Campaign website

Todd’s campaign website stated the following:

“	The Palestine Massacre "I recognize the rights and dignity of the Palestinian people. Genocide must not be tolerated I advocate for a just and peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which respects the right to self-determination and sovereignty for Palestinians. I call for an immediate end to the occupation, the expansion of illegal settlements, and the blockade on Gaza, and support equality, and human rights for all individuals living in the region." Reparations "Reparations help to heal a past wrong. I support cash reparations for American Descendants of Slavery, the Indigenous People of our First Nations, and the millions of people around the world who have suffered from American interventions and hegemony, including the Palestinian people, where the United States is complicit in Genocide and starvation. As I say, 'Give me 40 acres and a mule and I will plow my own success'" American Foreign Policy "It's time to end the cycle of intervention and conflict. As your representative, I will advocate for an end to the American empire's role in global conflicts, including the needless wars and interventions that harm innocent lives from Palestine to Ukraine. Peace and justice must guide our actions abroad." Affordable Healthcare "I believe in universal healthcare as a basic human right. It ensures that everyone, regardless of their background or financial status, has access to essential medical services without fear of financial ruin. We need a system that will provide comprehensive coverage, including preventive care, primary care, mental health services, and emergency treatment. A commitment to universal healthcare reflects dedication to social justice, human dignity, and equitable access to healthcare for all." Climate Change and the Environment "The climate crisis isn't a distant threat; it's here, impacting our air, water, and communities. I'm committed to enhancing air and water quality and tackling the lead crisis head-on. Our children's future depends on the actions we take today. Let's stand together for a sustainable world."	”
