In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“Social Security is an earned promise built on every single paycheck, and denying families the benefits they paid into is nothing short of a scam. To keep the system fully funded for generations, we must eliminate the tax cap so the ultra-wealthy pay into Social Security on every dollar of their income just like the rest of us.”
“I'm running for Congress to bring back servant leadership. As a historian, author, and community advocate, I believe that true public service should be guided by a simple timeless question: What Would Jesus Do? To me the answer is found in lifting up our families, standing by our neighbors, and defending the most vulnerable. I am running to lead with love, integrity, and building a future where we truly put Humanity First!”
