My name is Jermaine Decker, and I’m running as an independent because I believe Washington should answer to the people, not political parties or special interests. Before Washington asks for more of your trust, your vote, or your tax dollars, it needs to earn that trust back. My first priority is fighting corruption, because if the system itself is broken, no new policy will truly serve the American people. I stand firmly on the Constitution. I believe our constitutional rights are fundamental and I will defend them without compromise. It’s time to restore accountability, put power back into the hands of the people, and make everyday essentials more affordable. I’m not running to become a career politician. I’m running to restore accountability, put power back into the hands of the people, and remind Washington that government works for the people, not the other way around.
