Elijah Dixon
Candidate for Congress, NJ-12
I believe access to affordable healthcare and housing are human rights, and government should work for people — not corporations. Be part of a people-powered movement for a fairer economy.
Healthcare is a right — not a privilege.
No one should delay care or face bankruptcy because they got sick. I support a strong public healthcare option that guarantees access, lowers costs, and treats care as essential infrastructure.
Climate action should protect health, homes, & futures.
We need climate-forward infrastructure that delivers clean air and water, resilient neighborhoods, and reliable energy — while ensuring no community bears an unfair share of pollution, risk, or environmental harm.
Housing stability matters at every stage of life.
Families, seniors, and young people alike deserve homes they can afford, neighborhoods they can rely on, and housing policies that support stability — not speculation, displacement, or runaway costs.
International law must be enforced — not selectively applied.
I will vote to uphold U.S. obligations under international law and human rights conventions. That means ending U.S. support for Israel’s genocide in Palestine and opposing all war crimes, collective punishment, and unlawful occupation.
Electricity is essential infrastructure.
Our power system should be built to serve the public — not extract from it. We need a modern, publicly accountable grid that delivers reliable, affordable, clean energy while protecting families from shutoffs, and price shocks, .
ABOUT ELIJAH DIXON
Bringing Experience to Political Leadership
Dream Forward is the congressional campaign of Elijah Dixon — a father, community builder, and democratic socialist running for Congress in New Jersey’s 12th District. The campaign is grounded in lived experience and shaped by years of organizing, institution-building, and work at the intersection of economic development and community stability.
At its core, Dream Forward is centered on dignity, care, and accountability. It seeks not only to inspire supporters, but to organize and mobilize people around a shared belief: that government should actively improve everyday quality of life for working families. The campaign reflects Elijah’s personal story, deep community roots, and a policy platform driven by values rather than political convenience.
The campaign’s priorities include establishing a public healthcare option, advancing universal childcare, expanding paid family leave, affordable and stable housing, introducing climate-forward investments, and an approach to foreign policy that is rooted in our shared humanity. Dream Forward distinguishes itself as a people-first campaign, focused on reducing economic precarity, expanding collective security, and delivering tangible improvements through action.
