Moderate Democrats, what policies would motivate Sarah to vote in a hypothetical 2020 Presidential Election?

Sarah is a hypothetical voter who is a black, 35-year-old single-mom of 2 kids in elementary school. She lives in the industrial midwest and was laid off from her auto part manufacturing job in 2007. She got a new manufacturing job in the years that followed, but it was outsourced 2 years ago and Sarah now works 3 part-time jobs to support her family. She has an Obamacare policy, but can’t afford the large deductible and therefore doesn’t go to the doctor. She is counting on Social Security for retirement. Due to Gerrymandering, voting in a presidential election requires waiting in long lines and taking time off work (which she can’t afford).

What policies does the “moderate Democratic” platform offer Sarah to get her excited enough to overcome those large personal sacrifices to turn out to vote for a moderate Democrat candidate in a hypothetical 2020 run?
