What are your positions on economic policies (ex: inflation, taxes, regulations, etc.)?
The keys to stimulating an enduring economic recovery is fighting high prices from greedy corporations and granting tax cuts to the middle class, not the ultra-wealthy. Despite inflation’s decline since its high in 2022, many corporations...
What is your position on addressing the cost of housing?
Because affordable housing is a complex subject and affects many people in a wide variety of circumstances, it must be addressed in a multi-pronged approach. Therefore, I support Vice President Harris’s proposals...

What is your position on LGBTQ rights? (ex: marriage, adoption, gender-affirming care, sports participation, etc.)
I thoroughly support LGBTQ rights including marriage, adoption, gender-affirming care, sports participation, bathroom usage, etc. As an activist, I worked hard to remove the religiously-based, unvetted, and purity-culture derived sexuality...
Is there anything else you'd like to add?
I believe Congress should pass the Farm Bill. Since many Americans rely on nutrition assistance, the devastation to producers, processors, and consumers would be incalculable should it not pass. The 2023 extension that averted major disruptions from...
