Our Platform

Neighborhoods across Chicago and Cook County are struggling with rising poverty rates, homelessness, uninsured people, unemployment, and costs of living. I am running because Cook County needs a champion that will fight for universal healthcare, dignified housing, safe neighborhoods, and a clean environment for everyone.
