The two most pressing issues I will face are protecting democracy and voting rights and ensuring economic security. Safeguarding the right to vote and maintaining trust in our democratic institutions is fundamental. I will continue to support legislation that expands access to the ballot, combats voter suppression, and strengthens transparency and accountability in government. At the same time, families are struggling with rising housing, health care, and everyday costs. I will work to expand access to affordable housing and health care, protect Social Security and Medicare, and promote fair wages and consumer protections. My focus is responsible, results-driven governance that strengthens democracy and improves quality of life.
