On the Issues
Not for Sale
"Over two million contributions have been made to the only campaign the rejects a corrupt campaign finance system. You can't level the playing field with Wall Street banks and billionaires by taking their money." -Bernie Sanders
Income Inequlaity
Large corporations and the wealthy need to step up to the plate by paying their fair share of taxes.
Education should not be a Burden
A higher education needs to be accessible to all Americans. Let's make public colleges and universities have free tuition.
Health should not come at a High Price
How can we expect to have a healthy population if our price on prescription drugs is through the roof.
Care for our Veterans
It should be a priority to strengthen the VA health care system. I will hire more doctors and nurses and invest in creating better care facilities.
The Era of Clean Energy
By revolutionizing our electric and transportation sectors, we will be able to steer away from fossil fuels and create a cleaner America.
