Aisha’s Platform

Drive down costs on the basics: housing, healthcare, childcare, utilities, groceries, gas, and prescription drugs.

Aisha will fight to:

• Break up corporate monopolies and crack down on price-gouging.

• Lower utility bills and hold energy companies accountable.

• Raise the federal minimum wage so work pays enough to live.

• Expand paid family leave and universal childcare so people can afford to work, raise families, and care for loved ones.

People are working harder than ever and still falling behind. Aisha will fight to lower costs, raise wages, and make sure the American Dream is not reserved for the wealthy and well-connected.

Healthcare should be a right, not a bill that bankrupts a family.

Aisha will fight to:

• Pass Medicare for All.

• Lower prescription drug costs.

• Protect Medicare, Medicaid, and the Affordable Care Act.

• Protect reproductive healthcare nationwide, expand contraception access, and defend family planning.

No senior should have to work a second job just to survive. No family should go broke because someone gets sick. Aisha will fight for universal healthcare, lower drug costs, and the protection of Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security.

Build more affordable housing, protect renters, and help working families become homeowners.

Aisha will fight to:

• Increase federal funding for affordable, workforce, and social housing.

• Expand first-time homebuyer assistance.

• Protect renters from displacement and corporate landlord abuse.

• Make it easier to build housing near jobs, transit, schools, and services.

Aisha knows what it means to lose a home and still be a renter fighting for the dream of homeownership. In Congress, she'll fight for housing working people can actually afford.

We must protect the programs millions of Americans earned, paid into, and rely on.

Aisha will fight to:

• Protect Social Security from privatization.

• Defend Medicare and Medicaid from cuts.

• Restore and protect SNAP and food assistance.

• Strengthen benefits for seniors, people with disabilities, veterans, children, and working families.

Social Security is not a handout, it is earned. Aisha will fight anyone who tries to privatize it, cut it, or gamble seniors' retirement on Wall Street.

We can create opportunity in a changing economy while making sure workers are not left behind.

Aisha will fight to:

• Create good-paying union jobs.

• Support small businesses with targeted tax relief and incentives for local hiring and livable wages.

• Invest in American manufacturing, semiconductors, clean energy, and advanced technology.

• Expand workforce training, apprenticeships, and free tuition for community college and trade programs.

The economy should reward work, not just wealth. Aisha will fight for good-paying jobs, strong small businesses, workforce training, and an economy where working people can actually get ahead.

Every child has a right to quality public education, and every adult deserves a pathway to a good career.

Aisha will fight to:

• Protect Title I and IDEA funding.

• Expand tutoring, after-school, and summer programs.

• Provide free community college and tuition-free trade and occupational training.

• Cancel student debt and stop predatory student lending.

Education should open doors, not bury families in debt. Aisha will fight for strong public schools, debt relief, and career training that leads to good-paying jobs.

Repair roads, bridges, transit, water systems, broadband, and clean-energy infrastructure while creating good-paying jobs.

Aisha will fight to:

• Repair roads, bridges, and major public works.

• Fund robust public transit to reduce traffic, pollution, and household transportation costs.

• Invest in renewable energy infrastructure and reduce dependence on fossil fuels.

• Protect clean air and safe drinking water, and hold polluters accountable.

• Invest in wildfire mitigation, extreme-heat protections, and local disaster resilience.

• Expand high-speed internet access nationwide.

We can lower costs, create good-paying jobs, reduce pollution, and build safer communities at the same time. Aisha will fight for infrastructure that works for people, not polluters and special interests.

Defend freedom, equal protection, due process, and the dignity of every person.

Aisha will fight to:

• Protect reproductive freedom nationwide.

• Expand equal protection under the law and strengthen enforcement against discrimination in housing, employment, education, and healthcare.

• Protect civil liberties regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, disability, or immigration status.

• Create a secure, fair, and humane immigration system with due process and faster legal pathways.

• Hold law enforcement and immigration agents accountable when they break the law.

• Protect vulnerable communities from hate, violence, exploitation, and abuse.

Public safety means protecting people's lives, rights, families, and freedoms. Aisha will fight for safe communities, due process, reproductive freedom, and equal protection under the law.

Crack down on corruption in Washington and stop politicians from profiting while American families, seniors, workers, veterans, and communities struggle.

Aisha will fight to:

• Ban congressional stock trading and insider trading.

• Tighten regulations on lobbyists and stop corporate PACs from writing the rules.

• Make government spending transparent and accountable and end waste, fraud, and abuse.

Washington is broken, too corrupt, and captured by special interests. Aisha will fight to make our government work for the people again.

Stop wasting taxpayer dollars on endless wars and invest in people here at home.

Aisha will fight to:

• End wars that drain taxpayer dollars and drive up costs for American families.

• Put diplomacy, peace, human rights, and accountability first.

• Oppose blank checks to foreign governments without transparency, oversight, or a clear public interest.

• Reject war profiteering and hold defense contractors accountable.

• Redirect resources toward Americans' real needs: housing, healthcare, education, seniors, veterans, and working families.

If Washington can find billions for war, it can find the money to feed people, house families, and care for seniors. Working people are told there is no money for healthcare, housing, or Social Security while Washington spends billions on defense contractors. Aisha will fight to end blank checks, stop war profiteering, and put our tax dollars back into the people and communities that need them most.
