I am here to approach problem solving on the level of government the same way I have approached my life -- nonpartisan, collaborative, with a curiosity and willingness to innovate and establish win-win solutions to the best of my ability. In U.S. Government, we really only have a few authorities we really can look to for guidance, and I take those authorities seriously -- those being The Constitution of the United States of America, and the Declaration of Independence. If we look to these documents, we can restore our hope and trust in a future that serves the American people to satisfaction -- it's promised, folks. We just have to unite and hold our officials to take the words to heart. I truly believe that if we approach some of our biggest problems with a different mindset, one that takes all our well being into consideration, we CAN find compromises and solutions that serve us all. Don't give in to the us vs. them hype. It gets us nowhere. There are other ways to get things done. I can't make you any promises, but I am confident in my ability to find and maximize common interests. I wouldn't be doing this otherwise. I hope you'll join me in trying something new. I can be unconventional at times, but I have found I am ahead of my time in many regards. Come hop on this train while it's here!
- Nonpartisan, pure problem-solving approach
- Solving problems that impact Americans every single day
- We can trust in our hopes and dreams for the good life
-Helping conventional farms gain access to advanced technology that will assist them to get off chemical pesticides and becoming chemical free so ALL Americans can eat organic
-Advancing policy and working with industries to transform their packaging systems to reduce plastic pollution
-Transforming waste/recycling systems to become more efficient to reduce landfills, stop polluting 3rd world countries with our recyclables, and maximize our compostables
-Helping solve rampant food insecurity by investment and supporting more community food growing through public education and local community farms
-Justice, protection, and sustainable support for those affected by human trafficking
-Implementing more effective options for affordable housing and home ownership
-Helping more Americans with groceries via affordability, reduced grocery taxes, and more
-Scrutinizing wasteful government spending and returning that money straight to Americans
-Solving the border crisis through several measures
