In addition to championing women’s rights, I see my role as fighting to restore democracy, end voter suppression, and make my district, my state, and my country healthier and affordable. But whether it’s about safeguarding our democracy from assault, defending women’s rights, LGBTQIA rights, and disability rights, or finding ways to help more people achieve the American dream, I will go to Washington with the needs of real people, who look and feel and dream and despair, like those in my district, as my North Star.
