POLICY PRIORITIES

WOMEN’S HEALTHCARE - Women should have control of their own bodies and reproductive rights. PERIOD. FULL STOP. 

NATIONAL SECURITY - Not since the end of the Cold War has the American security environment been this complex. With Russia and China seeking to upend decades-old international norms, America must be prepared to compete and, if necessary, defend the democratic institutions that have underpinned post-WWII global prosperity. As a defense policy professional, I will ensure America is ready to meet the challenges of tomorrow for the safety and prosperity of future generations.

JOBS - President Biden's 'Build Back Better' Framework positions America to generate millions of well-paying jobs in the next decade. This unprecedented investment aims to restore the American dream, which was eroded in recent decades to outsourcing and wage competition. Additionally, the 'Build Back Better' plan addresses supply chain vulnerabilities exposed during the global pandemic, propelling American workers toward a renewed pursuit of the American dream. I will fight to keep America on track and BUILD BACK BETTER!

VETERANS - Veterans encounter distinct challenges stemming from their service. Drawing from my experience as a combat veteran and retired Army officer, I am committed to tirelessly advocating for my fellow veterans every day. If elected, I will ensure that Congress fulfills its solemn promise to all those who sacrificed to safeguard Americans and uphold our way of life.

EDUCATION & TRAINING - Hand in hand with jobs and national security, we need to prepare future generations for the jobs of tomorrow. Long gone are the days where a high school education will secure you a prosperous future. Today’s globally competitive labor force requires highly skilled workers across a range of specialties, not just fantastical technologies like quantum computing and hypersonic missile defense, but also HVAC, Home Automation, Renewable Energy, and many other advanced systems entering our day-to-day lives. I will fight to ensure our students are ready to enter a constantly changing and highly technical labor force.

SENIORS - Seniors deserve to enjoy their golden years without the constant concern of financial ruin due to changes in income and the high cost of healthcare. Having helped transition a parent forced to leave the workforce earlier than planned due to a healthcare-related issue, and navigated them through the daily web of senior services, I am all too familiar with these challenges, and I will fight to ensure seniors have access to programs to help them age gracefully.

HEALTHCARE - Despite having world-class medical schools, many Americans can't afford quality healthcare due to intermediaries profiting from people's suffering. Additionally, Republicans are attempting to repeal the Affordable Care Act, jeopardizing protections like affordable prescriptions, pre-existing conditions, and coverage limits. I'm committed to safeguarding healthcare rights for all Americans, ensuring that age doesn't hinder productivity, and eliminating the constant fear of financial ruin for staying healthy.

TECHNOLOGY & INNOVATION - The world is moving faster than ever, and more countries than ever before are now competing with America to develop future technologies. Selfishly, I want America to remain at the forefront of the next great revolution in technology and science because our economic prosperity and national security depend on it. As a national defense space systems developer, I've witnessed the rapid advancement in space technology over the past decade, and it is truly exciting. I aspire to involve more Americans in the upcoming technological revolution, spanning quantum computing, Artificial Intelligence, Autonomy, Renewable Energy Generation and Storage, and many other advanced technologies that will usher in the next generation of humanity.
