“As a public health advocate for over a decade, I’ve seen firsthand how broken systems hurt families. I’m running for Congress to ensure every Marylander—regardless of income, race, or zip code—can access the care they need to live a full, healthy life.” — Alexis Solis
Our Commitment
Maryland’s 5th Congressional District faces urgent healthcare challenges—from rising costs to maternal health disparities to lack of access in rural and underserved communities. Alexis Solis brings over ten years of frontline public health advocacy experience to Congress, ready to fight for a system that puts people before profits and equity at the center of care.
Expand Access to Affordable Care
• Alexis supports expanding the Affordable Care Act and introducing a public option that gives every American the ability to choose high-quality, affordable health coverage.
• She will fight for increased subsidies to reduce premiums and out-of-pocket costs, and she supports automatic enrollment options to close gaps in coverage.
• She will work to expand Medicaid in every state and protect Medicare from privatization.
Address Maternal Health & Reproductive Justice
• As a passionate advocate for women’s health, Alexis will champion the Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act to address racial disparities in maternal outcomes.
• She supports full federal protection for reproductive rights, including access to contraception, abortion care, and fertility treatments.
• She will increase funding for community-based doulas and midwives, and fight for postpartum care coverage up to one year after birth.
Lower Prescription Drug Costs
• Alexis will fight for Medicare to negotiate lower prices for prescription drugs and cap out-of-pocket costs for seniors and families.
• She will support legislation to rein in pharmaceutical price gouging and increase transparency in drug pricing.
• She believes no one should have to choose between life-saving medication and paying their rent.
Expand Mental Health & Substance Use Treatment
• Alexis will push for full integration of mental health and substance use services into primary care, including school-based and mobile behavioral health units.
• She will advocate for trauma-informed care and culturally responsive mental health services, especially in communities of color.
• She supports increased federal funding for crisis response teams, suicide prevention programs, and opioid treatment and recovery services.
Community Health & Prevention
• Alexis knows that healthcare doesn’t start in the ER—it starts in our neighborhoods. She will fight for federal investment in nutrition assistance, lead abatement, clean water, and community clinics.
• She supports expanding funding for Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and mobile units to bring care directly to underserved communities.
• She will work to strengthen local public health infrastructure so counties can better prepare for future emergencies.
Protect Seniors and People with Disabilities
• Alexis will defend Medicare, expand home and community-based care, and increase protections against elder abuse and neglect.
• She supports increasing federal resources for caregivers and ensuring that aging Marylanders can access the services they need to remain independent and safe at home.
• She will fight to eliminate waitlists for disability services and streamline access to benefits.
Guiding Principle
Healthcare is not a privilege—it’s a human right. Alexis Solis has spent her career making that a reality for families in crisis, and she will bring that same urgency to Congress. In MD-5, she will make sure every family has the care they deserve, when they need it, without going broke.
