Nikki Lambert is a staunch progressive who believes that her rights should not be acquired or maintained at the expense of others' rights, that war is a last resort only when all other options have failed, that it is crucial to protect and preserve our environment, that a strong middle class is the foundation of a healthy economy, that the needs of citizens should be socialized, that capitalism must be regulated, that elections should be publicly-financed with private and corporate campaign donations made illegal, and that government should work for the People. She also feels rather bizarre writing about herself in the third person.
