<big>'''MAKING TENNESSEE WORK FOR ALL TENNESSEANS'''</big> | |||
I have engaged people around policy throughout my career. Many times, we were reacting and responding to federal policies around education, economy, environment, and health care. Now I want the opportunity to fight for hard-working Tennesseans to shape federal policy as your United States Senator. | |||
<big>I BELIEVE IN HEALTHCARE FOR ALL</big><br> | |||
As your Senator, I will fight to ensure Tennesseans going bankrupt from seeking needed Medical Care is a thing of the past. Having experienced that in my own life, I know what it's like to have to suffer through our current system. | |||
<big>I SUPPORT THE GREEN NEW DEAL</big><br> | |||
As a fighter for environmental justice my entire life, I am proud to stand as someone who sees the unending benefits of this deal, not only for our Planet’s health but for the future of our state’s economy. Tennessee has an opportunity to invest heavily in new jobs, infrastructure, and more with this deal and we need bold, unafraid leadership to take us to new heights. | |||
<big>I BELIEVE IN COMMUNITY POLICING AND RESTORATIVE JUSTICE</big><br> | |||
Restorative justice is a theory of justice that focuses on repairing the harm caused by the crime. It is best accomplished through cooperative processes that allow stakeholders to meet. In Tennessee, we need a fundamental overhaul of our justice system to ensure that we all are being held to an equal interpretation of the law, not one rooted in racial and income bias. When we do this it will lead to a transformation of people, relationships, and communities. | |||
<big>I BELIEVE IN HIGH QUALITY PUBLIC EDUCATION</big><br> | |||
Our society demands that we teach our students lifelong learning and skills that will translate to a modern economy. I am a lifelong proponent of funding our education system the same as we do our military in order to promote generations of meaningful success regardless of background or location in Tennessee. | |||
<big>I BELIEVE IN UNIVERSAL BACKGROUND CHECKS</big><br> | |||
Every day, more than 300 Americans are shot or killed–whether from mass shootings that are occurring with alarming regularity to more frequent acts of domestic violence and suicide. | |||
<big>I BELIEVE IN PROTECTING DEMOCRACY</big><br> | |||
Some have argued the single most influential Supreme Court decision in our lifetimes has been the overturning of the Citizens United case. This ushered in an era of untold amounts of money being funneled into campaigns from billion-dollar corporations to buy elections. Protecting Democracy is a critical piece of my campaign. | |||
<big>I BELIEVE IN A LIVING WAGE FOR ALL WORKERS</big><br> | |||
Tennesseans are the hardest working people in this country & their labor deserves to be recognized. This means fully and aggressively fighting for the federal recognition & implementation of a living wage beginning at immediately increasing the minimum wage to $15.00 an hour. We should implement a Building an economy that helps all Tennesseeans means: | |||
