Public Education and economic growth
The State of ND needs to support federal legislation that increases and strengthens Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act and moved toward a single payer health system that can more affectively regulate drug and health care costs.
I carried petitions in the 1970s to create the housing finance agency that has helped build numerous housing units. Other state initiatives should be considered that encourage home ownership for moderate income families.
I believe private schools have an important role in education but should not receive public funds.
North Dakota is a model for the nation in conducting elections without fraud and without voter registration. No additional restrictions are needed.
The Declaration of Independence establishes the Federal Government as the protector of human rights and seeks to insure that the government exists by the consent of the governed. Historically, the Federal Government prohibited States from taking away civil rights by means such as Jim Crow laws. States have had the ability to protect the environment and human rights beyond the Federal standards but not less than those standards. ICE violates the US Constitution by denying due process.
