We deserve an immigration system that is secure, efficient, and humane, one that enforces the law while also reflecting our values as a nation.

Right now, the system is too slow, too confusing, and too inconsistent. That hurts everyone, immigrants trying to follow the rules, families waiting in limbo, and communities that deserve a system they can trust. Reform isn’t just about enforcement, it’s about fixing the process so it actually works.

We believe in accountability and fairness. Laws matter, and they should be followed. But government has a responsibility to ensure that people have a clear, timely, and functional path through the system. When the system is broken, it creates chaos, not order.

Zyon’s approach to ICE reform focuses on both accountability and efficiency:

• Fix the backlog so cases are processed faster and people aren’t stuck waiting for years

• Create a clear, streamlined process so individuals who are following the law can move through the system efficiently

• Prioritize enforcement on serious public safety threats, not families and workers contributing to our communities

• Increase oversight and transparency in detention facilities to ensure humane treatment and accountability

• Guarantee due process protections, so outcomes are fair, consistent, and constitutional

• Improve coordination and training so enforcement is smart, targeted, and effective

We can be a nation of laws and a nation of opportunity at the same time. That means holding people accountable, while also making sure the system itself is efficient, fair, and worthy of trust.

Immigration reform isn’t about choosing between security and compassion, it’s about delivering both.

This campaign is built on one simple idea: our representatives should answer to the people, not powerful interests.

That’s why we are committed to running a campaign funded by everyday people, not corporate influence.

We do not accept donations from Corporate PACs. Corporate PAC money too often comes with expectations that put profits ahead of people, and we believe your voice should never be outweighed by a corporate check.

We also do not accept funding from AIPAC or similar outside influence organizations. Our campaign is focused on representing the needs, values, and interests of the people in this district, period.

Instead, we are proud to be powered by:

• Small-dollar donors

• Working families

• Local supporters who believe in real change

This isn’t just about where money comes from, it’s about who this campaign belongs to.

When you contribute, you’re not buying access, you’re investing in a campaign that is accountable only to you.

Women’s rights are human rights, and they should never be up for debate.

We believe every woman deserves the freedom to make decisions about her own life, body, and future. That includes access to quality healthcare, equal opportunity in the workplace, and the ability to live safely and with dignity.

Right now, too many women are facing barriers that limit their opportunities and autonomy. From unequal pay to gaps in healthcare access, we still have work to do to ensure that every woman, no matter her background, has a fair shot.

Zyon’s priorities for women’s rights include:

• Protecting access to reproductive healthcare, including contraception, sufficient funding for alternatives, focusing on the mental and physical health of mothers.

• Expanding maternal healthcare, ensuring women have access to quality prenatal and postnatal care.

• Closing the pay gap and enforcing equal pay for equal work.

• Supporting working families through enacting a mandatory paid maternity leave and affordable childcare.

• Combating domestic violence and protecting survivors with stronger resources and accountability.

• Ensuring equal opportunity in education, business, and leadership.

This is not about politics, it’s about respect, freedom, and fairness.

When women are supported, families are stronger, communities are healthier, and our economy grows. Protecting women’s rights means building a future where everyone has the opportunity to succeed.
