Get StartedI am committed to an economic policy that prioritizes full employment, ensuring that everyone who wants to work can find meaningful employment while ensuring that the incentive to work remains high to ensure our Nation can compete globally. This would be facilitated by a federally-funded Job Guarantee program, a key proposal within MMT, providing a buffer against economic downturns and ensuring a more stable economy. By embracing MMT, we can move away from austerity measures that stifle growth and towards a more dynamic, equitable approach to economic policy that genuinely serves the needs of all Americans.

Expanding access and increasing funding for education with a focus on vocational and new technology training is critical to my policy platform. Our workforce must compete globally to renew the powers of American manufacturing, servicing, and installing technology hardware to build America's lead in innovation, production, and implementation. We must be both makers and builders again. Learn more
My plan includes significant investment in research and development of next-generation nuclear technologies, focusing on enhancing safety, efficiency, and waste management. This investment will propel the United States to the forefront of nuclear technology globally, spur economic growth, and create many high-skilled jobs. I propose to streamline the regulatory process for nuclear facilities, ensuring a quicker yet safe deployment of new reactors, particularly in areas where job opportunities are most needed.

I propose the implementation of comprehensive, universal background checks. This system will be efficient and fair and respect gun owners' privacy. It will ensure that individuals who are legally prohibited from possessing firearms, such as convicted felons or those with a history of dangerous mental illness, are not able to purchase them. This policy aligns with our values of responsibility and public safety. Learn more
I am dedicated to improving the existing background check system, ensuring it is accurate and up-to-date, and closing any existing loopholes. My platform also includes supporting and funding firearm safety education programs, emphasizing responsible ownership and use. By balancing protecting our Second Amendment rights with sensible safety measures, we can uphold our constitutional freedoms while making our communities safer for everyone. Learn more
I advocate for targeted reforms in Medicare and Medicaid to improve efficiency and reduce waste, ensuring these programs remain sustainable for future generations. Recognizing the unique healthcare challenges in California, I propose increased federal support for community health centers, ensuring that underserved and rural communities have access to quality care.

My healthcare policy platform is centered around expanding access to healthcare while upholding the principles of free-market competition, personal responsibility, and state autonomy. I believe in a system where Americans have more control over their healthcare decisions and where market forces are leveraged to drive down costs and improve quality. Learn more
My focus will be on an approach that provides shelter while dealing with the root causes of homelessness: mental health, addiction, job security, and affordable housing. I am committed to implementing reforms that incentivize housing and shelter construction, eliminating prohibitive, costly, and outdated permitting restrictions that enable developers and homeowners to replenish, improve, renew, and expand the national housing stock. Learn more
I advocate for enhanced border security measures that are effective and technologically advanced, ensuring we can safeguard our borders against illegal entry while facilitating lawful trade and travel. At the same time, I support efforts to address the status of those already in the country and contribute to our communities, focusing on a merit-based system that prioritizes immigrants with skills in short supply. Through a balanced approach to immigration reform, we can strengthen our economy, uphold our laws, and remain true to our values as a nation of immigrants. Learn more
I am committed to advancing a pragmatic and principled approach to immigration reform. Recognizing the essential role immigrant labor plays in our economy, my policy platform seeks to balance the enforcement of our laws with the economic realities of our labor market. I firmly believe in upholding the integrity of our borders while creating a more efficient and fair system that benefits both American citizens and those who wish to contribute positively to our society.

Large-scale infrastructure projects, such as the modernization of our transportation networks, energy grids, and immigration facilities, and the enhancement of public facilities like schools and hospitals, are paramount to maintaining global competitiveness. These projects will not only create a multitude of jobs across various sectors but will also lay the groundwork for long-term economic benefits and improved community services. Furthermore, I propose expanding federal employment in critical areas such as healthcare and education and providing essential services to the public while offering stable, well-paying jobs.
