"I AM RUNNING FOR CONGRESS TO PROTECT WORKING FAMILIES AND SENIORS." — QUINCY BAREEBE
"Fresh, energetic leadership to protect Maryland's families and build a stronger, more equitable future for the 5th District."
"As a working mother, she knows education is key. Quincy put herself and her younger siblings through college while working as a home health aid and a dishwasher at KFC. She will ensure real investment in our children's education from pre-K to debt-free community college, and career training to prepare our youth to achieve tomorrow's successes."
"Quincy will fight to protect homeownership by providing foreclosure assistance and counseling to homeowners in distress. She will champion expanded pathways to homeownership for working families. She supports creating a pathway to permanent housing ownership for Veterans and will work to make FHA and FCC grant rules more favorable to local co-ops and communities to help more people buy homes."
"As a former staffer of the Department of Defense, she will defend the pay, benefits, and job security of our 75,000+ federal workers against Donald Trump. She knows that federal workers are the backbone of our community. Quincy knows there is way too much income inequality in this country, and the federal government often chooses to side with the billionaires and corporate interests at the expense of working people."
"As a healthcare CEO, Quincy has seen firsthand the challenges working families face in providing their loved ones with quality care. Once a home care worker herself, Quincy founded a business that employs more than 70 healthcare professionals who provide assisted living services for seniors and care for children with chronic diseases. In Congress, Quincy will defend the Affordable Care Act (ACA), expand Medicare to cover dental and vision care, and fight to reduce prescription drug prices. Quincy Bareebe is committed to advancing universal health care."
