Want an experienced candidate with fresh ideas instead of stale talking points? As a former teacher, I have a plan to fully fund schools and improve school performance while enacting social-media safeguards for kids. I'll cut red tape, fund affordable housing, childcare, and transit, and fix regressive taxes.
