  • "Common Sense… Common Ground… Help me protect Roe v. Wade!" (twitter.com)
  • "The United States Supreme Court Ruling to overturn Roe vs Wade, in my opinion, was the wrong choice. If a woman or young girl is raped, then she should undoubtedly have the right and choice to terminate the pregnancy or consider adoption if abortion is not an option." (zachariahmanning.com)
  • "Enhance Medicare coverage: Expanding Medicare coverage to include additional services, such as dental, vision, and hearing, can help reduce out-of-pocket expenses for senior citizens. This can also prevent more serious health issues down the line, leading to overall cost savings" (zachariahmanning.com)
  • "It’s important to note that healthcare reform is a complex issue, and any changes should be carefully considered and evaluated to ensure they effectively address the challenges faced by senior citizens while maintaining the quality of care." (zachariahmanning.com)

  • "Enemy of Justice™ - A phrase that I coined to describe a person who actively opposes or shows hostility towards the fair treatment of any human being. I will fight for equal justice while having our communities more involved in the public safety areas of concern. I will help secure targeted mental health funding for our communities because police are not and should not be relied upon as mental health professionals. We should not defund police budgets, but increase them to address: mental health, high crime areas and for protecting places prone to mass shootings like schools, places of worship and areas of discrimination." (zachariahmanning.com)
  • "This Bill will provide public safety labor salaries for store fronts and neighborhood proactive patrols. Peace Officers have to have been raised in the neighborhood or hired by a neighborhood committee. The Bill will improve on response times and proactive measures in preventing crimes in areas that have high data/statistics. Funding will come from my Cannabis Health & Taxation Act below."

  • "In addition to the VA Home Loan program, this Bill will be a home savings and match program that will insure that we help eliminate homelessness for the men and women that have served our country. Funding will come from my Cannabis Health & Taxation Act below." (zachariahmanning.com)
  • "This Bill will be to create a national lottery. The revenue would go to fund social security, tech innovation, public education for children starting at six weeks of age, community safety, infrastructure and small businesses of 20 or less employees. The equity and inclusion component would include women and minority owned businesses." (zachariahmanning.com)
  • "This Bill will legalize cannabis on a federal level.

  • "Planet Protection Preservation Act: This bill will put measures in place to help protect and preserve our planet and advance technology concerning energy efficiency. Funding will come from my National Lottery Act and Cannabis Health & Taxation Act below." (zachariahmanning.com)
  • "In order to plan for the future, we must first deal with the present. The U.S. needs to strike an oil deal with Venezuela NOW! At the same time we must invest in our own oil reserves so we will never be held up for ransom again at the gas pump. #CommonSenseCommonGround" (twitter.com)
  • "Affording our community, families, and children to be protected through gun accountability, training, safety awareness not only creates responsible gun owners but also makes us a stronger and safer collective." (zachariahmanning.com)
  • "This Bill would require all gun owners to be licensed similar to a fishing license, but more in-depth with a mandatory mental health screening. Now more than ever, mental health awareness is critical when it comes to gun safety. Mental health issues could affect one’s cognitive and decision-making process." (zachariahmanning.com)
  • "When it comes to gun safety, it’s my belief the safety of our communities and children are of the utmost importance. We have seen the effects of having easy access to assault rifles and the detrimental reality caused when in untrained and the wrong hands." (zachariahmanning.com)
  • "Lastly, many states, including Texas do not require a license to carry a gun. It’s my belief that if we are required to have a license to drive a car, which can also be a deadly weapon. We also need a license to carry a gun. Along with the fore mentioned proposals, I will propose a federal law that any person desiring to carry a gun must be properly licensed. Coupled with a "National No Gun Sales List" like the "National No Fly List"." (zachariahmanning.com)
