    Supports opening New Jersey primaries to all registered voters without party declaration, independent commissions to draw district lines, and ending the county line ballot design.

  • Gun Policy & Second Amendment

    Supports

    Supports meaningful gun control laws, framing gun violence as the leading cause of death for children and attributing Congressional inaction to gun-lobby influence enabled by Citizens United.

  • Healthcare Access & Affordability

    Supports

    Fierce supporter of Medicare for All who would sign on to Sen. Bernie Sanders' bill S1506 immediately, arguing that insurance cannot work for healthcare because insurance is designed for loss, not maintenance.

    “I am a FIERCE supporter of M4A and will sign on to Bernie Sander's Bill S1506 immediately. As a former underwriter, I can assure you that insurance will NEVER work for healthcare as insurance is designed for loss, not maintenance.”

  • Immigration

    Supports

    Would abolish ICE immediately and replace it with a fast-tracked path to citizenship and comprehensive immigration reform, which she argues has been blocked by donor-beholden leadership in both parties.

    “ABOLISH immediately and replace with a vigorous and fast-tracked path to citizenship.”
