I’m running to represent everyday people in D.C. because I’ve faced the same struggles that too many people in St. Louis experience.
I know what it’s like to face the impossible choice between paying bills and putting food on the table. I know what it’s like to be in need of abortion care in a state where our reproductive freedoms are under constant attack. I’ve lived paycheck to paycheck, been evicted, and lived unhoused in a car with my two babies. I’ve experienced chronic health issues and COVID-19 without health insurance, and I know what it’s like to have to think twice before receiving life-changing care because the cost was too high.
As someone born and raised in St. Louis, I know what we need: a leader with courage and integrity who isn’t afraid to stand up for what’s right. As an activist, I know we don’t need bought-off politicians who take orders from corporate PACs and far-right donors. And as a democratic socialist, I know we need a fighter who answers to the people, not the billionaires who have rigged the rules in their favor. I am that fighter.
In Congress, I'll continue fighting for Medicare for All, expanding Social Security, and treating utilities such as water, heat, and electricity as basic human rights.
