I want to ensure justice and assist in the recovery from Covid-19 by overhauling the legal system and helping people get out of debt. My plans are to pass a "justice amendment" and implement a "Get Out of Debt" plan that will help bridge the gap between the rich and the poor. These are described on my website at www.JoanFarr.com. This is a change in ideology and to avoid socialism, I would obtain funding from the private sector. I also want to help President Trump end the abuse of National Security Letters targeting innocent Americans.
