We are not a stable nation anymore whether it be Constitutionally or financially. We have lost sight of the core principles that bring us all together and make us strong. The Campaign's Platform titled our "13 Stripes of Strength" addresses this.
Common Sense Solutions for Uncommon Times.
For example. One of our "13 Stripes of Strength" is our “C.U.B.S. Act”. (Child Unity Break Stipend) Providing families relief when it comes to child care, needs to become a priority. Seeing that children who are young and impressionable receive proper care and development is a better use our nation’s resources than handing out $2,500 checks for people to have a child. If one needs money that badly then the likelihood, they can afford the costs associated with raising another child doesn’t rise to the occasion of reality. Hence, the aforementioned “Common Sense Solutions for Uncommon Times”.
Character Matters
Anthony Stebbins (L)
I believe in decriminalization of drugs at the federal level, as this appears to be more of a states rights issue.
Cut foreign aid off. COMPLETELY. We are becoming what we fought against. Imperialistic by buying influence and thus enforcing our will. We need to settle the corruption in our own government and our own problems first.

Science, Space and Technology - We have watched Science take a back seat to conspiracy the last ten years. That needs to change immediately. Science is ever evolving. We have lost sight of that.
Ethics - Either we bring back accountability or we need to change its definition. I have always been a firm believer in it never being the wrong time to do the right thing. What one does when no one is watching is a testament to their character. Individuals in our government need to strive to be the best of the best. Leading by example should be the central starting point.
Transportation & Infrastructure – President Biden’s Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act is so good that the Republicans that voted against it continue to take credit for it in their districts! The internet was once dubbed the Information Superhighway. Seeing that it is included in infrastructure legislation needs to become commonplace.
Ways & Means – America is at its strongest when programs that are focused on the health and well-being of her people are funded and supported. Rebuilding the middle class is often talked about but never a priority in terms of a plan or execution. It starts here.Anthony Stebbins (L)

General election race ratings
- See also: Race rating definitions and methods
Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:
- Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
- Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
- Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[1]
- Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.
Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[2][3][4]
