Position Cost of living
“I don’t believe we should be giving billionaires tax cuts at a time when we are debating whether vulnerable children should have food provided by SNAP benefits. We need a tax code which empowers the middle class and raises people from poverty into the middle class.”

-
Position Health care
“I support expanding our Medicare system to cover all Americans. Short of that, I think we should strengthen the Affordable Care Act so that it actually works as intended.”
-
