In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“Working families are already paying their fair share and then some. It's time to lower taxes for the 99%—the people who actually work, raise families, and power our economy—by making sure billionaires and massive corporations finally pay what they owe.”
“Healthcare is a basic human right, not a privilege tied to a job or the size of a paycheck. The only real way to bring down costs is to guarantee care for everyone by expanding and improving Medicare for All. That means cutting out the insurance middlemen who profit off people being sick and finally allowing the government to negotiate for lower prescription drug prices and fair medical costs.”
“The minimum wage has been stagnant since 2009, and it's long past time for change. We should not only raise it, but tie it to the cost of living. Anyone working 40 hours a week should be able to afford the bare essentials where they live—a roof over their head, water, gas, electricity, and food.”
