I am a progressive small business owner who is running to change the way things are done in Washington
  • Economic Justice for All
  • We are the land of huddled masses, yearning to breath free.
  • We can give all of our kids one superpower, and that's education.
Income inequality, Government sponsored human trafficking, and Medicare for all.
Lebron James. The man is at the pinnacle of his profession, still married to his high school sweetheart, and is actively involved with his 3 children.
The musical Hamilton. Nothing makes me prouder to be an American than a message that this place is for all of us.
They need to be aggressive, and no nonsense. They are there to serve.
I am aggressive and to the point. However, I make allies wherever I go.
To promote the General Welfare. This means everyday making decisions which are the best possible ones for your district and country.
That I helped defeat MAGA economic idiocy, and show the world what true progressive populist economics look like.
I remember the Challenger explosion. I was 6 years old at the time and I was in Kindergarten.
I picked apples at an Orchard in New Gloucester, Maine. I had it for about 2 months.
The Big Short. It puts a human angle on what appeared on the outside to be a faceless disaster
Jack Reacher
The Day the Nazi died- by Chumbawamba
High anxiety, and the need for outside validation
The House of Representatives traces its heritage back to the First Continental Congress. It is the branch that has existed since before 1776. The Senate was a compromise measure.
The AI revolution and the resulting economic upheaval will be something that needs to be dealt with and quickly.
I think that 2.5 years would be a better amount, but 2 years is in the Constitution.
3 Terms for Senators, and 5 for Congressmen. This should be the upper limit of time able to serve in one post.
I want to have the smarts and courage of AOC.
I had a constituent relay to me that we had just moved jobs and was not eligible for health insurance yet. During this transition he had a motorcycle crash. The medical bills bankrupted him and he lost his house. If it had happened 4 days he would have had insurance.

MOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
To an extent. However, when the person on the other side of the table is not acting in good faith, it becomes necessary to push your viewpoint through.
We use this power to set priorities as to where we want to raise the revenue. We will protect the most vulnerable first. That is the priority. From there we will raise taxes on the working and middle class as a last resort.
That answer has changed for me recently. We need to be sure that all members of the the Judicial and Executive branches are living up to the ideals of the office and not undermining at every turn.
None as of yet.
Oversight, Foreign Affairs, Small Business, Energy and Commerce
With very limited exceptions, line by line budgets for all departments and agencies need to be public. This includes military spending.
