I am increasingly frustrated not only with the direction of our government but also with the lack of meaningful leadership and forward momentum from the Democratic Party. I do not support continuing with Chuck Schumer as the face of Democratic leadership. We need new voices, new energy, and leaders willing to challenge the status quo. Democrats cannot simply spend the next several years reacting to Trump. We need a vision of what we want America to become. I want to see Democrats champion an ambitious legislative agenda that includes: Healthcare: Medicare for All, affordable prescription drugs. Economic security: A meaningful increase in the federal minimum wage, affordable housing, universal pre-K, affordable childcare, and paid family leave. Education: Tuition-free public higher education and community college, stronger public schools, and expanded vocational training. Technology: Meaningful AI guardrails, data privacy protections, and accountability for technology companies. Government accountability: Investigate corruption, conflicts of interest, and abuses of power within the Trump administration. Specifically investigate FAA oversight, leadership, and potential corruption. Rebuilding government: Investigate the damage caused by DOGE, restore federal expertise and institutional capacity, modernize government operations, and reinstate USAID’s humanitarian and development capabilities. We can build a more effective government without dismantling essential institutions. Democracy: Protect voting rights, strengthen campaign finance laws, and support statehood for Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico so their residents have equal representation. Climate and infrastructure: Invest in clean energy, scientific research, public infrastructure, water security, and protecting public lands. Foreign policy: Move away from unconditional financial and military support for Israel. Israel is a wealthy, developed country capable of providing its own citizens with a substantial social safety net. American taxpayers should not indefinitely subsidize another country’s security while Americans struggle to afford healthcare, housing, and basic necessities. Apply consistent human rights standards to all foreign assistance while supporting civilian safety and diplomacy. I want a Democratic Party that prioritizes working families over corporate interests, invests in our children and communities, protects democratic institutions, and holds powerful people accountable. Please tell your constituents what you intend to fight for, what legislation you will advance, and how you plan to bring new leadership and meaningful progress to the party. We can do better than simply defending the past. We can build something better.
