Christy Smith in 2020 House elections


On Abortion: Will defend women's right to choose

She will ensure that women receive the same access to affordable health care as men. And Christy will always fight to protect a woman's right to choose and funding for Planned Parenthood and other providers who ensure that women have affordable options for a full range of reproductive health care.

On Education: Pay teachers a living wage and decrease student debt

Christy believes that a great education creates opportunity. In Congress, she will work to invest in local public classrooms so we can hire more teachers and reduce class sizes, and pay teachers livable middle class wages. Christy also wants to ensure students have options after K-12, without going into a lifetime of debt. She wants to increase the affordability and availability of options like job training, apprenticeships, technical school, and more affordable public colleges and universities.

On Health Care: Give public option healthcare to those who want it

Health care is a human right and while the Affordable Care Act was a tremendous step in that direction, Christy believes we need to do more to reduce costs, ensure that every American has access to affordable healthcare, and protect those with pre-existing conditions. That's why she supports a public health insurance option for anyone who wants it. Christy believes Congress needs to control the rising costs of prescription drugs.

On Immigration: Path to citizenship for DREAMers and law-abiding residents

We need to take steps to increase border security to protect against criminal activity and create a path to citizenship for law-abiding residents who live here and contribute here. America's strength is our diversity. In Congress, Christy will be dedicated to defending immigrant communities, including DREAMers and refugees from abuse and protect their basic human rights. Separating children from their families and putting them in cages is outrageous and un-American.
