I am a true believer in American democracy, a career engineer and trades foreman I worked to get my law degree at night while employed full time. I believe strongly that those of us who would consider ourselves near the center have been left behind by both parties for different reasons. A persons political stance on a singular issue should not disqualify them entirely from the conversation. To solve real problems we need to work together for every citizen and respect divergence and diversity of thought as a source of creativity and not of animosity.
  • We have to change the dialogue and return civility to public discourse.
  • The parties have no incentive to create competitive districts that bring ideas closer to the general concerns of the public.
  • You the voter must hold individual politicians accountable for their actions.
Gerrymandering and redistricting generally need to be addressed, several options exist to get at the underlying problem including the possibility of ranked choice voting.

In order to maintain a vision for a green energy future we must fund and plan large scale grid storage and improvements in distribution ahead of a full transition to intermittent sources.

A public option for health insurance needs to be funded in advance to last, this can be done by incentivizing preventative and curative medical advancements with a bond issue.

Alternative paths to higher education need to be available in order for the next generation to have the skills needed to ensure a safe, healthy and productive future. One method could be through the development of a service program from high school grads to earn tuition, modeled on Americorps.
