What is my platform?

We should preserve and protect law abiding citizens rights to firearms for hunting, sport, and protection. We also need to enact and enforce laws that will keep firearms out of the hands of those in danger to themselves or others. Lastly, we need to have proper firearm handling training for everyone to help prevent accidents.

From a personal stance abortion should be used to protect the life, safety, and sanity of the mother. However, the exact details of that are too complex to blanket across all people. So, it should be an ethical and moral decision between a woman and her doctor and the government should stay out of it. The best we can do is to provide age appropriate sex education to help prevent unplanned pregnancies' in the first place. 

We need a better system of mass transit, especially in areas outside the cities. Not only will this help people who are unable to drive, it will also help the environment and traffic congestion on our roads. This means we need to add infrastructure for commuter trains, busses, and walking/biking paths between them.

Tax reform needs to be done to make sure the top 1% are paying their fair share both personally and as a business. 

Everyone should have the same opportunities and chances regardless of their race, age, sex, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, religion or any other such factor. This means providing equity until the institutional systems are fixed. 

Example of Equality vs Equity vs Justice

We need to do all we can to protect our environment and heal the damage we have already done. However, we must be careful to not detrimentally impact our laborers. Changing from fossil fuels to green energy and sustainable mining practices require not only changing of equipment, but also training for workers. 

Voters are frustrated by increasing divisions and extremism in our politics, partisan gridlock preventing action on critical issues and too many elections where candidates win without majority support; Ranked Choice Voting is a simple, commonsense change to the ballot, but one that is well-suited to meet these challenges.
