Economic Inequality - A lot of OH12 is lacking quality career choices and the ability to work remotely in most cases. I will push for new and better careers to the region and internet access to allow remote work and draw in business to the region.
Education - The people of OH12 have struggled with school funding for longer than I have been alive. I will ensure we do more to direct funding to where it is needed in our schools.
Environment - We can create great paying careers and clean up the environment. There are many opportunities for environmental remediation work and new infrastructure. I will work to ensure the benefits of federal funding land in our back yards.
Every citizen of this nation should have the right to vote, and it shouldn't be a hassle. We all have the right to be heard.
Effective immigration reform policies in the United States should aim to balance the needs of national security, economic growth, and humanitarian concerns.
Possible solutions would include things like creating a more streamlined pathway to citizenship, updated visa programs, implementing more effective ways to ensure that employers hire legal workers, and working with other nations to assist in relieving the root causes of emigration.
My foreign policy and national security priorities are centered around promoting global stability, human rights, and democracy. I will always emphasize the importance of maintaining strong alliances, employing diplomatic solutions wherever possible, and ensuring that military action is a last resort, guided by clear objectives and legal frameworks. On national security, my focus is on enhancing cyber defenses, countering terrorism effectively while respecting civil liberties, and addressing the root causes of global conflicts, such as economic disparities and climate change. My approach attempts a balance between assertive action when necessary and a deep commitment to ethical international engagement.
My position on environmental policy and natural resource management is focused on sustainable practices and addressing climate change. I advocate for transitioning to renewable energy sources to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and decrease greenhouse gas emissions. Emphasizing conservation and responsible management of natural resources, I support policies that protect ecosystems and biodiversity. My approach includes investing in green technology and infrastructure, as well as promoting environmental education and awareness. Recognizing the global nature of environmental challenges, I also support international cooperation on climate action.
My healthcare policy emphasizes the importance of universal access to quality medical care. I advocate for affordable healthcare solutions, ensuring that all individuals, regardless of their economic status, have access to necessary medical services. This includes supporting initiatives that lower prescription drug prices and improve healthcare infrastructure, especially in underserved rural areas. My approach also focuses on preventive care, mental health services, and the integration of innovative technologies in healthcare to improve efficiency and patient outcomes. I believe in a healthcare system that is compassionate, comprehensive, and accessible to everyone.
The government plays a crucial role in ensuring that no person is discriminated against. It needs to involve enacting and enforcing anti-discrimination laws that protect individuals from unfair treatment based on race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability, age, and other characteristics. The government should also promote policies that foster equality and inclusivity in various sectors, including employment, education, healthcare, and housing. Additionally, it's vital for government agencies to monitor and address systemic discrimination and provide avenues for individuals to report and seek redress for discriminatory practices. This commitment to combating discrimination is essential for the kind of society I want to live in.
