Criminal Justice(6)
Supports federal decriminalization of marijuana, arguing that drug war incarceration has been misguided and that legalization would bring economic benefits.
"The federal government should decriminalize marijuana. We have the highest prison population in the world – partly due to the misguided 30 year war on drugs. No one's future should be destroyed for recreational or medical activities done in their own homes which do no harm to others."

Economy(3)
Supports directing federal infrastructure funding to the district to attract businesses and create jobs.

Healthcare(13)
Supports capping prescription drug prices by following the example of other Western nations that regulate pharmaceutical pricing.
"We must fight for lower prescription drug prices, big pharma has increased the price of vital medications for our seniors beyond a price they can afford and we can't stand for this any longer. Most western nations put limits on the price of pharmaceuticals and we need to follow their lead."

Social Issues(1)

"The overturning of Roe has set us back 50 years and Republicans' attacks on reproductive rights are causing OBGYNs to flee the state. This is unacceptable. Our families deserve better. Full reproductive rights is essential healthcare."
