Get StartedYour paycheck should stay in your wallet! My economic plan includes a safety net, but not a gift basket. Our district needs quality jobs with equal pay for equal work so both women and men can support their families. Women should never work for 18% less money . To get there, I support a competitive business environment, balanced trade, liability reform, net-neutrality, and smart investments in our district. I support a $15/hour livable wage because working people deserve a fair paycheck. Multiple part-time jobs should add up to full-time benefits. Learn more
I support our K-12 public school system and our teachers. Washington should send money so teachers get a fair paycheck instead of sending standardized tests and advice on how to teach our kids. It is time to stop high-stakes testing because kids shine in many ways including art and music. I trust our teachers. My father-in-law taught in the Randolph public schools for decades. Learn more
No one has the right to an assault weapon. Everyone has the right to self-defense. I have not and will not accept NRA money, but I do support the 2nd Amendment and people who follow our laws. I believe in our Constitution and the amendments. I will vote against assault weapons and high capacity magazines. They only belong with law enforcement. Schools need funding now for safe rooms!

America needs affordable essential health care. It must include pre-existing conditions, reproductive health, CHIP, and students to age 26. To get there, Congress needs to partner with Apple, Amazon, Harvard, CVS, and health providers to improve care and lower costs. We need to negotiate medicine in bulk, regulate costs, limit medical liability, and help promote healthy living. Medicare is a promise we made to our Seniors and those receiving Social Security disability. The only way to prevent Medicare and Social Security from failing is to prevent "Medicare4All" from passing. Additionally, 150 Million+ people including tens of thousands of families in our district will have work and union policies vanish overnight. I am the only candidate who will vote NO on "Medicare4All". It is a working-class tax taken directly from the bottom line in your paycheck. AARP does not support HR676. Rep. Lynch sponsored "Medicare4All" for years (HR 676). He also voted NO on the ACA/ObamaCare. Learn more
Cutting benefits for seniors is like forgetting a promise. I intend to protect seniors by fighting Medicare and Social Security fraud. I will also push to buy medications on the open market from places like Canada to save money. We need to integrate business, insurance, and Seniors into a healthy tommorrow. Learn more
