What makes America great are its principles of justice, democracy and freedom. What makes America great is its Constitution and the rule of law that ensures no one is above the law and that the legal system operates fairly and reliably.
But when people are pawns for the powerful instead of the power coming from the people, America no longer works.
Unfortunately, the systems of law created and designed to bring accountability, assurance and protection are no longer working.
A future where wages are liveable, where hard working families can not only keep up with the rate of inflation, but get ahead, a future where young people can have hope to afford a home, a future of safety and security, where we can trust those whose job it is to protect us, a future where we are not judged by the color of our skin but by our qualifications and character.
A future where regardless of natural origin, every hard working individual who positively contributes to the fabric of society can finally come out of the shadows and have a place at the table. A future where the only servants are those we elect. We need leaders who understand that public service is a duty, not a game. For me, it’s not about power. It’s always been about people. I’m Lisa Ramirez, candidate for Congress.
