I'm running for U.S. Senate.

Medicare for All isn't just a healthcare guarantee, it's a small business empowerment program.

🚨🚨🚨
✅ $1.77 MILLION raised last quarter.
✅ Powered by 23,597 individual contributions.
✅ 95% of which were less than $100.

This movement belongs to you.

Together, we’re going to get money out of politics, put it back in your pocket, and pass Medicare for All.

And in the memory of the atrocities committed upon them and those that continue to be committed on so many indigenous communities worldwide, we strive for a world where indigenous people are guaranteed dignity and self-determination on their own land.

We have the right to breathe clean air. But corporations buy politicians out to get them to look the other way.

That has to END.

Michiganders deserve clean air. The Kronos concrete plant is a danger to thousands of kids who go to school within a mile of it. It’s time they’re held accountable. Thank you to the Detroit community leaders and State Sen. Stephanie Chang for joining us to take them on.

When I was Wayne County’s Health Director, we kicked off our program to deliver over tens of thousands of pairs of free glasses to Michigan kids who needed them—just like I did in Detroit nearly a decade ago. Because that’s what public service is about.

When the bailout for Argentina…is actually a bailout for the Treasury Secretary’s hedge fund billionaires.

They get richer…and it just gets harder for you.

Donald Trump would rather shut down your government than make sure you can afford your healthcare.

Sick of being told your doctor is “out-of-network?” Medicare for All would fix that.

We pray for peace—that the ceasefire holds, the killing ends, and rebuilding begins. And we work for a future where our tax dollars are spent to protect our children rather than fund a genocide against other people’s children.

Netanyahu and all who enabled these atrocities must be held accountable under international law.
