Liberty and Justice for ALL
All men and women are created equal with the fundamental right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
When the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the federal protection for women to decide their own reproductive path, they put the protection of a basic human right of all those able to bear children in the hands of state legislatures. They also voiced their intent to overturn the federal protection to marry whom we choose and put that basic human right in the hands of state legislatures. Republican-led state legislatures have already taken away reproductive healthcare rights, and Republicans are hoping to take over other state legislatures in future elections so they can do the same. They also hope to take over the U.S. Congress and Senate to put federal restrictions in place.
State legislatures set the tone for the entire nation, and when they take away our rights, we are no longer free. If you value your rights, if you value liberty and justice, if you value freedom, vote for Democrats.
Authoritarianism on the Rise
As teenagers, many of us rebelled against our parents telling us what we can’t do. As adults, we want the freedom to make our own decisions and don’t want our government telling us what we can’t do. Yet, many Republican-led state legislatures are acting as though they are our parents. They are telling us we can’t choose our own reproductive healthcare path. If the U.S. Supreme Court follows through with overturning federal marriage equality protection, Republican-led state legislatures will tell us who we can’t marry.
We couldn’t kick out our parents, but we can kick out Republican authoritarian legislators by electing Democrats to save Democracy.
Environmental Justice
We have the right to life. To live, we need clean air, clean drinking water, and chemical-free food. We must be good caretakers of our natural resources and utilize environmentally friendly practices throughout the Commonwealth.
Economic Justice
The key to a thriving economy is jobs. People who live in rural communities need local jobs. They need local businesses for employment and to meet their basic needs.
Education Equality
Education is the best weapon. The way out of poverty, the path to a better democracy, and the road to equality and justice is through education. Students in low-income communities deserve the same high-quality education as those in higher income communities.
Healthcare Equality
Healthcare is a human right. Medical decisions must remain between patient and medical provider without government interference. Healthcare should not be withheld on the basis of age, race, color, religion, sex, gender identity, or national origin.
Pro-Choice is the right to choose your own religion, your own marriage partner, your own reproductive healthcare, your own life path. Authoritarians are not pro-choice; they want to make these decisions for you. Will you choose to elect an authoritarian or a Democrat?

Your right to choose your own life path, to make your own decisions, depends on your vote.
