If elected, what will your top three priorities be and why? (750 characters)

1. If there are sufficient Senate votes: impeach, remove, and disqualify the Vice President (first), then the President, and then the five Supreme Court justices who have greenlit the President’s criminality. But if we aren’t close to having the votes, defer this and move on.

2. Raise taxes on incomes above $300,000 sufficiently to close the federal budget deficit and pay off the national debt in 10-15 years; WHILE restoring 45 years of cuts to social benefits, improving access to health care, and replenishing our military capacity to resist tyranny worldwide.

3. Highly tax cryptocurrency and AI operations, particularly as to their energy usage, and closely regulate AI to insure privacy and informational integrity.

What will you do to support a vibrant economy across the United States, and to address inflation? (500 characters)

Use surgical tariffs to stop the race to the bottom in wage levels, job safety, environmental protection, and agricultural prices. Reform immigration to expand our aging work force. Allow individual tax-deferred savings to hedge against inflationary spikes.

What, if any, actions would you take to address threats facing the United States due to climate change? (500 characters)

Impose a carbon tax, with a lifeline rebate to eliminate its impact on prices, and reasonable fuel and other energy usage, for and by the average consumer. Beef up FEMA and other programs to respond to immediate climate disasters.

What, if anything, should our country do to ensure a secure social safety net for all, including access to food, housing, education and medical care? (500 characters)

Restore virtually all social program cuts since 1980 -- Reaganism is not the solution to our country's problems; it is the problem. Put some teeth into starter home programs. Tie child welfare benefits to specific activities such as consistent school attendance, with extra rewards for excellence. Raise and spend whatever funds are necessary to end health care deserts in various areas of our country. Incrementally extend governmental health insurance programs to persons without insurance.

What measures do you support to improve and secure elections, and to ensure voting access in our country? (500 characters)

Restore the voting rights act as written, undoing the US Supreme Court's shameful decisions gutting it. Consider federal legislation limiting gerrymandering in federal elections. Restrict arbitrary federal interference intended to reduce participation or to intimidate voters and election officials.

How do you view your responsibilities as a congressperson and what will you do to fulfill them? (500 characters)

All of the above. My fundamental objective is to restore a United States of America that is muscular (including a strong national defense effort and systems of alliance), confident, compassionate, and prudent.

What if anything do you think should be done to reform our federal court system? (500 characters)

Reform would not be a topic if the federal judiciary had not been suborned and manipulated over the last 45 years. The existing system would work well if our highest ranking justices had integrity. In that absence, however, term limits would be a practical alternative.

If elected, what will your top three priorities be and why? (750 characters)

My three highest priorities are: First, restoring integrity & accountability in Minnesota by exposing and stopping fraud wherever it exists. Second, preserving & strengthening the infrastructure & systems that communities rely on every day. Third, protecting the unalienable rights guaranteed in the Declaration of Independence & our constitutional traditions—including defending vulnerable individuals who may be trapped in abusive, involuntary, profit-driven, fraudulent guardianship & conservatorship arrangements. Ultimately, these priorities are connected by a single principle: government exists to serve the people. It should safeguard public resources, maintain the foundations of society & protect the rights & dignity of every individual.

What will you do to support a vibrant economy across the United States, and to address inflation? (500 characters)

A vibrant economy requires unleashing American innovation, supporting small businesses, strengthening domestic manufacturing, investing in infrastructure & workforce development & ensuring fair competition. To fight inflation, I would practice fiscal responsibility, reduce waste & fraud, expand energy & supply-chain reliability, lower the cost of essential goods & create conditions for sustainable economic growth & opportunity for all Americans. By doing this, we are a stronger America together.

What, if any, actions would you take to address threats facing the United States due to climate change? (500 characters)

I would address climate threats through practical, science-based solutions that protect our communities, economy & natural resources. This includes strengthening infrastructure against extreme weather, improving forest & water management, encouraging clean & reliable energy innovation, supporting conservation & ensuring taxpayer dollars are spent effectively on resilient solutions that protect future generations. Building a safer, stronger, more resilient America with responsible stewardship.

What, if anything, should our country do to ensure a secure social safety net for all, including access to food, housing, education and medical care? (500 characters)

Our country should ensure a secure social safety net by promoting accountability, transparency & effective use of public resources while protecting individual dignity & opportunity. This includes strengthening access to affordable food, safe housing, quality education & medical care; eliminating fraud & abuse within public systems; encouraging self-sufficiency where possible; & ensuring that vulnerable populations are protected from exploitation and neglect. A just society safeguards resources.

What measures do you support to improve and secure elections, and to ensure voting access in our country? (500 characters)

I support measures that both protect election integrity & ensure every eligible citizen has a fair opportunity to vote. This includes maintaining accurate voter rolls, requiring strong safeguards against fraud, improving election security & transparency, ensuring timely & accurate ballot counting & providing clear public oversight of election processes. Our nation must make voting accessible through reasonable voter registration procedures, sufficient polling locations & secure absentee options.

How do you view your responsibilities as a congressperson and what will you do to fulfill them? (500 characters)

My foremost responsibility is to represent the people of my district by listening to their concerns, protecting their constitutional rights & advancing policies that serve the public good. This requires honest leadership, fiscal responsibility, government transparency & vigilant oversight to prevent fraud, waste & abuse. To fulfill these duties, I would remain accessible to constituents, carefully review legislation, work across differences & ensure government agencies are held accountable.

What if anything do you think should be done to reform our federal court system? (500 characters)

The federal court system should be reformed to strengthen fairness, accountability, transparency & public trust while preserving judicial independence. This includes improving access to justice, reducing unnecessary delays & costs, increasing transparency in judicial ethics & conduct & ensuring meaningful oversight of misconduct. Reforms should also examine the effectiveness of guardianship & conservatorship oversight, ensuring that vulnerable individuals are protected from abuse & exploitation.
