- Progressive Policies for All: Melissa Chaudhry is leading the charge with progressive policies that prioritize affordable housing, equitable education, accessible healthcare, and a thriving economy. She’s determined to make sure everyone in the 9th District can afford a safe home, access quality education, and secure the healthcare they need.

She understands the unique struggles of our diverse communities and will fight for a future that uplifts all.
- Peace and Justice: Melissa is deeply committed to fundamental liberty and justice for all, advocating for a foreign policy centered on peace and diplomacy, and rejecting policies that lead to endless wars or erosion of human rights.
