Platform
public safety
Families should feel comfortable walking to their local parks, running errands in their neighborhoods, and sitting on their stoops at night. Everyone deserves the right to public safety.
Abortion Rights
Abortion care is a fundamental right. We all must be able to control our own bodily autonomy in order to have true equality in our democracy and society.
IMMIGRATION
We must view immigration as a source of strength and power for our country. We must welcome immigrants and refugees with open arms and restore humanity to our immigration system.
Criminal Justice and Policing
We must fight mass incarceration and repair the broken relationship between police and the communities they are charged with serving and protecting.
HOUSING
We must increase not only the number, but also the quality of all affordable housing accommodations including rent-controlled and subsidized housing, NYCHA housing, senior housing, and supportive housing.
MENTAL HEALTH
Everyone should have access to affordable mental health treatment. Mental health must be taken just as seriously as their physical health by providers and insurance companies.
Disability Rights
We must defend the rights of Americans with disabilities, and expand them to include greater agency in their own lives, better education options, and improved access to the political process.
Horse Carriages
It’s long past time to ban the barbaric practice of work horses in an urban setting. It’s unsafe, inhumane, and morally wrong. Most major cities have banned horse carriages but well-connected companies keep this practice going and our elected officials say nothing. It’s time for change.
The Abundant Society
We must get the cost of living under control and make it easier to live, raise a family, and start a business.
Democracy Reform
We must end the control of money over politics, end partisan gerrymandering, and end voter suppression.
Family Opportunity GuaranteE
We must eradicate child poverty and increase economic security for families.
Climate Change
We must leave our climate in better condition for the next generation by aggressively deploying a multipronged strategy to decarbonize our economy and reach net-zero before 2050. We must pass a Green New Deal and
K-14+ EDUCATION FOR ALL
Everyone should have access to quality, affordable education. We must restructure and increase investment in our post-secondary education and workforce training systems, provide student debt relief, and invest in the future of our academic institutions.
WOMEN’S RIGHTS
We must fight for economic equality, access to affordable reproductive care, and combat domestic violence and sexual assault.
Open Streets
Open streets mitigate environmental damage, improve public health, encourage economic growth, make the streets safer, and raise the quality of life for all. It’s time to put people over cars.
The Dynamic Society
We must enact national policy to snap us out of our technological Great Stagnation, and recreate a Dynamic Society – one that catalyzes American ingenuity to innovate through our most pressing social challenges, and to realize a more imaginative and exhilarating future.
Restore SALT Deduction
Donald Trump’s 2019 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act unfairly capped the State and Local Tax (SALT) Deduction at $10,000 simply to punish blue states and liberal cities (such as New York) that choose to provide a higher level of services for their residents. In Congress, I will fight to restore the SALT Deduction.
DISCOVERY PROJECT
We must invest in research and science. It’s time to get America to discover again to solve existential issues like climate change, pandemics, biodiversity loss and to find the unknown unknowns that can change the course of humanity.
GUN ViOLENCE
We need to pass comprehensive gun violence prevention legislation, and put an end to this national epidemic of gun violence.
LGBTQ Rights
LGBTQ mistreatment is an epidemic that requires a systemic political change to remedy.
MARIJUANA
It’s time to legalize marijuana and end the failed war on drugs.
Medicare for all
America’s broken healthcare system is a dangerous drain on our economy. Our high-priced healthcare system leaves millions uncovered, unable to afford treatment, and cut off from access to care.
