Priorities

My Priorities

I believe we need pragmatic, results-driven strategies to invest in and expand the American Dream for everyone.

I believe we need to do more than just oppose this White House and its current policies. That’s why I’m offering a new vision — Freedom, Opportunity, Dignity, and Security — that’s hopeful and rooted in strengthening our families, communities, and nation…for today and the future.

Throughout my career, I’ve challenged outdated assumptions and built innovative solutions.

I’ve built a learning business, written textbooks on international business and trade, and advocated for policies to support workers and small businesses.

I’m the leader who:

  • understands how our economy works.
  • stands up to protect the rule of law.
  • can deliver new ideas and solutions to improve affordability and daily life.
  • knows how to make smart investments in people, education, infrastructure, and innovation.
  • will protect the programs working families rely on — instead of putting politics over people.

In Congress, I will deliver effective and efficient solutions that protect our freedoms and provide opportunity, education, dignity, and security for all Americans.

Together, we can restore trust, defend our democracy, and
rebuild an economy that rewards hard work — not just wealth.

Freedom for All

Freedom is the foundation of the American Dream. I’ll push for real solutions, not sound bites, every day to protect our constitutional rights, our democracy, and the freedoms that allow all Americans to thrive.

  • Our freedoms are under attack, and I will fight to protect democracy, fairness, justice, and the constitutional rights and individual freedoms of every American.
  • I strongly support reproductive freedom and privacy. Every woman should have the freedom to make her own healthcare decisions, regardless of income, race, workplace, or insurance status.
  • I believe every person deserves the freedom to pursue their American Dream.
  • I will fight to protect the fundamental rights of individuals to choose who they love and how they identify.
  • I will fight to uphold the Constitution.
  • I will champion voting rights so every voice is heard.
  • I support fair district maps (no more gerrymandering); campaign finance reform (no more undue corporate PAC influence); and commonsense term limits for the Supreme Court, Senate, and House.
  • I will push for accountability and ethics reforms in Congress and the federal courts, including banning stock trading by elected officials.
  • I believe America’s foundational freedoms are rooted in equality for all. Wealth should not entitle any citizen to greater rights, and our tax system should promote fairness and opportunity.

Opportunity & Education for All

Opportunity should not depend on your zip code. I will fight to make life more affordable and help families get ahead.

  • Support affordable childcare, elder care, and disability care so families can live and age with dignity.
  • Update outdated income and poverty thresholds so families can access real support.
  • Lower costs for essentials like groceries, housing, healthcare, and childcare.
  • Lower taxes on families struggling to afford childcare, groceries, housing, healthcare, and daily essentials.
  • Ensure fairness in our tax code and that billionaires pay their fair share in taxes.
  • Education is a fundamental right.
  • I believe our nation’s most fundamental responsibility is to ensure every child has access to a world-class education, regardless of race, religion, income, or zip code.
  • As an education technology entrepreneur, I understand that innovation is key to preparing students for the jobs of the future.
  • We must invest in:
    • Universal early childhood education.
    • Strengthening our K-12 curriculums so that every child has a world-class education.
    • Strong, modern K-12 schools with integrated pathways to vocational and trade schools, apprenticeships, and college.
    • Lifelong learning and skills training so workers can adapt and succeed in a changing economy.

Jobs, Innovation & Small Business

I’ve spent my career creating jobs and helping businesses grow — and I’ll bring that experience to Congress.

I believe that we need to invest in expanded public-private partnerships for apprenticeships, skills development, and retraining to support workers and the businesses that employ them.

  • Increase wages, including a higher minimum wage to ensure everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
  • Make it faster, easier, and more affordable to start and grow a business.
  • Support small businesses at every stage — from start-up to expansion.
  • Invest in innovation that raises wages, ensures benefits, and improves daily life.
  • Make transformative investments in America’s infrastructure and create millions of jobs.
  • Modernize laws so new technologies protect privacy, children, and workers.
  • Lead the efforts to create global guardrails for responsible use of AI by governments, businesses, and people.
  • Ensure America — not China — leads in AI, clean energy, and advanced manufacturing.
  • Cut waste and improve efficiency responsibly without destroying agencies that help people and employ Americans. We can fix government without crashing the economy.

Clean water and clean air are basic human rights.

We must partner with the private sector to invest in a healthier climate and planet for our children.

  • Invest in renewable energy generation, transmission, and storage projects to create good-paying construction, manufacturing, and maintenance jobs in the United States.
  • Protect America’s natural resources so future generations can flourish.
  • Lower energy costs and increase reliability for families and small businesses by modernizing the grid.

Dignity for All

Every person deserves respect, care, and security at every stage of life.

I support protecting every individual’s right to healthcare privacy and access to medical care. I believe all Americans deserve the legal and structural protections to live their best lives. As a military mom, I will fight to uphold every commitment made to our military families and veterans.

  • Treat healthcare as a right — including mental healthcare.
  • Protect Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans’ programs for current and future generations.
  • Expand options for subsidized, part-time in-home care for seniors and people with disabilities.

Inspired by caring for my mother with muscular dystrophy, I will fight for dignity in aging and disability care.

I strongly support comprehensive pro-legal immigration reform. For too long, both parties have dropped the ball on immigration.

We can fix it by creating a fair and transparent legal immigration system that welcomes skilled and unskilled workers from around the world and integrates them quickly into our economy as productive, tax-paying residents.

  • Fix our broken immigration system with fair, legal, and humane reform.
  • Invest in judges and caseworkers to process visas, green cards, and citizenship faster.
  • Deliver legislation to provide a permanent pathway to citizenship for Dreamers.

Security for Our Communities

Everyone deserves to feel safe — at home, at school, and in their neighborhoods.

I will champion legislation that protects both freedom and safety, ensuring everyone has the right to live free from crime and violence. We need to allow the CDC and other independent institutions to conduct research on the root causes of violence in our communities and follow evidence-based solutions. Commonsense public safety policies can reduce gun violence and save lives by keeping guns out of the WRONG hands.

  • Prevent gun trafficking.
  • Prohibit people with dangerous histories from having guns.
  • Stop and regulate the spread of 3D-printed gun designing & manufacturing.
  • Implement commonsense gun safety reforms, including universal background checks.
  • Support policies that reduce violence in our communities while protecting constitutional rights.

I believe America must remain a global superpower — not only through military strength, but through moral and economic leadership. When we stand with our allies and stand up to our adversaries, we make all Americans safer and more prosperous.

  • Provide a strong national defense and support for our military families and veterans.
  • Pursue smart foreign policy that strengthens our alliances, including NATO, and stands up to our adversaries — countries as well as global terrorist groups.
  • Strengthen our economic security through strong, diversified supply chains, trade, and innovation.

We must keep America strong and safe. That means investing wisely in our military and defense innovation so we remain the most capable force in the world. We should build a modern military that works closely with our allies to prevent conflict whenever possible and uses force carefully and responsibly — only when our core national interests are directly threatened. Strength comes not just from power, but from discipline, partnership, and smart leadership.

My Commitment to You!

My mission is simple: Freedom. Opportunity. Dignity. Security.
 
I’m ready to fight for all Americans, our democracy, and the future our children deserve.
