- I am for improving education, supporting teachers and promoting a robust educational path for k-12 and beyond. What is most important to me? Survival and growth of the Middle class. The de-marginalisation of groups and individuals based on sex, gender identity, race, religion or point of origin. The focus on LGBTQ is bad enough. Focusing on school age children is horrible. I consider this group as off limits to politicization. If we pass the Equal Rights Amendment we would effectively remove many of the dog whistles we constantly hear today, and be able to focus on our real issues of Climate, Poverty, Hate Groups, Mass Shootings, Bodily Autonomy, Healthcare, Affordable and Available Housing.
- Outside infleuencers need to be removed from taking over the legislative process. Organizations as in the American Legislative Exchange Council, the Global Climate Comittee, and the State Policy Network have too much infleuence on our Public Servants.
- The Earth is not flat. Vaccines Work. We've been to the moon. Climate Change is Real. Seperation of Church and State is integrel to a Democracy. The ERA must happen this decade. Progressive and Liberalism is mandatory for a healthy Democracy. Vote for the person. Not the party.
Guns today are not the guns of our forefathers. To point out the obvious. They shoot farther, are far more accurate, higher velocity, capacity and are mass produced at a rate that is unfathomable. They are not manufactured in the name of anything but making a buck. They are advertised and promoted as if they were a necessary staple in every kitchen and absolutely necessary in life. They are targeted to every part of society like candy flavored cigarettes.
I am for new gun laws. I am for clarifying the 2nd amendment through the legislative process. I will work for the National Guard to be designated the sole ”well ordered militia” in the United States of America. But this is not all that we're about. This is forced upon all of us because of the over the top violence in America and yes, the expansion of the weapons market by US gun manufactures and their lobbyist.

2) Assisting constituents in resolving their issues. Actively promoting and delivering on the laws and programs that are signed. There are programs sitting in the Fed that could benefit many locations and populations that are not being implemented. This is effectively dead money doing nothing. A senator's duty should be to bring these programs to the people(s). Explain them. Promote them. Work with them all the way to fruition. Currently I see little of that done in my state, and across the country.
The mass production of energy storage systems for renewable energies systems. Getting off the leash of the Oil Cartel. Ending the war on drugs. Ending mass incarceration. Practicing building codes that take climate change into the design. The end to planned obsolescence built into all industries, especially single use items, automobiles, appliances, etc... Alternative cooling systems that get away from the traditional Air Compressor and R410A chemicals. Water supplies need to be planned for the next 100 years. We need mass desalinization plants strategically located to pipe water across the entire country before 2050. I watched the oil industry put a pipeline from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico at light speed. That pipeline and more pipelines can move water. The distributed energy generation model must be adopted by this nation. We need federal legislation to get new homes and their neighborhoods to build into the community from the start a power generation, storage and sharing architecture. Basically we need to eliminate fossil fuel as much as possible as an energy provider.
Stop subsidizing OIL expansion. Gas is not likely to go down in price any time soon.
Address the plight, poverty and disrespect of the Native Peoples of this country. This is a top priority as well as passing the ERA so that BIPOC and LGBTQ+ people may live in this country with Life Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
Guns and Violence in general need addressing. The Nat'l Guard must be designated as the Well Ordered Militia" of the 2nd amendment. A complete reset of gun laws must follow or be included.
