Issues

One of my main priorities in Congress is putting America’s middle neighborhoods back on top. These communities are on the edge of growth and decline - they are areas that are doing just well enough. I know firsthand what is at stake for America’s Middle Neighborhoods. I grew up in North Philly and today I live in West Oak Lane just blocks away from Germantown High School, my alma mater. As your representative in Congress, I will continue to support policies that strengthen our neighborhoods, block by block.

Every day, more than 125 Americans die from gun-related injuries and more than 200 are shot and wounded. As gun violence continues to shatter communities here in Philadelphia and across the country, enough is enough - the time for action is now.

Social Security is an earned benefit! It's firmly established as a right and assurance American taxpayers are entitled to.

While Republicans in the White House and Congress are trying to dismantle this system, nearly 70 million Americans rely on, I’m fighting back!

I am a firm believer that America’s economy must work for people on Broad Street- not just billionaires. That we should not be putting corporations over Cobbs Creek or prioritizing Wall Street over West Philly.

I know that investing in America’s infrastructure isn’t just about concrete and steel, it needs to include making our communities cleaner, greener, safer, and more accessible, all the while creating jobs and boosting local, state, and our national economy. That’s why I was proud to vote for Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act!
