"We're going to have to really be on a road to committing to the American people that when they need a doctor, they will get one. I am very much a proponent of Medicare for all. I understand from all pragmatic sensibilities that may not happen in our lifetime, but courageous Democrats need to be pushing towards care for all, for every single person in this country, regardless of their status."
"It's extremely important that we are setting up the framework for 2028 to rebuild government institutions that have been torn down to their studs."
Lateefah Simon was sworn into Congress representing the East Bay during Trump's return to power, marked by aggressive deportation campaigns, tariffs, and cuts to social services. Simon is part of a vocal Democratic coalition pushing for bolder stances against Trump's radical agenda. Unlike colleagues seeking media attention, Simon focuses on passing legislation benefiting her constituents in Oakland, Berkeley, San Leandro, Emeryville, and Albany. She advocates strongly for Medicare for All, believing courageous Democrats must push toward universal healthcare access for all people on U.S. soil regardless of immigration status. Simon also emphasizes election protection and rebuilding government institutions damaged during Trump's administration, viewing these as critical priorities for 2028.
