had a substantial presence in Cedar Rapids, promoting a five-point

I pledge to fight for a $15 minimum wage tied to inflation and collective bargaining and to work on behalf of the American worker instead of corporate donors.
Medicare for All
I pledge to fight for a Medicare for All healthcare system that transforms healthcare in this country into a right, not a privilege.
Green New Deal
I pledge to fight for a 10-year plan to mobilize every aspect of American society to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions and create millions of new high wage jobs building the infrastructure and industries of the new economy.
College for All
I pledge to fight for free College for All so that everyone can get to live the American dream, not just the wealthy elite.
End The Corruption
I pledge to fight for a constitutional amendment to ban the private financing of elections and to use all available paths to that amendment so we can once again have free and fair elections.
