Okay, before this goes any further you need to read Dr. Stephanie Kelton’s The Deficit Myth (https://bookshop.org/a/97093/9781541736191). Your experience with state government is terrific, but you need to stop thinking the federal government, like that state government, relies on tax revenues to fund programs. Otherwise, you're cutting yourself off at the knees.
The national debt has nothing to do with federal spending. There are ample reasons for raising taxes on the wealthy, because most of that "debt" reflects how much currency that should be moving through the economy they're hoarding to gamble with and drag more currency out of the economy. That the Pentagon's war budget is bloated beyond anything remotely necessary and needs to be trimmed back to a sane level is a given. However, for anyone on the left to continue repeating the lie that either of those is necessary to fund social programs plays right into the hands of those who are responsible for them.
In a week/month/year of bleak developments, your campaign for Congress is a bright beacon of hope!
The beacons are LITTTTT
Oh yes let’s GOOOOO!!! I will donate and do whatever I can to support your campaign.

Good luck. Your first name might pose a hurdle but success of Mamdani gives hope. Although that was in New York.
Salaam means "peace". The only adversary for that is the military-industrial complex.
Love it!!
