Fighting for Education, Families, and the Workforce

People at the Center

We believe in putting people first. There are times where we have to choose between our citizens and increasing profits - it's an easy decision for us. People will always be at the center of our votes and policies.

Education

As educated people in many ways, we know the value of a hard-won education and we understand that a traditional degree is not right for everyone. We want to encourage all routes of education for our citizens - particularly public options.

Workforce Issues

We have worked in various service jobs and fought to get into jobs we love. We know the struggles of trying to make ends meet when wages are stagnant and there are limited protections for workers. It is important to keep our workforce energized and benefitting us all.

Food Insecurity

In North Dakota, too many of our citizens are struggling to feed themselves and their families. 1 in 18 North Dakotans experience food insecurity, which goes beyond simply being hungry. We have an obligation as the breadbasket of our nation to feed our citizens.

Reproductive Rights

All people should be allowed to make their own medical choices without the input of their government. Access to abortion, emergency contraceptives, birth control, and all forms of sexual healthcare need to be enshrined as a right for all citizens.
