After starting at Indiana University to improve my grades, I transferred to Notre Dame and earned a spot as a walk-on, spending two seasons on the football team.</h4>After graduation, I came home to learn my family’s small business from the ground up. Later, I served on the legislative staff for Congressman Tony Cárdenas (D-CA), where I wrote bills ranging from helping American workers move for better jobs to protecting college athletes.I went on to earn a Master’s in Applied Economics from Georgetown and an M.B.A. from Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management while working full time in the finance industry. In 2023, I ran for Chicago City Council on a platform of safer streets and more affordable housing. When I lost that race, I thought I’d never run again.But then the Democratic establishment fumbled the 2024 election, and we were forced to live under another four years of Donald Trump. I couldn’t sit back and watch Washington insiders keep leading the country in the wrong direction. That’s why I’m running for the U.S. Senate, to fight for working families, to make America more affordable, and to build a future we can be proud of.

<h2>How to handle donations on your website</h2>Run does not process donations directly on our platform, as is standard with most political and advocacy sites.Campaigns are often required to comply with reporting requirements, donation limits, and other regulations, so using a donation processor that specializes in serving campaigns is generally a good idea. Sign up with a donation processor and then on your Pages sidebar, click the Link icon on the Donate page and add the link to your donation page.

Raise the Federal Minimum Wage to $17 Increase the minimum wage nationwide to reflect inflation and rising living costs while preserving local flexibility for higher standards.Guarantee the Right to Organize a Union Protect and expand workers’ ability to form and join unions to raise wages and strengthen bargaining power.Ban Non-Compete Agreements Nationwide Prohibit employers from blocking workers from taking better jobs in their field or industry.Support Workers Displaced by AI Fund large scale worker retraining, expand education savings accounts for adults, and tie immigration, licensing, and labor policy to protect Americans in disrupted sectors.Expand Vocational and Apprenticeship Pathways Fund employer-led apprenticeship programs in advanced manufacturing, healthcare, and the trades.Invest in Infrastructure That Creates Jobs Target permitting reform and investment in ports, roads, and energy grids. Not just as infrastructure, but as job creators with paychecks attached.Make the Wealthy and Big Corporations Pay Fair Taxes Stop rewarding stock buybacks, CEO pay spikes, and offshoring by closing loopholes and raising corporate tax fairness.Portable Benefits for Independent WorkersCreate a national framework for gig and contract workers to access retirement plans, unemployment coverage, and health options.Create a National Labor Mobility Compact Require all states to recognize each other’s occupational licenses (unless proven safety risk) and offer relocation vouchers to help workers move to stronger job markets.Heartland Visas for Shrinking Regions Offer special visas to high skill immigrants who move to counties losing working age residents to help rebuild local economies.Reform the H-1B Visa System with a Talent Floor Issue H-1B visas only for jobs paying over $400,000 or above the local 90th percentile wage, with automatic green card eligibility after two years.

Work should pay, and every American should have the chance to move up. That’s why I’ll raise the minimum wage, ban non-compete agreements, and make benefits portable so gig and contract workers are covered. I’ll also invest in trade schools, job training, and retraining programs so people can land good jobs in growing industries.

consumers to buy ACA plans across state lines through a federal exchange option to boost competition and reduce regional monopolies.Ban Harmful Food Additives Already Outlawed Abroad Prohibit five

Every American deserves affordable, quality health care. I’ll cap drug prices at what other countries pay, protect Roe v. Wade, and break up hospital monopolies that drive up costs. And I’ll expand free school meals, strengthen maternal health care, and boost the number of doctors and nurses so care is easier to find and afford.

<h2>Better and Cheaper Health Care</h2>

ARPA Life Moonshots Create a new research agency focused on fertility, aging, and biomanufacturing with milestone-based funding.Restrict Joint Ventures in Critical Tech Ban U.S. companies from forming joint ventures in China unless they retain at least 75% ownership and voting control in sensitive sectors like AI, semiconductors, biotech, and energy.Greenfield Campuses for Clean Tech and Biotech Pre-permit select DOE sites for nuclear and biotech facilities to dramatically shorten time to build.De-Risk Innovation with FDA/USDA Sandboxes Allow temporary conditional approval of frontier biotech and food innovations under strict safety guardrails.Faster Energy Permitting for Labs and Factories Set strict timelines for federal permitting of clean tech, semiconductor, and biotech facilities.NIH Fast Grants and R01 Reform Allocate 10% of NIH’s budget to fast-track small grants and reserve 35% of large grants for early-career scientists.Open Health Data Commons for Research Provide de-identified national health datasets and cloud infrastructure to support AI-enabled medical discovery.

America should lead the world in science and innovation. I’ll fund moonshot research on cures and aging, stop China from exploiting our tech, and pre-permit sites for clean energy and biotech so we can build faster. By cutting red tape and backing our scientists, we’ll keep the next breakthroughs made in America.

<h2>A Science and Innovation Powerhouse</h2>

Build More Housing Where People Need It Legalize apartments near transit, allow modular housing, and convert offices to apartments, cutting rents by increasing supply.Cheaper Cleaner EnergyAccelerate permitting and investment in nuclear, wind, solar, geothermal, and natural gas to bring down utility bills while keeping the lights on.End the Trump Tariffs That Raise Prices Repeal broad tariffs that function as hidden taxes on American families and businesses, while maintaining targeted national security restrictions on China where strategic supply chains are at risk.Modernize U.S. Shipping and InfrastructureRepeal the Jones Act so shipping between U.S. ports is cheaper &amp; repeal the Foreign Dredge Act to lower infrastructure costs by letting American projects use the best global equipment.Protect Social Security and Medicare Guarantee that Social Security and Medicare are fully funded and off-limits to cuts, so seniors can retire with dignity and health security.Cap Credit Card Interest Rates Set a national maximum interest rate of 18% APR on credit cards to end exploitative lending.Break Up Corporate Monopolies in Food Take on meatpacking giants and fund regional processors so families pay less at the grocery store.Right to Repair Guarantee consumers and small businesses the ability to fix electronics, vehicles, and farm equipment—lowering costs and extending product life.Expand Access to Capital for Small Businesses Grow support for community banks and CDFIs so local entrepreneurs can get the credit they need.Streamline Regulations for Small Businesses Partner with states to simplify state and federal rules, making it seamless to launch and grow businesses.Cut Farm Costs to Lower Food Prices Repeal tariffs on fertilizer, farm equipment, and animal feed to reduce costs across the food chain.Lift Sugar Import Barriers End outdated quotas and tariffs that keep grocery prices artificially high.Fast-Track HomebuildingCreate national and locally tailored catalogs of pre-approved housing plans for ADUs, duplexes, and small apartments to cut soft costs, speed permits, and make infill homes pencil out.Vacancy Tax for Empty Urban Storefronts Apply a federal vacancy tax on long empty commercial properties in dense cities to reduce blight and bring back small business retail.Simplify Tax Filing with IRS Direct File for All Let every American file taxes directly with the IRS for free, without paying costly preparers.Limit Presidential Power to Raise Tariffs Require congressional approval within 60 days for any presidential tariff that exceeds 2%, preventing surprise tax hikes on consumers and manufacturers.Federal Land Release for HousingAllow by right residential development on surplus federal land near metros and transit, with long term ground leases to states and cities.End the Carried Interest Loophole Close the hedge fund tax break that costs billions and make Wall Street pay its fair share.National Electricity Market ReformMandate interregional transmission planning and cost sharing across ISOs, with a single federal siting authority for major lines.Zero Based Review of Federal Housing RulesSunset FHA, HUD, and environmental rules unless reauthorized with cost benefit analysis.End the Litigation Doom Loop Set firm time limits on court injunctions for federally approved infrastructure so clean energy projects can be built after full review, cutting delays, lowering costs, and delivering power faster.&nbsp;&nbsp;Rejoin the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) Re-enter the Pacific trade bloc to boost U.S. exports and lower consumer prices by setting common labor and environmental standards.

I’m fighting to make everyday life more affordable. That means lowering credit card rates, building more housing, breaking up corporate monopolies that drive up food prices, and protecting Social Security and Medicare. Families should be able to keep more of what they earn and count on the basics without getting squeezed.

No president (Republican or Democrat) should be able to abuse power. I’ll limit emergency powers, ban political pardon abuse, and stop presidents from profiting off foreign business deals. And I’ll protect watchdogs like inspectors general so the government stays accountable to the people.

Our democracy should work for the people, not the powerful. I’ll ban stock trading in Congress, end gerrymandering with independent commissions, and require presidents to release their tax returns. I’ll fight to get dark money out of politics and give voters, not corporations, the loudest voice in our elections.

<h2>Reform Our Democracy</h2>

Solve the Case Grant Program Offer federal funding to police departments that raise homicide clearance rates and improve forensic capacity.Clear the Rape Kit Backlog Nationwide Fund every state to eliminate untested rape kits within 24 months and mandate ongoing 6-month turnaround.Improve Anti-Human Trafficking Programs Strengthen federal programs to combat trafficking and support survivors.Crack Down on Fentanyl Trafficking Tighten border enforcement and target supply chains while expanding addiction treatment and recovery services.Hire More Detectives, Not Just Patrol Officers Federal matching grants for local police to expand homicide and violent crime investigation units.Expand Community Violence Interrupters Fund evidence-based local programs that mediate conflicts and reduce shootingsSwift Sobriety Programs Expand court supervised sobriety and addiction recovery programs as an alternative to incarceration.Universal Background Checks for Gun Purchases Close loopholes in gun sales and require all buyers to pass a background check.Enact a Federal Red Flag Law Adopt a national law allowing temporary removal of guns from people who pose a danger to themselves or others.Straw Buyer Enforcement Crack down on straw purchasers and illegal gun dealers with stiffer penalties.Mental Health Response Units Fund civilian led crisis response teams to handle mental health calls instead of police.Ban Civil Asset Forfeiture Without Conviction Prohibit law enforcement from seizing assets unless a person is convicted of a crime.End Qualified Immunity Amend civil rights law to allow lawsuits against government officials who violate constitutional rights.

Every community deserves both safety and fairness. I’ll fund police to solve more violent crimes, ban civil asset forfeiture without conviction, and expand background checks to keep guns out of dangerous hands. I’ll also fight fentanyl trafficking, reduce human trafficking, and expand recovery programs so we tackle crime and addiction together.

Come grab a pint and let's talk about bringing change to Washington!

That means automatically placing qualified students in advanced classes, banning legacy admissions at elite colleges, and investing in trade schools and career training. I’ll also push for phone-free classrooms, transparent college cost data, and modern tools like AI tutoring to close learning gaps.

<h2>A 21st Century Education System</h2>

Young Child Supplement for Parents Provide $2,000 per year per child from birth to age 6, paid monthly, to help parents cover the cost of diapers, food, and care.12 Weeks of Paid Family Leave Require employers to provide up to 12 weeks of paid leave for new parents, delivered through private insurance (like workers comp), with a small business reinsurance backstop and tax credits to offset costs for smaller employers.Reduce Maternal Mortality and Support Mothers Expand access to birthing centers, doulas, and postpartum mental health care so every mother is safe and supported.Daycare Abundance Act Preempt zoning laws that block home based or center-based daycare and offer grants to convert empty commercial properties into childcare facilities.Employer Childcare Tax Credit Offer a 50% tax credit (up to $500,000) for companies that build or sponsor child care services, especially for small firms that pool resources.Expand Pediatric and Maternity Workforce Fund more residency slots for pediatricians, OB/GYNs, and midwives, especially in shortage areas.Universal Pre-K Seats Through Supply Expansion Tie federal aid to states opening more pre-K classrooms by converting underused school facilities or public buildings.Keep Lead Out of Kids’ Water Fund lead pipe removal, school testing, and filtered fountains to ensure safe drinking water for children.National Daycare Licensing Baseline Set a national safety baseline for daycare licensing and prohibit states from requiring college credits unless they fund them.Family Care Visa Expansion Double the cap on au pairs, extend their stays to four years, and allow hours worked to count toward a green card for long term caregivers.Expand Health Savings Accounts for Family Planning Allow tax free spending on IVF, egg freezing, and adoption fees and require Medicare to cover fertility diagnostics.Baby Wealth Fund (Invest America) Seed every newborn with $1,000 in a national investment fund that compounds tax-free until adulthood to help build generational wealth.Kids’ Chrono Feed RuleSocial platforms must deliver only follower based, chronological content to users under 16; algorithmic recommendations, autoplay playlists, and infinite scroll loops are disabled unless a parent opts in through verified supervision.

Raising a family shouldn’t break the bank. I’ll deliver a child supplement for young kids, guarantee paid family leave, and expand affordable childcare by cutting red tape and helping small businesses provide care. We’ll also tackle maternal health and clean up lead in schools and water so every child can grow up safe and healthy.
