Let’s be honest—the Democratic Party has plenty of problems. They play it too safe, they’re too slow to act, and too many of them would rather hold a fundraiser than fight for working people. Some even argue that the Democrats are in bed with the Republicans.  I’m not blind to it, and I’m not here to sugarcoat it.

But here’s the truth: if you want to make real change, you have to be in the room where decisions get made. That means using the Democratic Party as a tool—not an identity. I’m not running to defend the party’s failures, of which there are many.  I’m running because I believe it can and must do better. 

More importantly, I’m not afraid to say so.

When Democrats back down to corporate interests? I’ll call them out. When they refuse to take bold action on housing, health care, or education? I’ll be the loudest voice pushing them to act. If corporate interests try to block progress, I’m naming names and fighting for you.

Being in the party doesn’t mean falling in line—it means having the platform to demand better.

And make no mistake—when the party loses its way, and it will, I won’t sit quietly. I’ll challenge them, pressure them, and drag them back to the people they’re supposed to serve. If you’re tired of politicians who play it safe and toe the party line, good. 

So am I.

I’m not here to fit in—I’m here to get things done.

In solidarity,
