ECONOMY The world stands at a crossroads, with the looming challenges of a staggering $34 trillion national debt in the United States, rising geopolitical tensions, and the urgent need for international financial harmonization. It is within this context that I present a revolutionary economic vision, one that not only addresses these challenges but also charts a new course for our economic future. My vision is encapsulated in the P→P→S (Peace → Prosperity → Security) economic formula, a groundbreaking approach that reimagines the way we perceive and interact with our economic, social, and political environments. At its core, this formula is not just a theoretical construct but a practical blueprint for action, encompassing everything from merging the U.S. and Chinese currencies to harmonizing global accounting standards. It is an invitation to embark on a transformative change journey, where bold ideas like the unification of IFRS and CAS are both possibilities and achievable realities. Imagine a world where financial systems are seamlessly integrated, where economic policies are crafted not in isolation but as part of an interconnected global framework. Envision an economy that is robust and equitable, where prosperity is not the privilege of a few but the right of all. My economic proposals guide such a world, offering insights into how my P→P→S formula can be implemented across various domains, from congressional legislation to international financial standards. It is a narrative of hope, outlining a future where economic stability, social harmony, and national security are not mutually exclusive but mutually reinforcing. I invite you to engage with these ideas, to challenge them, and to consider their implications for our collective future. Whether you are a voter, policymaker, an economist, a business leader, or simply an individual concerned about the future of our world, my formula has something for you. It is a call to action, urging you to be part of a movement that seeks to understand the world and change it. Let us embark on this journey together toward a future where peace, prosperity, and security are not just dreams but our new reality. EDUCATION As a congressional candidate, I am deeply invested in education reform. The current system is failing too many of our children, leaving them unprepared for the challenges of the 21st century.

This section of our campaign explores the complex causes behind increasing expenses and examines how career politicians by both political parties have influenced our economic policies. As we move towards the 2024 election, I present innovative solutions to combat inflation and make prosperity achievable for every San Diegan. Discover innovative solutions and join the movement for economic prosperity. Let’s make living in San Diego affordable for everyone. HOMELESSNESS I am Fuji, a candidate not defined by traditional party lines, but rather by a commitment to serve the needs of our community. As an educator, technologist, and proven elected official, I have witnessed firsthand the complexities and the human impact of homelessness in our beloved city. I want our campaign to be more than just a platform for ideas; it’s a call to action, a beacon of hope, and a roadmap towards meaningful change. San Diego, a city known for its stunning landscapes and vibrant culture, is also home to a growing population of individuals, families, and veterans who find themselves without a place to call home. This crisis of homelessness is not just a challenge; it’s an opportunity for us to come together, regardless of our political affiliations, to forge a future where everyone has access to the basic necessity of shelter. I am not just running for office; I am advocating for a cause that affects us all. Homelessness is a testament to our collective will to enact change. It is a promise that homelessness will be addressed, reduced, and ultimately, transformed into a story of success and hope. Join me in this mission. Your support, insights, and participation are vital in shaping a future where no San Diegan is left without a home. Together, let’s turn ‘Homelessness’ from a statement of intent into a reality of compassion and progress. LEGISLATION As a congressional candidate, my pledge to keep voters well-informed is a testament to my commitment to accountability, transparency, and competency. It is a promise to engage constructively with my constituents and work tirelessly to pursue legislation that serves the public interest. This open communication strategy is foundational to earning the trust and support of the community I aspire to represent. TECHNOLOGY Imagine a government where every action is transparent, decisions are made efficiently, and public services are just a mouse click or spoken phrase (Siri, Alexa, etc.) away. That’s the future I am committed to building. This is more than just a campaign promise; it’s a blueprint for a smarter, more responsive government. Your vote for me is a vote for a future where technology and government work hand in hand to serve our 51st Congressional District voters, businesses, schools, and taxpayers better. Visit the ‘Technology’ section of my campaign website to see how together, we can build a brighter, more efficient tomorrow. Comprehensive Universal Healthcare As a congressional candidate, this is not just a policy issue for me; it’s a personal crusade. Healthcare is a right, not a privilege, and the well-being of our citizens directly influences the health of our nation. Imagine a country where every individual, regardless of their financial status, has access to quality healthcare. This vision isn’t just about alleviating suffering; it’s about unleashing the full potential of our greatest asset – our people. Healthier citizens mean fewer sick days, increased productivity, and a more dynamic workforce. It’s not just a dream; it’s a practical, achievable goal that can propel our nation forward. As I campaign for a seat in Congress, my focus is on turning this vision into reality. A comprehensive universal healthcare system isn’t just morally right; it’s economically smart. It’s about lifting the burden off businesses, especially small ones, and creating a more equitable society where health disparities are a thing of the past. It’s about building a healthier, more resilient workforce that can drive innovation and growth in our economy. IMMIGRATION REFORM As a seasoned immigration advocate with extensive experience in the U.S. immigration court system, I understand firsthand the critical need for genuine immigration reform. Having worked closely with immigrants, I have witnessed the complexities and challenges they face due to the current system’s inefficiencies and shortcomings. My journey through the labyrinth of immigration law has equipped me with a unique set of skills and insights. I have navigated the intricate processes of asylum cases, visa applications, and deportation defenses. This experience has not only deepened my understanding of the law but has also instilled in me a profound sense of empathy for those seeking a better life in the U.S. My commitment is to transform the U.S. immigration system into one that is both efficient and humane. I envision a system where fairness prevails, backlogs are minimized, and every individual’s dignity is respected. My proposed policies focus on streamlining processes, enhancing border security while upholding humanitarian principles, and ensuring that the rights of asylum seekers and immigrants are protected. As the best candidate to make genuine immigration reform a reality, I ask for your support in the upcoming election. Your vote for me is a step towards a more just and effective immigration system. Together, we can build a future that honors our nation’s values of liberty and compassion. Elect a leader who not only understands the system but also has the resolve and expertise to reform it. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a transformative force, potentially surpassing even the impact of electricity. In this pivotal era, the conversation about AI’s role in our future is more crucial than ever. As the only congressional candidate in the United States for 2024 with hands-on experience in AI, I bring a unique perspective to this vital discussion. My background in AI, coupled with a comprehensive plan for AI legislation and policy, positions me to effectively address the growing influence and complexities of this technology. Imagine a future where AI not only enhances our daily lives but does so responsibly and ethically. My policy roadmap envisions this future, proposing logical, achievable, and mutually beneficial AI legislation. This is not just about harnessing the power of AI but doing so in a way that benefits all of humanity, ensuring that AI’s growth is balanced with our societal values. Be a part of this groundbreaking journey. Visit fujiforcongress.com to explore my detailed AI policy and legislation proposals. As the first and only congressional candidate to dedicate a section of my campaign site to AI in 2024, I am committed to leading the charge in shaping a future where AI and humanity thrive together.
