Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Invest American money into the American People. Trickle down economics has failed to produce results. Subsidizing projects for corporations to reap the benefits while working class Americans struggle is fiscally irresponsible.

We need policy that helps the people more than the industries. Redirecting subsidies from multi-billion dollar corporations to public education and health programs would produce a stronger, more capable work force and middle class, in turn creating a strong economy for markets.Rights given in the Constitution are enshrined in law, and all persons under American jurisdiction are to be given due process regardless of status in society. Meaning, no one is above the law, nor is anyone outside the protection of it. America is a land of laws, and they must be upheld.Our representatives should be listening to their constituents and transparent with their dealings in Washington. While in office, a biweekly video update would be issued online with a monthly digital town hall meeting.

Those in office should be voting based on what their constituents desire, not what party lines are demanding. In order to know what that is, they have to be available and to listen more than once a year.
