So what are we fighting for?
Great question. Here's where we stand on the big ones.
Overall, I'm fighting to bring reform to democracy and end voter suppression so that our representation is truly representative of the will of the people.
Especially as more Americans become civically energized, we have a remarkable opportunity to engage a proud new electorate to alter the course of history.
Because of this, our campaign and policies are focused on the future — and I've got a lot of optimism about what's possible.

New York City deserves bold, progressive leadership.
I’m a Democrat running in NY-12 because the status quo isn't good enough.
Our values are under attack by leaders that don’t share or understand our lived experiences, and New York deserves fierce and forceful advocates who are willing to stand boldly up to Trump.
Each day we aren't fighting is a day we are complicit in the dismantling of our democracy. it's time for creativity, innovation, and new blood in Washington.
Only 8% of this district voted in our last Congressional primary, but we've reached a tipping point for an entire generation. This is a unique time, and America is awake, aware, active. This is our moment to create a world that's more just, more equal, and more free.
