In Congress, I will work for a thriving future for our district - reducing war taxes, investing in our communities, and supporting the health and self-determination of all people, at home and abroad. 

1. 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.
   
   
2. Inclusive and Supportive: As someone with global experience and strong pro-immigrant, pro-family values, Melissa champions an inclusive society where everyone, regardless of race, religion, or background, is supported and respected. She understands the unique struggles of our diverse communities and will fight for a future that uplifts all.
   
   
3. 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.
   
   
4. Defending Our Constitutional Rights: From freedom of speech to the right to assemble and worship, Melissa will protect the constitutional rights that form the backbone of our democracy, ensuring that all voices are heard and empowered.
   
   
5. Action for the Environment: Melissa recognizes that our district is disproportionately affected by environmental challenges, and she’s ready to take decisive action to address them.
