Government Accountability
Campaign Finance Reform
Our country has a real problem with the money that goes into our elections, especially outside money from Super PACs that attempt to buy elections. We need to overturn Citizens United and quell the unlimited, untraceable spending on elections from special interest groups and millionaires.
Having elections that can be bought and controlled by the extremely wealthy is a direct threat to our democracy. I oppose the presence of dark money in our local, state, and federal elections.
Protecting Democracy
The January 6th insurrection was a turning point for me as I thought about whether or not to run for public office. I joined the Army at 17 to defend the Constitution, and protect our nation from all enemies, both foreign and domestic, and it remains painful to know that veterans like me took part in this after being disillusioned and misled by our nation’s leaders.
Protecting the right to vote and access to free and fair elections is essential to the health of our democracy, which is why I support the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.
