Elizabeth Warren

I pledge to vote for the candidate in each race who I feel best embodies Democratic Party principles, and either pledges to do so (for those who have not already established a record) or whose voting history shows that they actually do support those principles (for those who have already served in office).

The candidate who best supports raising the American people out of poverty, creating living wages, strengthening the safety net for those temporarily or permanently unable to work, whether through disability, discrimination, or simple inability to get hired on to jobs they are trained for and for which they have applied. The candidate who places human rights above corporate rights, who believes that police should de-escalate rather than escalate, that they are truly meant to protect and serve the people, including protestors, rather than to seek excuses to arrest and assault them and prevent them from protesting. The candidate who realizes that minorities in America still face large struggles to get anywhere near equality and that it is the government's role to protect them and support them in achieving equality, not to place obstacles in their way. The candidate who understands the demand drives real, sustainable economic growth, and that less inequality of wealth distribution increases demand. The candidate who understands that climate change is real and must be dealt with proactively to avoid driving billions around the globe into starvation and poverty. The candidate who seeks peace and stability, rather than always looking for wars to jump into, and understands that America is strongest when it acts in accord with the other countries of the world, rather than trying to always take control.
