Platform

Family Stabilization

• Neighborhood Mothers Group: The strength of communities lies in mothers' strength. Encouraging neighborhood mothers' groups are critical to neighborhood stability and women’s mental health. Division in America is partly due to an eroded sense of neighborhood. Strengthening neighborhoods will build stronger communities.

​​​

Tax Reform

• Taxation: New Yorkers are over-taxed, especially our working families. Finding avenues to fair taxation is key. Federal policies need to put states like NY into consideration when additional taxes are modified.​

​​

Public Safety

• Grassroots Support: Support streets and community organizations that are working to suppress the prevalence of guns and violence in the communities. This initiative would strengthen community power to intervene early and assist law enforcement agencies.​

​

​

Education

• Only 38 percent of American people have bachelor’s degrees: It is important that we make college affordable and reachable so that America remains competitive on the world stage. America is behind and we need to lead in the number of people with a college education.​

Women's Rights

• Codify Roe v. Wade!

• Violence Against Women Act

Voting Rights

• Voting Rights: Protect and strengthen Voting Rights Act (VRA). Our democracy depends on citizen engagement. Protect voting rights for all Americans, especially minorities who have been disenfranchised for generations.

Workforce Development

• America COMPETES Act:  Encourage the U.S. Senate to send the COMPETES Act to the President for signature. The COMPETES Act will make training and education accessible and affordable to encourage people to enter the manufacturing industry and close labor shortages. It will help build and strengthen American-made goods as well as the supply chain. Boosting our supply chain will reduce inflation as more goods would be available.​

​​

Healthcare

• Affordable Health Care: Chol will support solutions that provide health care to more Americans. Costs are already out of reach for many and there is a need for bipartisan discussion to address this crisis. Chol will work with all representatives to find a solution to this problem. Access to affordable health care is not a Republican or Democratic problem, it is an American problem that needs a collaborative approach.

Support for Rural Americans

• Support H.R.2361: Support rural communities with childcare services, revitalization plans, educational opportunities, workforce development and quality affordable housing.
