Candidate’s platform, in her words:

Healthcare for All
“Everyone deserves affordable, accessible health care no matter their income or ZIP code. I’ll fight to lower prescription drug costs, cap insulin prices, expand access to generic drugs and restore funding for rural and suburban hospitals. Health care is a human right and I support a Medicare for All framework.”

Maternal Health & Reproductive Justice
“No one should die from preventable pregnancy complications or be forced to give birth. I’ve led efforts on the county board to fund doula programs and reduce maternal health outcome disparities. I also helped secure millions for reproductive health care access in Illinois. In Congress, my focus will be to codify Roe v. Wade and ensure every woman can make her own health care decisions.”

Good Jobs & Lower Costs
“Working families deserve fair wages, affordable housing and relief from crushing costs. I’ll stand with unions, fight to repeal tax breaks for billionaires and support affordable housing investments. I’ve delivered medical debt relief to hundreds of thousands of Cook County residents and will lead similar efforts nationwide.”

Immigration & Human Rights
“I support a swift and humane path to citizenship for migrants, due process for all and accountability for agencies that violate civil rights. We must end racial profiling and ensure immigration enforcement upholds our Constitution and our values. The current administration and federal agents’ blatant disregard for due process and constitutional rights is wrong and in Congress I will hold ICE accountable for their actions.”

Safe Communities & Justice Reform
“I’ve supported millions of dollars in violence prevention and helped launch Cook County’s first Restorative Justice Community Court. I’ll continue to support police-community partnerships built on trust, accountability and safety for every family. No one should lose a loved one to gun violence. In Congress, I will partner with anyone that is willing to take on the National Rifle Association and the gun lobby to pass common sense gun laws and work to provide mental health care access to ensure our children, schools and communities are safe.”
