Newest first. A close vote was decided by 5% of the votes cast or less (or 10 votes or fewer, under a fifth of the votes). Broke with party: voted against most of their party, where the record gives the party split.
In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“Universal Healthcare: Committed to providing access to universal healthcare for all citizens, with a focus on addressing chronic illnesses, and mental health services.”
“Eradicate Homelessness: Committed to eliminating homelessness through comprehensive policies and support systems that provide stable housing and essential services to those in need.”
“I believe in equal opportunities under the law. Our Constitution promises fairness, yet millions live under a system where justice depends on political affiliation. That's insanity to choose from the lesser of 2 evils. That contradiction shows democracy does not belongs to the people, but to political gatekeepers. My campaign is about hope, equal opportunity, and holding elected officials accountable when they break their promises. For too long, leaders claim to seek peace while dragging us into conflicts abroad. It's time to stop choosing sides between parties and start choosing leadership serves all Americans. Even George Washington warned against partisan politics he was an independent too! Its time we send them all home.”
“I believe in equal justice under the law. Our Constitution promises fairness, yet millions of Americans live under a system where justice depends on power and privilege. Today our nation faces a contradiction: a president can be convicted of a felony and still seek the highest office, while citizens in states like mine can lose their right to vote because of past convictions and can't find housing or employment. I live that reality. I cannot cast a ballot, yet people can still vote for me. That truth shows democracy belongs to the people—not gatekeepers. My campaign challenges systems that silence voices and proves that redemption, accountability, and equal treatment must apply to everyone. Every vote should count.”
“I have faced adversity my entire life and refused to be defined by it. As an infant I survived spinal meningitis after doctors said I might not live or could suffer permanent brain damage. As a student I overcame bullying and constant school changes, even enrolling in independent college courses to earn enough credits to graduate on time. As an adult I faced personal struggles, including postpartum depression and domestic abuse, and I rebuilt my life through music and advocacy. I became a pioneering Southern female musical artistivist and later a human rights advocate challenging voter disenfranchisement laws that affect hundreds of thousands of Americans. I am an overcomer, and I am running to represent people who feel forgotten.”
