Welcome

My name is Cheryl Crist, and I’m running for Congress, because I still believe in hope and change.

Together, we have an amazing opportunity to change the priorities of our government. Government can be a place where we come together to build a brighter future. We can take this incredible power and use it to work for peace and sustainable prosperity for all people.  That is why I am running for Congress. We need a representative who values people over corporate profits, life over conquest, and economic and environmental sustainability over quick financial gain. With your help, we can make sure our representation remains true to the values we all share. 

My top three priorities in Congress will be

• People- We need a single-payer health care system. While I applaud President Obama and Congress for passing health care reform, I will keep working to ensure everyone has health care.  
  Send me to Congress and I’ll vote for affordable, universal health care.

• Peace- Changing our foreign policy requires wisdom and foresight. We need to value all life, not just Americans, and use our military for protecting people, not protecting profits.   
  Send me to Congress, and I’ll vote to end the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.
  

• Prosperity- Everyone has felt the effects of this recession, now we need everyone to feel the relief. We need to invest in transportation infrastructure, alternative energy, and well-paying, safe, union jobs.  
  Send me to Congress and I’ll be a vote for investment in green jobs and bottom-up economic recovery.
  

We need a voice in Congress that does not compromise our values but rather votes with her conscience and stands up for what needs to be done. I need your help to make this happen.  Join my campaign and make your voice heard.

Send me to Congress to vote for peace, health care, prosperity, and a healthy planet, and together, we can bring government back on the side of people.
