Pro-choice Do you generally support pro-choice or pro-life legislation?
No Do you support the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade?
A woman has the right to make her own reproductive care decisions.
Yes Do you support expanding federal funding to support social safety net programs such as Social Security and Medicare?
Yes Do you support a decrease in income taxes in order to balance the budget?
Yes Do you support a wealth tax in order to pay for public programs?
There should be a fair tax for all. Often the wealthiest pay significantly less taxes than the working middle class.
Yes Do you support the regulation of indirect campaign contributions from corporations, unions, and individuals?
Yes Do you support protecting government officials, including law enforcement officers, from personal liability in civil lawsuits concerning alleged misconduct?
If these officials are acting within the scope of their employment and have not violated any laws or policy, then they should be indemnified. If they are found liable or they have misused their office and/or broke the law, then they should be held strictly liable.
Yes Do you support increasing defense spending?
Only increase as the need arises.
Yes Do you support federal spending as a means of promoting economic growth (e.g. grants, tax incentives)?
Yes Do you support the federal government increasing funding for affordable housing programs?
Yes Do you support the federal government taking action, beyond those of the Federal Reserve, to alleviate inflation?
Yes Do you support the forgiveness of federal student loan debt?
No Do you support requiring a government-issued identification in order to vote at the polls?
Yes Do you support government funding for the development of renewable energy (e.g. solar, wind, geo-thermal)?
Yes Do you support the federal government allowing permits for drilling on public lands?
With limitation and regulation. The drilling should not lead to environmental concerns.
Yes Do you generally support gun-control legislation (e.g. red flag laws, boyfriend loopholes)?
Yes Do you support a government-run (e.g. single-payer) healthcare program, such as Medicare-for-All?
Yes Do you support expanding paid family AND/OR medical leave benefits (e.g. maternity leave)?
Yes Should the government be able to regulate the cost of prescription drugs?
Yes Do you support increasing security along the southern US border?
No Do you support requiring immigrants to return to their country of origin before they are eligible for citizenship, regardless of their immigration status?
They may be amnesty considerations or potential for danger to life if returned immediately.
Yes Do you support economic intervention as a means of resolving international conflicts?
Yes Do you support the US providing increased offensive military aid to Ukraine?
We must support democracy. If we allow Ukraine to fall Russia will not stop there. They will continue to push forward invading sovereign nations. It would also lead to them controlling the Black Sea and conducting a blockade thus preventing trade ships from entering.
Yes Do you generally support increased regulations on social media companies (e.g. Tik Tok, Facebook, etc.)?
To the point where privacy where privacy concerns are taken seriously.
My top three priorities would be to Codify Roe v Wade, Passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and renewing the American Rescue Plan.
