Foreign Policy & Trade: Standing for Workers Over Corporate Profits
For too long, America’s foreign policy and trade agreements have been hijacked by career politicians to serve short-term political theater and the unchecked greed of multinational corporations. Decades of weak trade enforcement and predatory outsourcing have hollowed out our domestic manufacturing towns, leaving working-class communities to suffer the consequences while corporate executives line their pockets by exploiting cheap labor abroad. This corporate-first globalization has fractured our local economies and left our nation dangerously dependent on fragile, volatile global supply chains. Military might and unilateral aggression cannot solve interconnected global challenges; a secure nation requires a foreign policy built on standard accountability, strategic restraint, and the firm belief that military intervention must always be a transparent last resort.
I am running for Congress to reshape our global strategy around fairness, human rights, and long-term stability at home and abroad. I will fiercely fight for trade agreements packed with ironclad labor protections and strict environmental standards, ensuring American workers can compete on a leveled playing field without being undercut by corporate exploitation. We must actively reinvest in our domestic production capacity, back our local innovators, and defend good-paying jobs right here in our neighborhoods. True global leadership means strengthening alliances with democratic partners, holding human rights violators accountable, and expanding robust humanitarian aid to tackle global instability at its roots. We can maintain economic strength and secure our borders without sacrificing our core principles—it is time to lead the world with dignity, cooperation, and unwavering moral clarity.
