Get StartedI will order the Department of Justice and Internal Revenue Service to cease all Civil Asset Forfeiture cases immediately, return any seized property to their owners, and require them to file criminal cases against those responsible where they have probable cause, restoring the principle of ''innocent until proven guilty.''

Ending the drug war isn’t enough. We also need to fix some of the damage done. I will pardon or commute the sentences of anyone federally convicted of any nonviolent drug offenses. Then, I will work with Congress to expand expungement to include all nonviolent drug offenses by supporting the REDEEM Act. Finally, we will encourage governors to adopt similar policies with regards to state enforcement. Learn more
The war on drugs is a failure and must end. I will immediately order the Department of Justice to stop enforcing the federal drug war and stop pursuing all drug investigations, cases, and sentencing. Then, I will work with the attorney general, our international partners, and Congress to deschedule all drugs from the Controlled Substances Act. Learn more
Reform the Freedom of Information Act - I will vastly expand the ability to get information from federal agencies. I will vastly expand documents included in affirmative disclosure, require mandatory payment of all attorneys fees if a citizen wins a case, and freeze funding to any agency that doesn’t respond to a FOIA within 20 days. Learn more
Refuse to Declare War without Congress - I will end all current authorizations of force and require Congress to declare war before engaging in military action abroad. Repeal All National Emergencies - I will repeal all 42 currently active national emergency declarations and relinquish presidential emergency powers back to Congress. Learn more
Overcharging is the process of piling federal charges on a defendant until the risk is too high for them to go to court, and then offering a plea deal for a lesser amount if they don’t go to court. We will end Federal overcharging by requiring a prosecutor to take the initial charges to court - encouraging proper charging by prosecutors and reducing the penalty for an innocent person to defend their innocence in federal court.

If you can’t do your job in 12 years, you shouldn’t be in office. I’ll pass 12-year term limits either through congress or by rallying the state via Constitutional Amendment. Learn more
Our elections are rigged. Ballot access rules prevent independent and third party candidates from running for office. Gerrymandering and redistricting allows politicians to choose who votes for them. A lack of transparency makes it hard to know if your vote counted. If we want to bring back trust in our elections, we need a free, fair election system. My solution to that is a Voters’ Bill of Rights. The Voters’ Bill of Rights takes our federal election system from one with different systems, regulations, and rules that have allowed the Republican and Democrat Parties to control our elections to one that is accessible, transparent, and trustworthy. This ensures that every voter in America can trust our voting system, know that their vote counted, and that those in office are truly representative of the people who elected them. Learn more
Enforce Existing Law - HHS passed a rule in 2021 requiring hospitals to post their prices publicly, but it has largely been ignored. I will order HHS to withhold federal funding from any provider that is not being transparent with its prices - so you have the information you need to choose the best healthcare for you and your family. Learn more
While Health Savings Accounts gave the ability to spend tax-free dollars on healthcare to millions of Americans, they are still tied to health insurance. We need to expand HSAs so every American can pay cash for healthcare without insurance. Learn more
Create Healthcare Debit Accounts - I will empower current Medicare and Medicaid Recipients to choose where to spend 5,000 of their federal healthcare dollars per year - driving innovation, reducing prices, and increasing choice in the healthcare system. Learn more
Eliminate Unnecessary Regulations - Without enough doctors, nurses, and healthcare options, the price of healthcare will always go up. I will eliminate unnecessary regulations like non-health and safety Conditions of Participation, electronic health records certification requirements, and restrictions on telehealth to encourage more doctors, nurses, and options in our healthcare system. Learn more
Reducing Federal Healthcare Spending - Finally, I’ll use the above data to reduce federal spending, enabling us to reduce the costs of Medicare and Medicaid to a manageable level without harming the individuals reliant on these programs. Learn more
Government spending on healthcare is incredibly difficult to track, hidden in thousand-page documents, complicated contracts, and deep in agency files. I will launch Healthcarecosts.gov, a website where all contracts, spending, and receipts for federal healthcare programs are posted so we can identify overspending, sweetheart deals, and special favors.
