This campaign will not take corporate PAC money, a cent from real estate companies or developers, or funding from any foreign or domestic lobbying groups. We are a grassroots movement, funded by service workers, teachers, labor organizers, artists, and our neighbors. The people who make this city run are the same people powering this movement. We believe in people over profit, every time.

We spend billions each year on endless war and weapons, while schools go underfunded and hospitals close. I’ll fight for a foreign policy rooted in diplomacy, accountability, and peace — not regime change or blank checks for authoritarian governments.

As your Congressman I will:

• Reject corporate PAC money from both foreign and domestic lobbying groups, including crypto.

• I vow to work to overturn Citizens United and end the influence of dark money in buying members of Congress.

• Build a just foreign policy by working with Progressive members of Congress to support and introduce legislation that prioritizes peace and human rights.

• I will fight tirelessly to dismantle the U.S. military-industrial complex and end endless wars. From Palestine to Yemen, from the Democratic Republic of Congo to Sudan, from Cuba to my own backyard in Missouri’s 4th, no parent or child should live in fear of bombs, sanctions, or starvation.

• We must end apartheid, the genocide, and the occupation of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, and we must stop all funding to Israel. Those funds should be reinvested in our own communities.

• For far too long, our tax dollars have fueled wars overseas, and the U.S. has provided blank checks to governments in violation of the Leahy Law. It’s time to end all global wars, care for our veterans, feed our own hungry, and become a nation that leads with diplomacy and moral clarity.
