If you are terrified of ICE and appalled by the federal government's attacks on trans people, I'm the fighter you need representing you. I take action in the face of injustice. I have shown that I can forge a path to success against those who would hurt our community: from the win against the union-busting boss to the successful removal of invasive surveillance tech, I get it done.
Everything I do is for this community and that will continue when I’m in Salem.
You've seen me volunteering at library events, speaking out at City Council meetings, and standing in solidarity on picket lines.
Our system is broken. Those who already have power aren’t using that power to help us. Working class people of all colors are being ignored. We need leaders who will protect us from fascism and who are capable of diving in and solving problems. Standing up for the vulnerable is hard, but it's critical. We are in crisis, but if we organize behind strong, progressive leaders, we will win against the federal government’s attempted tyranny.
