Thank you for the opportunity to share some thoughts with you. Our VIPs \u2013 our Volunteers in Politics \u2013 in our ongoing engagement for the people. Thank you for being a constant source of new, fresh ideas and political activism to help Democrats deliver and to defend democracy. Thank you for giving me the privilege to represent our city and our San Francisco values in the Congress. Human rights, reproductive justice, LGBTQ equality, respect for immigrants and care for each other. When people ask me, \u2018What are the three most important issues facing the Congress,\u2019 I always say the same thing: Our children. Our children. Our children. Their health, their education, the housing and economic security of their families, a clean safe environment in which they can thrive, and a world of peace and where they are all welcome in which they can reach their fulfillment. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>That is my \u2018why.\u2019 Why I\u2019m in Congress \u2013 for the children. This is my story. And this is my song. As you hear me say, \u2018when you\u2019re in the arena, you have to be able to take a punch, or throw a punch, for the children.\u2019 In terms of health, my first words on the floor of the house were to fight against HIV\/Aids. To fight the disease and discrimination. Working together we passed the Affordable Care Act, strengthened Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, lower prescription drug prices, and now are fighting COVID with equity. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>In San Francisco, the climate is not an issue. It is an ethic. Education, the economy, and the environment are all part of how we address the climate crisis, creating good paying green union jobs, affordable housing, clean energy, infrastructure, transportation justice, and education. Educating the next generation to succeed in safe schools with 21st century skills. Our safe communities require gun violence prevention, addressing the root causes of crime, and supporting law enforcement with justice in policing. Our vision for a world of peace requires a strong democracy at home, as an example to the world. We are grateful to our men and women in uniform, veterans, and military families, and honor their sacrifice with our insistence on securing voting rights and end the big dark money in politics and amplifying the voice of the grassroots. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>While we\u2019ve made progress, much more needs to be done to improve people\u2019s lives. Our democracy is at risk because of the assaults on the truth, the assaults on the U.S. Capitol, and the state by state assault on voting rights. This election is crucial. Nothing less is at stake than our democracy. But as we say, we don\u2019t agonize, we organize. And that is why I am running for re-election to Congress and respectfully seek your support. I\u2019d be greatly honored by it. And grateful for it.
