I support comprehensive immigration reform with modern border technology that treats people with dignity. Further, we need more immigration judges to reduce backlogs, and a pathway to earned citizenship for long term, law abiding undocumented immigrants. We should also protect Dreamers.

The Government should strive to keep families together, expand legal pathways for workers, and focus enforcement on violent criminals, not hardworking families who contribute to our economy. America is strongest when we uphold both the rule of law and our values.

Yes. Climate change has driven up the cost of INSURANCE from natural disasters to HEALTHCARE expenses, not to mention threatening our military readiness.

In sum, Every dollar we invest in clean energy, resilient infrastructure, and disaster preparedness saves taxpayers money over time. Addressing climate change is not just environmental policy—it’s economic policy, public health policy, and national security policy.

AFFORDABILITY in HOUSING and HEALTHCARE.

Plus, a FAIR LIVING WAGE ( the federal minimum wage has not been increased since 2009.

Freedom of speech is one of our most fundamental constitutional rights. It is in the First Amendment and protects our ability to criticize the government, advocate for change, worship freely, organize peacefully, and express unpopular opinions without government censorship. It belongs to everyone, not just those who have power.

However, there are time, place and manner restrictions of free speech. You can not incite violence or defame a person’s character.

The President has Executive power to oversee Federal agencies.

The President manages the Executive Branch and supervises federal agencies. Congress manages the Legislative Branch and has the constitutional authority to create agencies, appropriate funding, conduct oversight, and investigate whether agencies are faithfully executing the LAW and controls the spending (purse).

Checks and balances require both branches to fulfill their constitutional responsibilities so that no one branch becomes too powerful.

Voting is a fundamental constitutional right, and no eligible citizen should lose that right because of paperwork or cost.

I would support making citizenship documents free or low-cost; expand mobile and online document services; waive fees for low-income Americans, Seniors, Veterans, and Disaster victims.

We could also fund Legal assistance to help people obtain replacement records.

In particular, Women whose names changed after marriage or divorce should have a simple process to verify their identity without unnecessary burdens.

Election Laws should protect election integrity while ensuring every eligible citizen can vote.

I would also sign onto the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.

The Federal Government should be a strong partner in ensuring every child has an equal opportunity to succeed, regardless of their ZIP code.

Preschool: Expand access to affordable, high-quality early childhood education because early learning produces lifelong educational and economic benefits.

K-12: Support public schools through equitable funding, protect students’ civil rights, invest in teacher recruitment and retention, expand career and technical education, and ensure every student has access to technology, school meals, mental health services, and safe learning environments.

Higher Education: Make College, Trade, Workforce Training, Apprenticeships, and Community College more affordable by increasing Pell Grants, reducing Student Debt burdens, and investing in research, innovation, and workforce development.

Education is an investment in America’s economic competitiveness and democratic future.

Immigration should be limited and legal. The two largest factors driving immigration would better address the issues we are facing. First: We need to fix our flawed foreign policy that has led to destabilization and driven migration. Second: We need to extend labor and wage protections to all workers, regardless of immigration status. Companies that profit off of illegal labor and the suppression of wages through the H-1B visa program have gotten a pass for far too long. Simply pretending all of your problems are because of immigrants misplaces the blame away from the system that creates and profits from it. Both parties have missed on these core issues.

Not in the near term, however it will certainly be a large factor throughout the rest of the century. We need to be seeking out alternative energy production and storage technologies regardless of your view on climate change. Just as whale oil was replaced by coal and later replaced by gas and diesel, human innovation will move on. We should be seeking out the next reliable source whether it is nuclear, solar, geothermal, etc. or a combination. If oil and carbon are truly the biggest threats, I'd like someone to justify expanding our military budget under both parties for decades when the US military is the largest carbon footprint in the world with our 800+ bases. Elected officials seemingly haven't reckoned with that reality.

My two top domestic priorities are transparency in government spending and reducing home prices. My proposed American Prosperity Card Act will give Americans access to banking backed directly by US Treasuries and earning the FULL Treasury rate. This will limit and recapture merchant swipe fees to bolster the EITC and CTC as well as fund direct debt paydown with no new taxes and no new spending. This will provide necessary relief to the working class and small businesses, who pay higher swipe fees than large retailers. It will also provide direct feedback through the Treasury rate on how the government is handling our money. On housing, our tax code has made housing the most tax advantaged asset class in the country for 40 years. Simply closing the 27.5yr depreciation loophole will remove much of that. I'd also explore legislation to require investment homes to be funded by small business loans, not 30yr conforming mortgages that should be reserved for resident home owners.

It is the FIRST Amendment for a reason. Citizens should be allowed to disagree with and speak out against their government. The Second Amendment is for when that right fails. We have two and a half centuries of legal precedent on what is protected and unprotected speech. Without the ability to openly discuss our beliefs and ideas, we have no hope of working together and crossing the largely artificial divides placed between us. The founders also referred to it as 'the' freedom of speech. Not something our government gave us, but something humans already have that our government cannot abridge. That distinction is important in understanding how essential that right is and why we must protect it vigorously.

Per the Constitution, all three branches have certain oversite privileges over federal agencies. That is the point of establishing three co-equal branches. In large part Congress has failed in upholding that responsibility, as they have allowed Executive power to override them for a long time. This isn't a complicated question. It is however a very complicated repair.

If additional documentation is required to prove citizenship, that documentation should be easily accessible and provided by the relevant agencies at no cost. Anything short of that is voter suppression and akin to a poll tax, which I think we should all agree is immoral and illegal. We already have nearly a third of the country who have checked out of electoral politics. We shouldn't be making it harder to vote.

Beyond the federal responsibility to fund education and ensure that money is apportioned correctly, specific education decisions are best made at the local level. Those who are opposed to federal funding for education do need to understand that it is a critical piece of our national security and sovereignty.

I support humane, orderly immigration reform focused on real threats, not fear and force. Specifically: fund the immigration courts to clear the backlog that traps people in limbo for years, pass the Dream Act, create an earned pathway for people who have lived and contributed here for years, and process asylum seekers fairly and humanely. Why? Because the current system fails everyone at once. It leaves the border chaotic, keeps hardworking families in fear, and offers no orderly, legal way forward. We can enforce the law and treat people with dignity at the same time. A country that believes in its own stated values would do both.

Yes. Climate change is already a financial threat, and we are paying for it right now. In Northeast Florida it shows up in homeowner insurance premiums climbing on storm and flood risk, in property damage from worsening floods, and in the cost of repairing infrastructure that was not built for the conditions we now face. Nationally, disaster recovery, crop losses, and strained insurance markets run into the hundreds of billions. Ignoring it does not make it cheaper. It makes it more expensive, because prevention and adaptation always cost less than disaster. Treating this as a real economic risk, and investing to get ahead of it, protects families, businesses, and taxpayers alike.

Protect Our Future. We owe the next generation a country that still works. That means fully funding public education, enacting sensible gun legislation, divesting from overseas conflicts and bringing those resources home, reining in exploitive technologies deployed without accountability, and prosecuting those who have broken the public's trust.

Make Life More Affordable. People are working harder than ever and still falling behind. I would fight for higher wages, end the price gouging that drains families on rent, groceries, healthcare, prescriptions, and education, ask the wealthiest to pay their fair share, defend body autonomy, and champion a Universal Basic Income that gives people real security.

Freedom of speech means the government cannot punish us for what we say, believe, or write, especially when we criticize those in power. That protection is the foundation everything else stands on, and it has to cover speech we disagree with, because a right that only protects popular opinions is not a right at all.

Both do, and that shared responsibility is the point. Under the Constitution, Congress creates federal agencies, sets what they are allowed to do, funds them, and conducts oversight to make sure they follow the law. The President, as head of the executive branch, carries out those laws and manages the agencies day to day. Neither branch is supposed to have unchecked control. That balance is a feature, not a flaw. It keeps any one person or party from turning the machinery of government into a personal tool. My concern is that real oversight has weakened over time, and I would work to restore Congress's duty to hold every agency accountable to the public it serves, regardless of who sits in the White House.

First, I would work to keep this kind of documentary requirement from becoming a barrier in the first place, because it falls hardest on people who have every right to vote, including women whose current name does not match their birth certificate, older citizens, and working families who cannot easily afford certified copies. But if such a rule takes effect, no eligible citizen should lose their vote over paperwork or cost. I would fight for free and fee-waived access to birth, marriage, and citizenship documents, federal funding so states can provide them at no charge, mobile and online services that reach people where they are, generous timelines, and accepting multiple forms of proof rather than one narrow document. The goal is simple: make it easy for every eligible citizen to prove who they are and cast their vote.

The federal government should make sure every child has a fair shot, no matter their zip code. At the pre-school level, it should invest in early childhood education and childcare, because those first years shape everything that follows and cost too much for most families to afford. At the K-12 level, it should fund public schools strongly and equitably, support teachers and pay them what the job is worth, and protect students with disabilities and those in underfunded districts, while leaving curriculum decisions to local communities. For higher education and job training, it should bring down the cost of college and vocational programs, ease the student debt crushing a generation, and expand apprenticeships and trade paths so a four-year degree is not the only route to a good life. Public money should strengthen public education, not extracted from it.
