Campaign website

Guldner’s campaign website stated the following:

Livable Wages
Individuals who work a solid 40 hour week should be able to afford housing, utilities, food, clothing and other basic goods and services.

Universal Healthcare
Every individual should have access to quality health care services and medications. And nothing should get between a doctor and their patient; not an insurance company and not the government. This includes reproductive rights.

Gun Safety
We all deserve the freedom to gather in public spaces and schools safely. Guns should be registered. Gun owners should be tested and licensed. Guns should be insured. And open carry should be prohibited.

Conservation
The United States should be the world leader in climate change policies and climate friendly technology. Why protect the environment? Because we live here.
