Expand all | Collapse all

I am dedicated to uniting the American people, prioritizing the country before party politics, protecting civil liberties, and pledging allegiance to America, not any other nation.

Our Congress is compromised. Lobbying and special interests inject billions of dollars to steer legislative policies in their favor, to the detriment of the American people. The atrocities unfolding every day before our eyes in Gaza have made clear the power these campaign contributions have over our elected representatives. Millions of dollars are pouring into re-election campaigns in support of a foreign government, a disservice to our country and their oath. Our representatives readily commit our tax dollars and diplomatic support for the continuation of clear violations of international law. Our civil liberties are foundational to a thriving democracy and I will seek to protect those without compromise. I support investing in public education, allowing our educational professionals to teach our children to be independent critical thinkers and problem solvers. I support investing in our crumbling infrastructure which has been starved of vital funding through unsustainable tax cuts and loopholes enjoyed by large corporations, while we shoulder the true costs. I recognize and support the vital role of local, small businesses in our communities. I support a woman's right to choose. I will seek diplomatic solutions to conflicts and work to stop the cycle of endless war.

This is America first.
  • I will represent the voice of my constituents, unbound by partisan politics and special interests. I will work to stop the cycle of endless war and prioritize the many domestic issues we face at home. Our civil liberties are being systematically dismantled and I will advocate for our constitutional rights, the bedrock of democracy. I will uphold, without compromise, my oath to office, our freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, and right to privacy.
  • Our public education system is suffering. We must revitalize the principles of critical thinking and problem solving by allowing our teachers the freedom to do what they were trained to do and prepare the next generation to tackle the problems we face today.
  • Our infrastructure is being starved of vital funding due to unsustainable tax cuts and loopholes enjoyed by large corporations and we are shouldering the costs. Our water, roads, bridges, and schools lack adequate funding and I will work to address those by rooting out corruption and addressing policies which do not prioritize the American people.
I am passionate about rebuilding our communities. We must rise above partisan politics, invest in our communities. Our national debt continues to soar while we send billions of dollars to fund conflicts which are not in the best interests of the American people or those involved in the conflicts we fund.
I look up to Prof. Jeffrey Sachs, Prof. John Mearsheimer, Michael Hudson, and Prof. Norman Finkelestein because they are uncompromised scholars seeking truth no matter the consequences.
Maintain independence from corporate lobbyists seeking to steer legislation in their favor and not the American people.
I have a great sense of integrity and will always stand up for what is best for the American people. I have a great capacity to work well with others, regardless of the disagreements we may share.
Represent their constituents and prioritize the interests of the American people.
I would like to be known as someone who stood up for the people and always sought to improve their lives.
I washed dishes at a burger joint in 7th and 8th grade.
Blind Descent. Because it exemplifies the willpower and determination of humans.
Providing the best life for my family in an economy that does not prioritize the working class.
The House of Representatives should be representative of the American people. The institution should reflect the broad socioeconomic background of our country.
No. While it is important to have knowledgeable and effective representatives, many career politicians do not prioritize the will of the people, but instead seek to preserve their place of power.
The polarization tearing us apart is a detriment to the country. As we continue to commit billions of dollars to the military industrial complex, our national debt continues to skyrocket, the rising cost of living becomes more unsustainable and working class citizens fall further and further behind in this financialized economy.
I support term limits. While it is important to have knowledgeable and experienced lawmakers, too many have turned their office into a career and lost sight of the reason they were elected- to represent the interests of their constituents.
I hear many stories of the increasing difficulties facing the working class. Rising costs of health care, housing, and a faltering public education.
What do you call a penny that falls in the mud? Dirty copper.
Yes, we must be willing to work collaboratively with our colleagues, which means compromise from all parties.
It is important we rein in wasteful spending which does not provide a benefit to the American people. Right now our priorities are misaligned and we committing wasteful spending in areas which have no return.
The House should investigate all actions of the government, regardless of the party, which are not in alignment with the Constitution. The Declare War Clause and the War Powers Resolution, The Fourth Amendment prohibiting unreasonable search and seizure, The Hatch Act, and Leahy Amendments should all be investigated and
Energy and commerce, Education and the Workforce, Ethics, Foreign Affairs, Oversight and Accountability
Financial transparency and government are critical to maintaining the trust and confidence of the American people. The veil of secrecy shrouding our government has resulted in distrust and lack of confidence, compromising the democratic principles this country was founded on.

Campaign website

Saulie-Rohman’s campaign website stated the following:

I am dedicated to uniting the American people, prioritizing the country before party politics, protecting civil liberties, and pledging allegiance to America, not any other nation.

Our Congress is compromised. Lobbying and special interests inject billions of dollars to steer legislative policies in their favor, to the detriment of the American people.

The atrocities unfolding every day before our eyes in Gaza have made very clear the power these campaign contributions have over our elected representatives. Millions of dollars are pouring into re-election campaigns in support of a foreign government, a disservice to our country and their oath. Our representatives readily commit our tax dollars and diplomatic support for the continuation of clear violations of international law.

Our civil liberties are foundational to a thriving democracy and I will seek to protect those without compromise. I support investing in public education, allowing our educational professionals to teach our children to be independent critical thinkers and problem solvers. I support investing in our crumbling infrastructure which has been starved of vital funding through unsustainable tax cuts and loopholes enjoyed by large corporations, while we shoulder the true costs. I recognize and support the vital role of local, small businesses in our communities. I support a woman's right to choose. I will seek diplomatic solutions to conflicts and work to stop the cycle of endless war.

This is America first. This is putting people before politics. This is what a government “Of, By, and For The People” was intended to be.


As an Independent, in a closely divided congress, my vote will be pivotal for all legislative efforts. I will always put my constituents and country first. I pledge to only accept individual contributions, ensuring my independence from special interests. [2]
