| 1. The most important responsibilities of a federal representative in Congress are to respond to the needs of the majority of the citizens in general and the specific requests of individual constituents. I will have employees who reflect all political views and geographical locations in CD6. 2. Democratizing our elections; public financing, verifiable voting, no foreign influence, protection from cyber attacks, end gerrymandering, enact ranked choice voting (RCV). Without these, fixing our longterm problems will be impossible. 3. Civility! My new campaign slogan: "Make America GOOD again. This time, for everyone!" |
