Get StartedI am pro-choice. I think women should have autonomy over their own bodies without government interference. I do not believe we should allow one person’s religious views to dictate what someone else can do concerning their own health. Learn more
I support equal rights for all citizens, regardless of their color, religion, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation. Learn more
With China's global expansion, and the Russians trying to reestablish the old Soviet Union, our military needs stay the best in the world. That said, we need to be more strategic on the programs we fund and not just hand a blank check to the Pentagon. The F-35 program has been a disaster from the start with cost overruns and endless problems with the planes. In this day and age I think money would be better spent on missile programs and defensive shields. Learn more
As with immigration, we need to work more closely with Mexico to get rid of the drug cartels, more inspections of trucks and trains at the border and more patrols by the Coast Guard to catch drugs coming in by sea. Learn more
I will work tirelessly to ensure better government oversight of treatment facilities. Anyone can hang a sign and say they're a treatment facility. We need better standards and management of these facilities. Learn more
I will work to make Narcan vending machines available throughout the 8th district. Many will say you are promoting drug use and I will say people are going to take the drugs anyway. Maybe we can save a few lives while we find a solution to this scourge on society. If I can help prevent one person from going through what I did it will be worth it. Learn more
We need to bring manufacturing back to this country instead of allowing large corporations to outsource our jobs so they can make more profit. If wages were the cause of high prices, why do American car companies charge the same for a car produced in this country as the one made in Mexico? Learn more
Agriculture is the backbone of this nation and always has been. We need good relations with other countries to allow a free flow of goods, including agricultural products to these countries. Learn more
I will work hard to try to get the dark money and unlimited corporate money out of our political system so the politicians work for us and not some corporate interest that donated millions to their campaign. Learn more
I am pro second amendment but I think, as with our rights guaranteed in other amendments, there should be limitations. Learn more
Why are we the only industrialized nation on earth without national healthcare? We are the only nation that bankrupts or kills its citizens because they can’t afford healthcare. To all the people who say "we don't want socialized medicine like in Europe" I would ask "why not?" Learn more
We need stronger unions with more workers unionized. We need to raise the minimum wage so people don't have to work two or three jobs just to survive. Learn more
