As your U.S. Senator, I will advocate for:

Stopping the war; bringing our troops home now: It's wrong to send our children to die for oil in Iraq. Unilateral invasions are wrong. I will work to reestablish the U.S. as a leader for human rights.

Single-payer universal healthcare: We are a wealthy nation, and can afford a comprehensive healthcare system for all.

Stop environmental destruction: I oppose commercial logging on public lands. We need a roadless policy in our national forests, and should support the Kyoto Protocol to prevent global warming.

Raise the minimum wage: We should provide living wages for all workers based on cost of living and a 40-hour work week. Repeal Taft-Hartley.

The Republican and Democratic parties are corrupted by corporate money. I'm a nurse practitioner, union member, and single mother. Send me to Washington, DC, I will work for a government that can't be bought.
