It’s time to restore the dignity of work.

Right now, we’re working harder than ever but our paychecks aren’t keeping up. I’m running for Congress because your full-time job should pay enough to raise your family. That’s why I support the Raise the Wage Act, which would incrementally increase the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $17 by 2030.

Congress must also do more to crack down on price gouging and end this administration’s reckless tariffs that have increased your everyday costs. I support strengthening supply-chains here at home so we’re less dependent on other countries, and I support fair trade deals that serve American workers, not a race to the bottom that benefits CEOs somewhere else. Any company that ships jobs overseas should pay back every tax break they received, and I will support the PRO Act so your right to join a union is never questioned.

I also believe Congress must invest in the future of work. We need to create jobs that can’t be easily replaced with artificial intelligence. When companies automate to cut labor costs, those gains should go to workers through higher wages and profit sharing, not only CEOs and shareholders.
