First 100 Days
A Commitment to Restraint, Care, and Accountability.
In my first 100 days, I will introduce legislation guided by two principles: Government power must protect people in crisis—not overwhelm them; and when authority is exercised, restraint and care must come before coercion.
-
Sets national standards for law-enforcement conduct in hospitals and emergency settings, prioritizing de-escalation, limiting restraints to immediate danger, and preserving body-camera and hospital security footage.
-
Ties federal law-enforcement funding to trauma-informed training and graduated response standards, with independent review in hospitals, schools, and other sensitive settings.
-
Requires early notice of investigations, timelines where delay threatens health or livelihood, stronger anti-retaliation protections, and plain-language explanations of rights—especially in EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) cases.
-
Funds trained case navigators in VA facilities, ensures continuity during claims and appeals, expands pro bono legal access, and targets procedural delay.
-
Requires vulnerability screening before detention, limits force in civil immigration encounters, mandates the wearing of body-worn cameras by all immigration law enforcement officers when engaging the public, and expands legal orientation and case-management access.
-
Requires hardship review before aggressive debt collection, limits cascading fees during crisis, and expands CFPB authority over abusive practices.
-
Requires notice and mediation before eviction during documented crisis, expands emergency rental triggers, and strengthens protections against retaliation.
