Sarah Smith is all for Medicare for All, abolishing ICE, a federal jobs guarantee, immediately retracting the Authorization for Use of Military Force from Trump’s fascistic fingers, and reducing military spending across the board.
Sarah Smith is young, she’s ambitious, and she’s worked regular-ass jobs helping regular-ass people dig themselves out of the muck of the housing crisis. And if she can beat 11-term incumbent Adam Smith, Sarah Smith would join New York’s Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and any other member of the Brand New Congress (a movement to bring “ordinary working people” to DC) who makes it through the general election to form an uncompromising bloc of progressives who want to get shit done in Congress—or at least be loud about the shit they want to get done.
