycle. As your Congresswoman I will fight to: Decrease inflated healthcare costs and eliminate waste Enforce pharmaceutical pricing oversight and demand price negotiation Expand access to healthcare in a stepwise fashion by first establishing Medicare for all children and dropping the Medicare eligibility age to 55 years old Promote jobs within health care that expand access, not bureaucracy Protect and boost funding for NIH Cut back red tape to facilitate introduction of new medications and control research and development costs Prioritize access to healthcare by establishing medicare for all children, dropping the eligibility age to 55 years old, and making it a public option. Education A quality education is a fundamental tool to help children thrive. It is the way people change their circumstances and live out the American Dream. I am an example of the empowering effect of education. We have far too many schools under-performing and the steeply rising costs of college and universities either make higher education unaffordable or produce graduates drowning with debt. Not all school districts are created equally. And vouchers don't solve the problem. Our teachers shouldn't have to dig into their pockets to provide basic school supplies. And schools need to be equipped to handle the needs of students affected by: poverty, lacking of social and/or family support, mental health issues, economic stress, and bullying. As your Congresswoman I will fight to: Level the playing field at our public schools Protect Title IX Decrease the cost of higher education Expand social services around public schools to address non-educational needs of students Expand affordable public options for higher education Expand certificate programs for trade, manufacturing and technology Incorporating STEAM into the curriculum beginning at the primary level Make high speed internet accessible for all schools Enhance community colleges and state institutions as affordable and accessible options for higher education Grow child care programs at community colleges to encourage higher education Economy and Jobs As your Congresswoman, We need to keep American jobs at home and create policies that expand high paying jobs in the workforce. Globalization and automation are here to stay. We should use these movements to grow our economy. We need to think forward and strengthen our clean energy industries, healthcare system, education system at all levels, social services, public health and research. We also need to support our agriculture and ensure that farmers thrive. I will advocate for small businesses, the cornerstone of any strong economy. We need to protect our local economics from global competition in positive and productive ways. As your Congresswoman I will fight for: Minimum wages that meet cost of living Infrastructure investments to ready us for the future Ensuring our industries have a place in the global market Domestic energy production Becoming a world leader growth in alternative energies Policies that promote innovation, entrepreneurship and encourage partnership between private ventures and the government Immigration As your Congresswoman, I will fight for practical and humane immigration reform that addresses national and global challenges. We need compassion, respect and acknowledgment of individual responsibility. On this topic, the rhetoric has been particularly toxic and the effects are reaching our children. Our President is a pro at polarizing the country, stirring up tensions and pitching out-of-touch policies or repeals. We are a country of immigrants. It is American tradition to welcome those who are looking to begin a new life, hoping to enjoy freedom from and of religion, escaping violence or persecution. Families two or three generations in shouldn’t live and work in the shadows. The current system promotes tax fraud, human trafficking and compromises human dignity. We shouldn’t be in the business of stigmatizing children. Dreamers are American-educated success stories. They’ve been educated and trained in the American system. We should keep those talents here instead of uprooting those for whom America is the only place they've ever called home. As your Congresswoman I will fight for: Comprehensive immigration reform that brings people out of the shadows and empowers them to contribute to our economy and grow our GDP Expanded pathways for legal entry into the United States for jobs of all skill levels A just pathway to citizenship for Dreamers Reinforced borders to stem the flow of drugs and criminal activity coming into the country Immigration policies that do not discriminate based on faith Criminal Justice We have a revolving door criminal justice system -- one that profits off recidivism. How many convicted individuals come out of the prison system rehabilitated? The US Sentencing Commission released a study in early 2017 that revealed federal offenders who were younger than 21 years old at the time they were released were most likely to wind up back in the system (67.6% rearrest rate). We’re not doing the future of this nation any favors. Putting handcuffs on a child forever changes him/her. Sending that child into a punitive system as opposed to a reformative system has the kinds of consequences we expect it to have. At the same time, our law enforcement and first responders put their lives on the line each and every day. Their families live with that sacrifice as well. We honor them best by helping them to build bridges with the communities they so bravely serve, providing them with the proper training and fighting to reduce crime overall. As your Congresswoman I will fight for: Trainings to help law enforcement recognize and manage mental health crises Bridges between law enforcement and social services to address crisis situations and urgent needs Additional trainings on the use of force Turning prisons into rehabilitation center, starting with juveniles, and growing into adults. Arrested minors should always be matched up with a social worker and the focus should be on identifying ways to empower and rehabilitate the child. Stigma helps no one. Expansion of our cybersecurity initiatives to protect consumers and credit card companies from losses Guns We need representatives who aren’t afraid of standing up to the NRA. I don’t want to see any more innocent American lives sacrificed to their weaponized agenda. It is very telling that the gun lobbyists fought hard for the 1996 Dickey Amendment (Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Bill) which stated that “none of the funds made available for injury prevention and control at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention may be used to advocate or promote gun control.” The gun lobbyists fight to ban pediatricians from asking whether guns are in the home and if they’re safely stored. The NRA grades lawmakers every election cycle, far too many of our representatives have received an A rating for siding with the gun rights lobbyists. As your Congresswoman I will fight to: Ban assault weapons Block attempts to legalize silencers Institute effective background checks Keep weapons out of the hands of those with a history of violence, especially domestic abusers Lift bans on the CDC / NIH and fund research on gun violence and preventative measures Ban bump stocks Explore safer gun technologies Environment The scientific evidence is clear and abundant. Climate change is real. Our world, lacking full understanding of the ocean depths and global temperatures, is apathetic to the irreversible environmental disasters we are facing. No matter how far the science deniers sink their heads into the sand, we are witnessing and suffering the consequences of extreme weather, severe droughts, and rising seas. The anthropogenic degradation of the oceans has caused untold devastation to our world’s food supply, the global economy, to our lives and our planet. We have to admit to the reality of climate change and take a leading role in shaping efforts and policies to fight climate change. We must recommit ourselves to the UN Paris Climate Agreement, as well as guide all committed members toward clean energy, and better, cleaner tomorrow for our children. We have to stop protecting the outdated and subpar 20th century technology, and invest in alternative clean energy technology. We need to revisit the established science, focus on the ethical implications, and review all the current prevailing laws. The scale of the damage is extensive and the efforts to mitigate the environmental degradation and restore healthy ecosystems and food chains are far-reaching. It is vital, at this very moment, that we begin to meaningfully invest in science and make evidence-based decisions that will give us future generations a fighting chance. As your Congresswoman I will fight for: Reduction in carbon pollution Increased investment in research and innovation to launch a cleaner alternative energy Increased funding for training for clean energy jobs Pushing the US in the direction of energy independence Researching and developing new policy recommendations that will assist in restoration and remediation of environmental issues that directly impact us Researching and fighting for a preventative and precautionary approach to integrating legislation, economic tools, recognition of ethical concerns, and establishing an overall effective policy framework Seek a solution to the problem that includes an integrated approach, involving individuals, government, NGOs, and private industry, while incorporating a variety of tools and approaches simultaneously to solve the problem Women We have gotten as far as we have on gender equality only because brave women paved the way. We can’t let the momentum falter. We need equality and parity, without disclaimers. Pregnancy or domestic violence should never be classified as pre-existing conditions and exclude women from health coverage. Lets not mistake being pro-choice with being anti-life. Groups like Planned Parenthood can help with family planning, education, health screenings and preventative care, particularly where there are barriers to access. As your Congresswoman I will fight for: Equal pay for equal work Expeditious processing of sexual assault cases A woman’s right to make decisions for her body Keeping guns out of the hands of those with a history of intimate partner violence (IPV) Access to reproductive health resources including contraception, maternity and newborn care Protecting Planned Parenthood Uniform laws to ban child marriage in the United States Childcare programs at community colleges Foreign Policy Let’s face it. The political climate of the world is chilling. From North Korea to the Middle East, from Europe to Africa - our foreign policies are nonexistent. The world is awakening, and social, economical, and political migration is on the rise. We are seeing the reverse of colonialism. Isolationism is harder to maintain. In today's technological world, even small, local issues have widespread, international consequences. The world does not need any more bombs, fighter jets, and expanding militaries. The world needs a vision to a peaceful future where human and civil right is its most important value. We need to reestablish and strengthen our diplomatic ties, increase our foreign aid, and expand our global outreach budgets, not our military budget. We should strive to be respected, not resented. We need to be a guiding hand with long term goals. As the richest and most powerful country in the world it is our responsibility to ensure America safety and security. It’s also our responsibility to strive for peace and development. Combating global terrorism and transnational crime requires addressing the root causes of terrorism, poverty, isolation, lack of education, and marginalization. The best way to protect our security is by promoting peace, progress, and prosperity across the globe. We can maintain our role as world leader by maintaining mutually beneficial alliances with other nations and helping grow economies. The best way to honor our troops is by not placing them in harm’s way. Military interventions should be kept to the bare minimum. As your Congresswoman I will fight to: Make diplomacy, foreign aid, and global outreach should be essential cornerstones of our policy Promote human and civil rights and rejecting torture Eliminate all mass surveillance programs, at home and abroad Eradicate terrorism by working with our allies to protect human rights and prevent radicalization Create a reliable, safe and resilient cyberspace, securing our democracy and economy	”
