Joseph is a progressive independent democrat who seeks to petition onto the ballot for the Working Families and Democratic nomination by collecting signatures to force a democratic primary for CT04’s 17 year incumbent. Joseph is 33 years old, in law school, and deeply passionate about policies that increase his community’s quality of life. Connecticut has closed primaries, where one needs 15% of over 400 DTC delegates to vote at the May 11 conference, or need to petition with over 2% of the registered party member’s signatures by June 8.
  • Affordability: We are being priced out of our own lives due to corporate politician’s support of imperialistic, racial, and patriarchal systems. We need a common-sense market centered around quality of life for the working class.
  • Accountability - We’ve watched atrocities in our streets for too long. Our government spends billions on ICE, wars and genocides, and our people do not have healthcare. Meanwhile, not a single arrest has been made for the E files. We’ve felt helpless wanting someone to do something. Impeachment and trials must happen.
  • Anti-establishment action: Your debts mount today. Your constitutional rights are threatened today. Your lives are at risk today. Public Servants should be building a better world for all today. Politicians are bought and sold. We need to overturn Citizen’s United, get money out of politics, impeach bad actors in our government, and work towards a rule of law that works for ALL, not just the wealthy.
Universal Health care, getting private equity our of residential ownership and hospitals, trials for all in the E files and all who worked with the President and ICE to commit civil and human rights violations
Citizen’s Impeachment, Money out of Politics,
