What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
- Guaranteeing healthcare for all Americans with Medicare for All - Repairing and improving our environment with progressive policies like the Green New Deal, carbon tax, waste management reform, etc. - Increasing taxes on the rich and wealthy
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?
- Increasing taxes on the rich and wealthy will be the key for the US in regards to implementing the policies that we desperately need for a more progressive country.
What legacy would you like to leave?

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?
Child of Vision - Supertramp It's a ridiculously underrated album with great singles.
Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives?
Two years is enough. With the amount of power Representatives have, they should work for it by juggling their current role and running for re-election.

Term limits are necessary and should be applied as follows: US President - 8 years US Senator - 8 years US Representative - 8 years
