The daughter of a single mother Army Veteran, Sharice Davids has advocated for justice and equity throughout her entire life. After earning a law degree from Cornell University, Davids took her advocacy to Washington, D.C. as a fellow in Barack Obama’s White House. Her experience in the capital motivated her to take further action for her communities. Since then, she has worked tirelessly with her Native American community, helping to create economic opportunities, programs, and initiatives. She also started a podcast titled “Starty Pants” to highlight rising entrepreneurs, particularly sharing her identities: women, people of color, and LGBTQ people.

Davids’ told priorities are the economy, education, and healthcare. On the economy, Davids wants to reverse the GOP’s tax scam, help small businesses, institute a child care tax credit, and expand broadband access to bring opportunity to all Americans, especially those in rural communities. On education, Davids supports full access to quality education and a loan forgiveness program for people entering public services. On healthcare, Davids believes that healthcare is a human right, that Medicare should be expanded, and that the government needs to take immediate action to reduce the maternal mortality rate of African-American women.
