What uniquely qualifies you for this office?

Unlike every other member of Congress, I have not been corrupted by lobbyists, pharmaceutical corporations, technology corporations, fossil fuel corporations, defense corporations and other large corporate interests.

What are the top three issues for this office in your view?

Ending the Federal Reserve, which has ruined our economy and the financial lives of most Americans. Ending the U.S. war in Ukraine and substantially cutting the extremely bloated military industrial complex budget. Reducing the corruption of all three branches of our federal government.

Ending the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve is the root of so many economic and financial problems Americans are experiencing now.

How much influence should parents have in the classroom versus the federal government?
