Our
Platform

Good Jobs. Healthy Families. Safe Streets.

We’re building a campaign focused on the issues that matter most to our community: creating opportunity, protecting families, and making neighborhoods safe and strong.

The details:

A good job means more than a paycheck—it means stability, dignity, and a future. Too many families are working harder than ever but still struggling to make ends meet. We can do better.

 

We’ll invest in small businesses, expand access to capital, and cut red tape so local employers can grow and hire. We’ll partner with community colleges, apprenticeship programs, and trade schools to prepare workers for careers in healthcare, clean energy, technology, and skilled trades. And we’ll fight for wages and protections that match the rising cost of living.

 

By modernizing our infrastructure—roads, transit, broadband—we’ll not only create jobs now but also lay the foundation for long-term economic growth.

Good Jobs 

Building Pathways to Opportunity

At a glance:

  • Grow local businesses and support entrepreneurs
  • Invest in workforce training and job readiness
  • Ensure fair wages and worker protections
  • Modernize infrastructure to spark growth

Healthy Families

Putting People First

At a glance:

  • Affordable healthcare, including mental health

  • Strong schools from early childhood through college

  • Paid family leave and childcare support

  • Affordable housing and housing stability

The details:

Families are the heart of our community—but they’re stretched thin. Healthcare costs are rising. Schools need more support. Childcare and housing are out of reach for too many.

 

We’ll expand access to affordable healthcare and ensure every family has access to mental health and addiction treatment. We’ll strengthen public schools with resources and opportunities from pre-K through higher education. We’ll fight for paid family leave and affordable childcare so parents can focus on their families without sacrificing their income.

 

And we’ll prioritize affordable housing and stability, so families don’t have to live with the fear of losing their home.

 

Healthy families make strong communities.

Safe Streets

Communities We Can Trust

At a glance:

  • Build trust through community-based policing

  • Invest in prevention and youth opportunity

  • Address root causes of crime

  • Improve neighborhood safety and public spaces

The details:

Safety is a right—not a privilege. Every resident should feel safe at home, at work, and in their neighborhood.

 

That means building trust between law enforcement and communities with accountability, transparency, and true partnership. It means preventing crime by investing in after-school programs, youth opportunities, and job training. It means addressing the root causes of crime—poverty, addiction, lack of opportunity—through support and rehabilitation.

 

And it means investing in our neighborhoods with better lighting, safer crosswalks, and vibrant public spaces that bring people together.

 

True safety doesn’t come from fear. It comes from strong, connected communities.

Our Vision for the Future

This campaign is about building opportunity, protecting families, and strengthening neighborhoods.

We envision a community where:

  • Every worker earns a fair wage and has a pathway to opportunity.

  • Every family has access to affordable healthcare, strong schools, and safe housing.

  • Every neighborhood is safe, welcoming, and full of possibility.

Together, we can build the future
our children deserve.

The Key to All of This

The American People want these policies. Our country needs these solutions. All of this is possible. All of this can happen, IF Democrats regain control of Congress and the White House.

 

We cannot take this or any other election for granted. We must wake up every day and ask ourselves, what can we do to save our country?

And the answer must always start with electing Democrats to every office from the start to the end of our ballots.
