Issue Position: Fix the System at Its Root

Issue Position

Jake believes systemic change is the most durable and impactful. In Congress, Jake will look beyond the surface to address root causes of the issues we face in our systems and institutions. As a starter, that means overturning Citizens United. Jake also supports the Fair Representation Act and was an early supporter of Ranked Choice Voting, a simple and fair way to better represent the will of the majority in elections. Jake has also presented at conferences on more equitable and transparent financing mechanisms for political campaigns and journalism. Jake is a strong supporter of universal vote by mail as one means to combat voter suppression.

After corporations spent money on a ballot initiative in Newton, Jake detailed the problem to his constituents in his newsletter, later submitting and passing a resolution with the Democratic City Committee calling for an end to opaque corporate spending in local elections. Jake does not accept any corporate PAC donations for his own campaign.
