Innovation and Energy Independence
The future is written by those who build it. America must drive progress in technology, clean energy, and efficiency, or we will fall behind. But innovation doesn’t happen in a vacuum; it is built on the knowledge and creativity of an educated, healthy society. I will fight to expand research, push clean energy advancements, cut waste and demand accountability across government. Every wasted dollar is a betrayal of taxpayers. Every delay is a lost opportunity for progress.
Healthcare and Education
A sick and uneducated society cannot lead the world. If we want America to lead in technology and innovation, we must first ensure our people are healthy and educated. Every great advancement begins with knowledge — but too many are denied opportunity by medical debt or crushing tuition costs. I’ll work to make universal healthcare and tuition-free higher education a reality, because when we invest in our people, we unlock the full potential of our nation.
A Fair Economy for Working Americans
The backbone of our nation is the working class — yet we are squeezed dry while billionaires hoard unimaginable wealth. This broken system must change. I will block new taxes on working families and demand that extreme wealth finally pays its due. And I will push to raise the minimum wage, because a country where full-time work still leaves families in poverty is a country in decline.
Freedom and Citizenship
Freedom means little if it is denied to those who live, work, and contribute alongside us. I believe in a clear, fair path to citizenship for everyone building a life in America — because if you are part of our communities, pay taxes, raise families, and help strengthen this nation, you deserve the same rights and protections as every other citizen.
Technology is shrinking the world. Our neighbors are no longer just those across the street or the state line — our neighbors are the people of the world. In this century, progress is global, and America can only lead if we embrace that truth. By welcoming those who contribute and unlocking the talents of people already here, we expand not just our workforce but also our potential for innovation.
A free, fair, and forward-looking America doesn’t fear new citizens. It empowers them — and in doing so, empowers us all.
Environment and Infrastructure
America’s beauty is part of who we are — from the Great Lakes to our forests and farmland. Protecting our land and investing in infrastructure doesn’t just preserve the environment — it improves daily life and builds pride in the places we call home.
Strong infrastructure is more than concrete and asphalt — it should add to the pride and character of our communities. From dependable roads and bridges to modern internet and energy, we must build systems that improve quality of life and reflect our values. Thoughtful design, clean public spaces, and well-kept roads aren’t luxuries; they are what make a community worth living in, raising a family in, and passing on to the next generation.
Responsible Gun Rights
The right to bear arms is fundamental — but so is the right of every child to feel safe at school. I will not take away guns, but I will push for responsible safeguards that respect gun ownership while protecting our children and families. Safety and liberty must go hand in hand — and the cost of inaction is one we cannot afford.
Ending Political Corruption
Corruption has become routine in Congress. Lobbyists buy influence, parties demand loyalty, and ordinary people are abandoned. No elected official should fear backlash or threats for voting their conscience. As an independent, I cannot be bought or bullied. The parties have nothing to hold over me. My allegiance is only to the people.
Truth Over Misinformation
Lies spread faster than truth, and our democracy is paying the price. Misinformation divides communities, erodes trust, and leaves citizens vulnerable to manipulation and exploitation. I will stand against the companies and politicians who profit from deception. Freedom of speech is sacred, but it cannot be a shield for those who knowingly spread lies. A democracy that fails to confront deception will watch its foundation crumble.
