Campaign themes

2018

Russell’s campaign website stated the following:

“

Energy
That means the Dakota Access Pipeline will have little or no oil to transport a very short time after it is completed. Therefore, completing this pipeline makes little or no sense at all.

Government Reform
If you want real change on Election Day, there are three things you can't do: you cannot vote for Republicans, and you cannot vote for Democrats, and YOU CAN'T STAY HOME!

Pipelines
I Stand with Standing Rock. We cannot keep putting more fossil carbon into the atmosphere. The future has no place for DAPL or Atlantic Bridge or any other pipeline project.

Military
I have been saying 'peace is less expensive' for the better part of this century. Peace has no innocent lives lost, then dismissed as 'Collateral Damage.'

Climate Change
The unprecedented changes we, the human species, have made in our atmosphere are warming the planet to an alarming degree.

Foreign Policy
I have been saying 'peace is less expensive' for the better part of this century. Peace has no innocent lives lost, then dismissed as 'Collateral Damage.' Peace has no destroyed infrastructure.

Energy Efficiency
I had the thought that this was an attempt to build the Keystone XL one piece at a time. That the underlying intention has always been to transport tar sands oil.

Diplomacy
Peace does not push people who have been living in a modern society into a level of technology of bygone centuries. Peace has an exponentially smaller carbon footprint.[10]

”
