I’m running for Congress because we need more people in power for whom policy is personal — we’ll get better outcomes that way.
Over the past year, I’ve had the chance to write about some of the fresh ideas I’ll fight for in Washington:

We need a #GreenNewDeal that centers frontline communities that have been hardest hit by environmental injustice.
In @hlpronline, I wrote about what a GND should look like — investments in low-income communities and communities of color. https://harvardlpr.com/2020/06/14/the-case-for-green-investments-in-low-income-communities-and-communities-of-color/

The poverty line, which determines how we provision vital social services, hasn’t been revised since the 1960s.
In @crookedmedia, I laid out the case for raising the poverty line, to allow millions more families to benefit from programs like SNAP. https://crooked.com/articles/raise-the-poverty-line-now/

The US has never had an openly gay black member of Congress. It’s no surprise then that LGBTQIA people — especially those of color — suffer worse outcomes in health care, housing, and education.
In @outmagazine, I wrote about how I would change that. https://www.out.com/commentary/2019/11/27/why-im-running-be-americas-first-black-gay-congressman

The Supreme Court has spent two decades systematically undermining voting rights, fair elections, and campaign finance reform.
In @Salon, I wrote that to save democracy, we must expand the Supreme Court. https://www.salon.com/2020/04/26/to-save-our-democracy-we-must-expand-the-supreme-court/

After a horrific attack on my Jewish neighbors in Monsey, I wrote in @lohud about the history of solidarity between the Black and Jewish communities, and how I hope to continue that legacy. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.lohud.com/amp/2830810001
I also wrote about how the COVID pandemic exposed the weaknesses of our social safety net, and how building stronger programs — like Medicare for All and paid sick leave — are not just the right thing to do, but the smart thing to do for all of us. https://amp.lohud.com/amp/5058180002
In the throes of the COVID crisis, when Congress was debating how best to respond to the pandemic, I laid out my plan for a people’s recovery in @NyackNewsNViews.

Most recently, I offered my thoughts about systemic racism in @TeenVogue.
To truly end the scourge of systemic racism, we need to be talking not only about police killings and criminal justice reform, but also inequalities in health care and education. https://www.teenvogue.com/story/mondaire-jones-black-lives-matter-racism/amp

Finally, in @NyackNewsNViews, I gave my closing argument.
If you remember one thing about me as you vote today, let it be this: I’m running for Congress because, for me, policy is personal.
I hope to have earned your support. https://www.google.com/amp/s/nyacknewsandviews.com/2020/06/2020-congressional-representative-closing-arguments-mondaire-jones/amp/
