Tackling homelessness, enshrining the right to abortion in state law, and tackling the rising cost of housing.

Heavily subsidize and regulate kindergarten and provide more funding to public schools that have lower test scores rather than the other way around. As well as enshrining a public worker (including teachers) minimum salary that requires cost of living adjustments yearly.

Expanding mail in voting, limiting voter roll expungement and making voter registration automatic.

Something probably too optimistic but something I would love to see anyway is making voting opt out rather than opt in. Making both election days mandatory holidays, opening more polling locations and expanding mail in voting included.

Nothing short of enshrining the essential rights to every class in the LGBTQ spectrum within the state constitution is enough. Along those lines, keeping the government out of our bedrooms, bathrooms and doctors offices is imperative towards guaranteeing our rights to bodily autonomy. (Except for vaccines, everybody should be getting those if possible regardless on how they feel about it.)

I believe that police departments should be funded according to the requirements of the precinct. The Nowheresville Indiana one room police department doesn't need tanks and tear gas. In order to reestablish trust in the police, we need to extensively investigate and root out the corruption that has taken place within it.

I only accept campaign donations by ordinary citizens. Full stop. Though I am mostly self funded.
