Get StartedI support Bernie Sanders's College for All Act to eliminate tuition and fees at four-year public colleges and universities, tribal colleges, community colleges, trade schools, and apprenticeship programs. Learn more
I support state, municipal, and cooperative ownership of utilities like PGE. The utilities that we all rely on should focus on delivering good service and keeping us safe. Learn more
Medicare for All will put all Americans under a single-payer national health insurance program. Everybody in, nobody out. Automatically enrolled at birth, any American can go to any doctor they choose. All while saving our country money. Learn more
I support stronger rent control than what we already have in California and rent stabilization. Folks with a 30 year fixed-rate mortgage should not be the only ones with the equivalent of rent control. I also support a tenant right-to-counsel, completely funding Section 8 vouchers for all eligible families to get rid of waitlists, and promoting tenant unionization. Learn more
I support lifting this cap and applying the payroll tax to all income over $250,000. This would allow us to expand benefits across the board; increase minimum benefits to lift millions of seniors out of poverty; and increase cost-of-living adjustments to better keep up with the rising costs of healthcare.

I support increasing the pay for our overworked and underfunded teachers. Learn more
I also support implementing a federal sick leave program. No worker should have to go to work sick because they can’t afford to miss a single shift. Learn more
I support a centralized federal unemployment insurance program that is tied to a postal banking account. When we leave our jobs, we should not have to spend time and energy applying for unemployment. Learn more
