My approach to foreign policy is grounded in the same values that inform my domestic priorities – empathy, inclusiveness, and a belief that the solutions to our most important challenges should be informed by the people most impacted. The people closest to the pain, should be closest to the power, driving and informing the policy making.

When it comes to foreign policy, my goals are to:

• Focus on a people-centered approach to global affairs. America must serve as an example, by lifting up the voices and experiences of different communities - especially women and girls - as part of the development of foreign policy.
• Re-establish America as a compassionate leader in the international community. America has a critical role to play as an international leader, and it is unconscionable that the Trump Administration has chosen antagonism and isolation. We must be committed to using our economic and political strength to globally affiirm human rights and democratic values.
• Prioritize diplomacy and promote peace. I believe it is imperative that we reframe our approach to international affairs to promote foreign aid and strategies that will prevent conflict in the long-term, rather than relying on military might.
