Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Bruce Majors (L)

Decentralize DC!

Stop Crime! Create local law enforcement independent of the mayor, with elected sheriffs for each Ward

Keep DC schools and economy open, independent of fads and hoaxes imposed by national politicians.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Bruce Majors (L)

DC is a failed state, with rising crime, failing schools, no jobs for those without credentials, and 50,000 resident leaving in the past 3 years.

Our mayor doesn't even know how many students are vaccinated. Before the Covid lockdown our schools were exposed for graduating and promoting students - just to get rid of them - who had more than 30 unexcused absences per year, in violation of DC's own policies.

DC politicians would like to curb the growth of education choice in DC. Instead it must be expanded. For years students at charter schools have been budgeted less money than government schools, and voucher students even less. Funding must be equal and must follow the child.

We must keep schools and businesses open, allow people to create and work at jobs, and stop crime.

To do this we must take power away from our incompetent, permanent, multi-term incumbents.

They should be term limited, but even more importantly we should return power to a more local level, to the 8 Wards, each of which has more population than many cities (Falls Church, Bethesda, Silver Spring, Takoma Park) in our area.

I am passionate about having Congress restructure DC to take power away from the mayor and city council - who are elected with the support and participation of only 10% to 25% of registered voters - and return it to more local control by having elected sheriffs, school boards, and perhaps zoning boards, at the Ward level.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

Bruce Majors (L)

I favor term limits, especially DC. I am running for Congress to encourage Congress to reconstitute DC, including implementing term limits (which voters should then be allowed to alter if they choose to do so).

Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

Bruce Majors (L)

William Proxmire (D, Wisconsin)
