Platform
Stop the Corruption
- Billionaires and big corporations must pay their taxes.
- Freedom is for People, not power.
- We must hold perpetrators and criminals accountable.
- The scourge of abuse and exploitation that is running amok among the powerful must and will be stopped. Women and children are not toys for the depraved to abuse and discard. We will no longer allow people anywhere to be owned, traded, used, and abused; not for obscene profit, not for obscene perversion.
- Protect Social Security and Medicare from cuts that would harm retirees
Families Before Billionaires
- Groceries and Household Goods
- End Tariffs
- End Fertilizer Shortage
Housing
- We must unleash our ingenuity and purpose to build new housing that embraces bringing together low cost energy solutions, people centered planning, and pricing efficiencies.
Raising the minimum wage.
- $15/hour
- We must protect small businesses with access to credit, fair markets, and reduced bureaucratic burden.
- Small businesses and start-ups can be protected by creating a fund that helps pay people while new businesses get off the ground and existing businesses adopt people centered success agendas.
Lowering taxes for ordinary people.
- Anyone fighting to take care of themselves and their family at the poverty line deserves to take home their whole paycheck.
- Families with young children and low income need to keep their pay, not just get credits once a year.
- The burden sharing of funding social security must be spread thinner over a larger range of income that continues further into the upper levels, not just lie heavy on the shoulders of the working class.
Healthcare
- Healthcare is a Right
- The Poison to Profit Pipeline
- Big oil's getting us sick. Big pharma makes the medicine. The insurance industry rakes in the premiums and rations the care. Our hard earned tax money subsidizes these industries so they can steal our money, poison us, and leave our medicine cabinet bare. We are paying them to rip us off. I’ll take on the lying fossil fuel industry and the scheming sickness-for-profit industry.
- I am dedicated to establishing a true American quality of life as we strip the for-profit insurance system of power and deliver free healthcare that will save lives, money, and restore strength to our people
- Free necessary medical care is better for America than elective war-mongering.
- Prioritize Healthcare over Warfare
- Save Rural Hospitals
- In the Senate, I will join with other leaders of vision to make sure no one in Tennessee is more than 30 minutes from the care they need.
Education
- Support competitive teacher pay to recruit and retain great educators
- Invest in early childhood education and pre-K access
- Make college and vocational training more affordable and accessible
