The Five Fights

Five Fights.
Zero Compromises.

Not vague platitudes. Not focus-grouped buzzwords. Five concrete commitments to the working families of NJ-08 — funded by you, not corporate PACs.

Mussab was diagnosed with Stage 4 Hodgkin's Lymphoma at age 23. He beat it — but millions of Americans can't afford to fight. The incumbent won't even co-sponsor the Medicare for All bill. Mussab will be a Day One champion.

Co-sponsor and champion the Medicare for All Act — universal single-payer healthcare as a human right

No premiums. No copays. No deductibles. Coverage for dental, vision, mental health, and prescription drugs

Cap prescription drug prices — no family should pay more for insulin than a dinner out

Expand community health centers in Newark, Elizabeth, and Jersey City's underserved neighborhoods

"I got cancer at 23. I know what it's like to wonder whether you can afford to live. Healthcare is a right — not a privilege for people with good jobs."

Billionaires pay a lower effective tax rate than teachers and mail carriers. While working families in NJ-08 struggle to afford rent, the wealthy hoard wealth that should be invested in schools, healthcare, and housing.

Pass a wealth tax on fortunes over $50 million — make billionaires pay their fair share

Close corporate tax loopholes that let corporations like Amazon pay $0 in federal taxes

Tax capital gains as income — Wall Street shouldn't pay a lower rate than a nurse

Redirect revenue to NJ-08 — fund schools, healthcare, infrastructure, and affordable housing with wealth tax proceeds

"My father delivered mail for 24 years. My mother taught for 30. They paid their taxes every year. Meanwhile, billionaires paid less than them. That ends when I get to Congress."

45% of NJ-08 was born in another country. ICE raids terrorize families in Newark, Elizabeth, and Jersey City — masked agents pulling parents away from their children. Our immigrant neighbors don't need whispered sympathy. They need someone who'll say it loud.

Abolish ICE and replace it with a humane, accountable immigration system that respects due process

Create a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million undocumented Americans who already contribute to our communities

End family separations and immediately reunite children with their parents

Protect sanctuary cities and block federal funding penalties against municipalities that refuse ICE cooperation

"My family came here from Pakistan when I was 3. After 9/11, my mother was attacked for wearing a hijab. I will never be silent while immigrant families are terrorized."

We spend billions funding wars abroad while schools in our own district have lead in the water. Children in NJ-08 drink from contaminated fountains so defense contractors can hit quarterly earnings. Enough.

Cut the bloated Pentagon budget and redirect resources to healthcare, education, and infrastructure at home

End unconditional military aid to governments committing human rights violations

Require Congressional authorization for all military engagements — no more blank checks for war

Invest in diplomacy — fund the State Department, international development, and conflict prevention over military escalation

"We fixed lead in 14 schools in Jersey City. Imagine what we could do if we stopped spending trillions destroying schools in other countries."

If the same corporations funding Republicans are funding Democrats, how do we ever expect progress? This campaign has raised every dollar from working people. Average donation: under $100. That's not a limitation — it's a feature.

Pass publicly financed elections — small-dollar matching funds to amplify the voice of ordinary voters

Ban dark money — require full disclosure of all political spending and close Super PAC loopholes

Ban stock trading by members of Congress — public service shouldn't be a path to personal profit

Automatic voter registration and restore voting rights for returning citizens — democracy works when everyone participates

"Our average donation is under $100. We don't take a dollar from corporate PACs. Every policy on this page is accountable to working families — not lobbyists."

The Mussab Ali Pledge

Every candidate makes promises. Mussab makes commitments — backed by a track record of delivering. From $61K teacher salaries to $0 student lunch debt to zero board meetings missed through chemo. This isn't a wish list. It's a fight plan.
