Campaign website

Rab's campaign website stated the following:

FIGHT CORRUPTION - PROTECT ELECTION INTEGRITY

We are behind in progress, behind in health care, behind in housing, behind in removing poverty, behind in removing student debt, behind in decent income level. We are behind because of corruption and corrupt system. I am fighting massive election malconduct in the early counting of votes. Check out my YouTube channel about my fight in court. I will eliminate corruption because no one is above the law. Support me to protect democracy. Support me to uphold justice.

EDUCATION AND STUDENT DEBT RELIEF

The sacred transfer of advancement to our next generation is through education that leads to the ultimate success of our society. Envisioning endless possibilities towards progress, students must be supported as the ultimate gateway to the future. I am fighting for debt free education to secure a debt free nation. The burden of student debt must be removed.

HOMELESSNESS & POVERTY

Growing homelessness is alarming, needs urgent action with mental health, rehabilitation programs and accountable federal funding. The economic shutdown under Covid-19 pandemic has hurt us all, with many facing poverty, struggling to support their families. I will fight to remove poverty and press for a meaningful housing project to end homelessness.

BETTER JOBS, ECONOMY, TRADE & NATIONAL DEBT

I will bolster rewards for big job creators with incentives and tax relief to boost our economy with more income. I will offer relief to small business from burdensome regulations and promote small business conditions. I will work with large business entities to bring back job growth here in America.

HEALTHCARE FOR ALL

We learnt a great deal through the Covid-19 pandemic and we were caught unprepared, as most medication is manufactured and imported from abroad. I will ensure that all medication should be manufactured here in America, so we can create thousands of better paying jobs, improve our economy and that are not dependent on foreign countries in case of an emergency. I believe that healthcare rights are human rights and every American deserves full and free healthcare with better Medicare for All. I will fight to remove health care complexities and secure that we are protected from all health hazards. Cost of prescription drugs is high and not affordable. There should be no co-pay and no out of pocket costs to ease financial stress on American families.

HOUSING & WELFARE

With worsening living conditions, growing hardships, affordable housing out of reach, lower income and high cost of living is hurting the American people. Home buying is impossible. I will fight for affordable housing regulations. I will fight your fight to ease burdensome complexities for those suffering hardships, seeking social security benefits and welfare.

PROTECT ENVIRONMENT, CLEAN AIR & CLEAN WATER / GREEN NEW DEAL

I support clean air, water, and global protection with Green New Deal. I am committed to control carbon emissions and promote renewable energy. Fracking and other explorations must be strictly restricted, adhering to highest protective standards, annually reviewed for advanced safety application. A permanent restriction should be a better solution for any such extraction to protect our environment. We must stop all federal oil, gas tax subsidies, tax credits in any form whatsoever to discourage such anti-environmental activity and funds be invested on renewable energy. I will press to achieve energy independence and secure a healthier environment for our future generations. Climate change is a real hazard to our present and future generation. This is primarily the reason for urgent attention to Environmental protection and Green New Deal which must be activated for the transformation of a safer future.

SANTA SUSANA NUCLEAR CONTAMINATION - FULL CLEANUP

LA's Nuclear Secret

While condemning nuclear contamination abroad, here at home, attention is needed for a full cleanup of the much-hushed Santa Susana nuclear contamination impacting our district. This has caused detrimental life-threatening health hazards to local communities, for over 50 years and remains unattended. I will take action against this catastrophic environmental negligence and bring resolve with participation of all parties involved.

WOMEN'S RIGHT TO CHOOSE

I support women working in every sphere of our society. Today women lead and serve in every field, including law enforcement and the military services. I support equal opportunity for women, right to decide about their own health and their lives.

EQUALITY & SOCIAL JUSTICE / LGBTQ RIGHTS

Equality and Social Justice are our standards of equal values, freedom, constitutional rights & equal opportunity to excel in our society. I believe in equality, public safety, education, healthcare, better employment without any discrimination whatsoever. Equality is the foundation of our society and I have been fighting for justice against prejudice in court. We are all fellow Americans, as one nation under the umbrella of our constitution that provides equality and the rights to honorably live our lives with freedom and advancement in every aspect of lives. I believe LGBTQ rights are basic human rights and need fullest support as protected in our constitution.

STRENGTHEN SOCIAL SECURITY

Our social security is in a safe setting. Debt reduction on the middle class is necessary and having the wealthy help to protect the struggling people will contribute to the public good. Tax reforms must reward job creators and more jobs will creatively help reduce national debt.

TAX RELIEF

I will fight to offer tax relief for business advancement, job creators and fight to bring back jobs in America to rejuvenate our economy and working climate to offer relief to hardworking families surviving stressfully on month-to-month basis.

PUBLIC SAFETY, NATIONAL SECURITY & GUN CONTROL

I will work nights and days to do more on crime prevention, with added resources, reinforcement, advanced rehabilitation options. I will introduce modern day training of law enforcement personnel to exercise extreme caution and use force as last resort with necessary approval. I will develop friendly international relations with transformational leadership to remove hateful crimes against humanity. I will encourage collective international participation by all nations for global peace and progress. I will evenly extend friendly international partnerships, to jointly promote peace and prosperity. I am a huge fan of constitutional rights, but strict background checks will deter guns falling into wrong hands. Military style assault weapons should not be accessible without strong background checks.

MILITARY & VETERANS

Our military is the keeper of peace, needs non-negotiable advanced defense mechanism and logistical support to protect our homeland. Our VA needs ever more relief, and best choice of health care options.

NON-PROLIFERATION OF NUCLEAR ARMS / FOREIGN POLICY

As global leaders, we must keep our world a safer place, exercise global peace and adopt measures to remove fear of global devastation. I will fight to preserve and promote peace, education, health, and other opportunities leading to global prosperity, with trust and reward. I will fortify our foreign policy to heal the cause of humanity without the world’s defensive need for nuclear arms.

IMMIGRATION REFORMS / JUSTICE REFORMS

We are a land of hope for people all over the world. People escaping worst forms of abuse, seek refuge to save their lives, while in return enrich us with brightest cultures and minds. Protection is in place under U.S. refugee and asylum laws to those facing a legitimate fear of persecution abroad. I will work to remove bureaucratic delays, for those waiting for years to join their family here. I will enforce strictest measures to stop criminal elements from entering our homeland. I support the due process of immigration leading to a peaceful & prosperous life, sharing duties and responsibilities of a healthy society.

PROTECT CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS

Here in America, we are blessed with the declaration of independence that serves us the rights of equal opportunity. It is only upon us to value and preserve these rights, promoting peace, happiness, and progress. I will fight for your rights to ensure that these rights are never compromised.

RELIEF AGAINST HARSH LATE FEES, APRs, PENALTIES, CRUEL INTEREST RATES

American people are already overburdened with day-to-day survival in supporting their families and crushed under unconstitutional harsh financial penalties. Covid-19 pandemic has caused additional burden on the public. I am fighting for proper and sufficient relief to cater for the losses suffered by the public.

PARTISAN POLITICAL CLIMATE

The political climate in Washington, D.C. is partisan, and i will make a difference. Years and years of the same representation is part of the partisan culture. I will jump start action make urgent changes with fair and friendly participation of all sides. I have no commitments with special interest, and no deals to keep. My loyalty is and will always remain with the American people forever.

IMPROVE PARKS & RECREATION

Quality of life matters, and we deserve upgraded recreational facilities to enjoy peaceful and fun filled family time. I will put in my best to secure that our communities in District 32 see a noticeable advancement in our parks and recreational environment with free entertaining park events.

DROUGHT

Even though we get some rainwater, our agriculture uses 80% of water supply. California needs the same amount of water which it always needs, being more than we get. The water rights need resetting for our growing population. Water reforms are needed due to the water shortages to set a fair relief for all.

PROTECTION OF ANIMAL RIGHTS

As global leaders, we set compassionate standards for cruelty against all forms of life. We must continue with our fullest responsibility to care and protect animals and increase the need for larger platforms to protect animals from cruelty. I will work to ensure that animal rights are enforced, honored, and preserved.[4]

I'm passionate about the Environment, Our district has been severely burned by Wildfires and there is more solutions needed. We are home to what experts call "the most contaminated site in the united states"at Santa Susana Field Lab and elected officials have failed to do anything about it.

I'm also passionate about the Economy. Our local small businesses are suffering with burdensome regulations and entry to business ownership is too difficult. Small Businesses are the backbone of our economy. I will fight to empower people to become business owners by providing resources to ease the entry-level path to ownership.

The tax code must re worked so that it doesn't lean on the the middle class.

The homeless crisis has deeply effected our district, I've had many conversations with people on both sides and i understand all perspectives.
