Who is Lindsey Ferreira?
My name is Lindsey Ferreira, and I’m running for U.S. Congress to primary and unseat Democrat incumbent, Greg Landsman.
My campaign is a 100% grassroots, people-powered campaign that takes absolutely no AIPAC, super PAC, or corporate monies. I refuse to be beholden to billionaires, the Washington elite, or lobbyists who contribute to the systems of inequity, apartheid, poverty, and systematic oppression both here in the US and across the world.
A little about me:
I’m a disabled Navy veteran, Muslim woman, activist, community volunteer, parent, and small business owner.
I’m not just running a campaign, but a people-powered movement to stand against the corruption of the current political establishment. I’ll fight to protect and regain our democracy, protect the constitution, and hold corrupt politicians in Congress accountable for their attempts to denigrate our constitutional rights. Their support and enabling of our current constitutional crisis is untenable, and worse, unforgivable.
Further, I’ll fight tooth and nail to lower the costs of healthcare, vision, and dental care and create a pathway to a United States that doesn’t reserve health and wellness for the ultra-wealthy.
My goals are simple, but the fight will be arduous.
I’m going to fight to lower the cost of housing.
I’m going to bolster and expand Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, and childcare,
I’m going to fund and protect public education.
I’m going to fight to make sure people can make their own reproductive and healthcare decisions.
I’m going to fight for equal rights at every turn.
And last, but certainly not least, I’m going to raise the federal minimum wage to a livable wage.
Campaign Goals & Actions
One of the major missions of my campaign is creating a movement towards creating a government that is for the people by the people. It’s time for our seat at the table. This involves getting my campaign supporters, regardless of where they live, involved in their own communities and neighborhoods to create change from the ground up.
The campaign is going to set up community fairs and workshops where people can get plugged into volunteering with local organizations, joining groups, receiving education about effective activism and protesting, organizing mutual aid programs etc.
We’re going to be setting up resource events in different communities with county programs, and organizations where community members can hopefully get set up with needed services, register to vote, get library cards etc.
We’re also hoping to be able to set up a career fair with all union based companies for community members to get connected with union jobs.
I’ll be doing multiple meet and greet events, some that are themed, ie bring your dog/cat meet and greet, coffee and brunch, a cookout, and town halls
I’m going to be doing livestream meet and greets on TikTok for supporters outside of Cincinnati to be able to meet, say hey and ask questions.
I’m going to be holding educational events both virtually and in person, working with different organizations and professionals to talk about and teach people what their legal rights when they are dealing with cops and actual ICE agents, and their rights when dealing with ICE impersonators, starting and building mutual aid programs, and making sure everyone gets a fair shot, treating folks with respect no matter where they come from or what they believe, and helping people understand how our government really works from Congress and the President all the way down to local town halls and school boards.
I’m going to be going to assisted living facilities, nursing homes, and hospitals in Cincinnati to do a meet and greet and pet therapy with my service dog Gus.
