Belsito says Medicare for All, voting-rights act, abortion protections and housing will top her congressional agenda
Summary
In her Lynn City speech, Jamie Zalloway Belsito listed major policy priorities — Medicare for All, a voting-rights act, codified abortion care, rent control and abolishing ICE — arguing money in politics enables corporate actors to harm housing and health-care access.
Jamie Zalloway Belsito presented a policy platform that combined national and local priorities, calling for Medicare for All, a federal voting-rights act and codified protections for abortion care. "We need Medicare for all. We need a voting rights act. We need to codify abortion care, and we need to get money out of politics," she said.
Belsito tied national policy goals to local concerns, criticizing Wall Street and private equity for "buy[ing] up our housing" and saying rent control and housing affordability would be a local priority. She also said she supports abolishing ICE and pledged to work with state leaders on public-safety issues affecting Lynn City residents.
