She has a historic record of accomplishment, including: taking on Big Banks and protecting homeowners; prosecuting criminals and modernizing our criminal justice system; investing over $1 trillion in infrastructure projects, removing every lead pipe in America, and improving public transit; strengthening the Affordable Care Act; expanding health care for veterans; and enacting the first meaningful gun safety reform in decades. She is leading the charge to protect fundamental freedoms, including the right to an abortion and the right to vote.
