“A full-time job should be enough to live with dignity — and if it isn’t, the system is broken.”
Working families are being crushed from every direction.
*Groceries cost more.
*Housing costs more.
*Utilities cost more.
*Healthcare costs more.
Yet wages have not kept up — even as productivity and corporate profits have soared.
This is not the result of laziness or bad choices.
It is the result of a rigged economic system, where corporate oligarchies control pricing, suppress wages, and shift costs onto everyday people.
The economy is growing — but most people are falling behind.
That is not an accident.
It is policy failure.
I will fight to lower the cost of living, raise wages toward a thriving wage, and restore economic security for working people and families in Georgia’s 14th District.
No one who works full time should struggle to survive.
No family should live one emergency away from collapse.
Work must pay — not just barely survive.
If work creates value, workers deserve their fair share.
Families are being squeezed by costs they cannot control.
I will work to:
Lowering costs is just as important as raising pay — families need both.
Economic security begins with stable shelter and affordable essentials.
No one should be priced out of their own community.
Economic security depends on real, lasting jobs.
Good jobs should exist where people live, not only where corporations extract profit.
The problem is not success — it is abuse.
A fair economy rewards work, innovation, and contribution — not exploitation.
Economic security should be the foundation of a good life — not a luxury.
If people work hard and play by the rules, they should be able to live with dignity, security, and hope for the future.
“We don’t have a healthcare system in America — we have a sick-care system. It treats symptoms, not health, and it bankrupts families in the process.”
America spends more on healthcare than any nation on Earth — yet our outcomes are worse, our life expectancy is declining, and millions of families live in fear of medical bills.
This is not a failure of doctors or nurses.
It is a failure of a system designed around profit extraction, not human health.
Our current system:
This is not healthcare.
It is corporate-driven sick care.
I will fight to replace our broken sick-care system with a Universal Wellness System that guarantees care for everyone, focuses on prevention and mental health, and lowers costs for families and employers.
Health should be a right — not a luxury or a gamble.
A true healthcare system should keep people well, not just treat them when they’re already sick.
A Universal Wellness System means:
This system can be implemented through a Medicare-for-All–style framework, while being clearly focused on wellness, prevention, and long-term health, not corporate billing.
The current system is designed to maximize revenue — not outcomes.
I will work to:
Healthcare dollars should go to care, not corporate middlemen.
Mental health has been treated as secondary for far too long.
A Universal Wellness System must include:
Healthy communities require healthy minds.
Prevention costs less than crisis care — and real health depends on how people live every day, not just what happens in a doctor’s office.
A true wellness system prioritizes:
By focusing on the full picture of human health — body, mind, and community — we can:
This approach is not radical.
It is common sense, evidence-based, and focused on keeping people well — not keeping them paying.
Healthcare should bring peace of mind — not constant anxiety.
A system that profits from sickness will never create a healthy society.
Healthcare should exist to help people live well — not to extract wealth from their suffering.
“The biggest divide in America is not left versus right — it’s a government captured by money and power instead of the people it serves.”
The greatest threat to our democracy is not partisanship — it is corruption.
Too many elected and appointed officials no longer represent the people who vote for them.
They represent corporate donors, lobbyists, and special interests who fund campaigns, write legislation, and profit from insider access.
This is why:
This is not democracy malfunctioning.
It is democracy being systematically undermined.
I will hold all elected and appointed officials accountable to their oath to the Constitution, end legalized corruption, and return government to the people it is meant to serve.
Public office is a responsibility — not a business model.
Corruption is built into the system through money.
I will fight to:
Elections should be decided by voters — not by who writes the biggest check.
Democracy works best when voters have real choices.
I support:
The public owns the public airwaves.
They should serve democracy — not just advertisers.
No one should be allowed to profit from the laws they help write.
I support:
Public office should never be a pathway to insider wealth.
The revolving door between government, corporations, and lobbyists fuels corruption.
I will work to:
Influence should be public, accountable, and open — or not exist at all.
Government needs experience — not permanent political classes.
I support:
Public service should be a chapter of life — not a lifelong entitlement.
Holding public office requires responsibility and capability.
I support:
No one is above the law.
No position excuses misconduct.
When corruption is removed, progress becomes possible.
No one is above the law.
Public power must serve the public — always.
“America should be strong enough to defend itself, wise enough to avoid unnecessary wars, and honorable enough to care for every person it sends into harm’s way.”
Core Reality
For decades, the United States has been drawn into endless foreign conflicts with unclear goals, shifting justifications, and devastating human costs.
Too often, war has become the default tool of foreign policy rather than the last resort.
The consequences are real:
*American lives lost or permanently changed
*Families and communities carrying lifelong trauma
*Trillions of dollars spent while basic needs at home go unmet
*Veterans returning to a system that fails to fully support them
Strength is not measured by how often a nation goes to war.
It is measured by judgment, restraint, and responsibility.
I will support a foreign policy that prioritizes peace, diplomacy, and defense — not aggression or endless intervention.
The United States should never enter aggressive wars.
Military force should only be used defensively, when the United States or our treaty allies are directly attacked or face an imminent threat.
War must always be the last resort — not the first response.
I support a clear, disciplined doctrine:
*The United States will defend itself if attacked
*The United States will honor its treaty obligations, including NATO, if allies are attacked
*The United States will not initiate wars of choice, regime-change conflicts, or open-ended military occupations
Every use of force must have:
*A clear mission
*A defined endpoint
*Congressional authorization
*Transparent accountability to the American people
If these conditions are not met, military action should not proceed.
America’s strength is undermined by permanent war.
I will work to:
*End unauthorized and open-ended military engagements
*Reassert Congress’s constitutional authority over declarations of war
*Prioritize diplomacy, conflict prevention, and international cooperation
*Reduce the influence of defense contractors and profit-driven war incentives on foreign policy decisions
War should never be a business model.
Sending someone to serve is not just a military decision — it is a lifelong moral obligation.
If the nation asks someone to risk their life, the nation must commit to caring for them for life.
I believe:
*There should not be a single homeless veteran in the United States — period
*Veterans should be guaranteed stable housing for life
*Veterans should receive comprehensive healthcare, including mental health care, without bureaucratic barriers
*Veterans’ families should receive strong support during and after service
Caring for veterans is not charity.
It is a debt owed.
A nation is strongest when its people are secure.
True national security includes:
*Economic security for working families
*Strong infrastructure and energy independence
*Resilient communities and a healthy population
*Trust between citizens and their government
A country that neglects its people at home cannot sustainably lead abroad.
*Fewer families burdened by endless war and repeated deployments
*Real accountability for decisions that send Americans into harm’s way
*Guaranteed dignity, housing, and care for veterans who return home
*A foreign policy that reflects the values of restraint, responsibility, and honor
Peace is not weakness.
It is wisdom.
America should be strong enough to defend itself,
humble enough to avoid unnecessary war,
and committed enough to care for every veteran for life.
“Protecting the environment isn’t about ideology — it’s about protecting our health, our communities, and our future.”
Environmental damage is not an abstract problem.
It shows up in people’s bodies, their water, their air, and their medical bills.
In many parts of Georgia’s 14th District, families are living with:
*Contaminated water, including PFAS and other forever chemicals
*Air pollution linked to higher rates of asthma, cancer, and chronic illness
*Aging energy infrastructure that raises costs without improving reliability
*Utility systems that prioritize corporate profit over public health
*Pollution drives healthcare costs up.
It shortens lives.
And it disproportionately harms rural and working-class communities.
Environmental harm is a public health crisis.
I will fight for clean air, clean water, and an energy system that protects public health, lowers costs, and serves communities — not corporate monopolies.
Environmental protection and economic security must go hand in hand.
No community should have to choose between jobs and health.
Access to clean water is non-negotiable.
I will work to:
*Aggressively address PFAS and other forever-chemical contamination
*Hold polluters accountable for cleanup costs instead of shifting the burden to taxpayers
*Strengthen water testing, transparency, and public notification standards
*Protect groundwater, rivers, and local water supplies as essential infrastructure
If a company pollutes a community, that company should pay to fix it.
Energy policy should reduce household bills — not increase them.
I support:
*Expanding clean energy sources that are practical and effective for this region, including solar and next-generation energy technologies
*Modernizing the electric grid to improve reliability and reduce long-term costs
*Preventing private energy deals that allow large corporate users to buy discounted power while passing costs onto families and small businesses
*Protecting consumers from rate hikes tied to energy-hungry developments, including large-scale data centers
Energy systems should work for the people who depend on them every day.
Utilities are essential services — not luxury products.
I will work to:
*Increase transparency and oversight of utility companies
*Explore cooperative and publicly accountable energy models where communities have a real voice
*Ensure energy decisions prioritize reliability, affordability, and public health
When people have a stake in their energy systems, outcomes improve.
Environmental protection can and should create good jobs.
I support:
*Clean manufacturing and environmental remediation jobs that pay living wages
*Local hiring and workforce development tied to cleanup and infrastructure projects
Ensuring environmental investments strengthen local economies instead of extracting wealth
Protecting the environment and supporting workers are not competing goals.
*Cleaner drinking water and healthier communities
*Lower long-term healthcare costs linked to pollution exposure
*More reliable and affordable energy
*Jobs that protect health while building the future
*Communities empowered instead of exploited
Environmental health is community health.
Clean air and clean water are basic rights.
Energy should serve the public.
A healthy environment is the foundation of a healthy society.
“Our rights are not favors granted by politicians — they are guarantees that protect every person equally.”
Civil and constitutional rights are the foundation of a free society.
Yet across the country, those rights are increasingly treated as conditional — applied differently depending on politics, wealth, or who someone is.
When rights are weakened for one group, they are weakened for everyone.
Freedom is not selective.
Equal protection under the law is not optional.
I will defend the Constitution, protect civil liberties, and ensure equal protection under the law for all Americans — without exception.
Government exists to protect rights, not to decide whose rights matter.
Medical decisions should be guided by medical judgment and personal conscience — not political interference.
I support:
*Protecting personal bodily autonomy within clear, medically grounded limits
*Respecting fetal viability standards based on medical consensus, with a responsible framework centered around early-term access and later-term care guided by medical necessity
*Ensuring that women are not criminalized or politicized for private medical decisions
*Reducing the number of abortions by addressing root causes — economic insecurity, lack of healthcare, lack of support — rather than punishment
The goal should be fewer crises, fewer desperate choices, and more healthy families — not government control.
The Constitution promises equal protection under the law.
I will defend:
*Freedom from discrimination in employment, housing, healthcare, and public life
*Equal treatment for every American, regardless of background, identity, or belief
*The right to live safely, openly, and without fear of harassment or violence
Protecting equal rights is not about elevating one group above another.
It is about ensuring the law applies fairly to everyone.
A free society requires open expression and honest disagreement.
I support:
*Strong protections for free speech and peaceful assembly
*Religious freedom without using belief as a justification to harm or exclude others
*The right to disagree without government retaliation or censorship
Freedom means protecting speech we agree with — and speech we do not.
Liberty depends on limits to government power.
I will defend:
*Strong protections against warrantless surveillance and data abuse
*Due process rights in all legal and administrative proceedings
*Limits on government intrusion into private lives without clear justification and oversight
A government powerful enough to violate privacy without restraint is a threat to freedom.
*Equal protection under the law for every resident
*Personal freedoms protected without political interference
*A community where differences are handled through law, not fear or force
*Rights defended consistently, not selectively
Freedom works best when it applies to everyone.
The Constitution belongs to all of us.
Rights are not partisan.
Equal protection is the foundation of a free and just society.
“Our children are not products, and their attention is not for sale. Education should help kids grow — not overwhelm them.”
Children today are growing up in an environment their parents never faced.
*Phones in classrooms.
*Algorithms designed to hijack attention.
*Social media platforms engineered for addiction.
*Constant digital pressure during critical stages of development.
At the same time, families are under stress:
*Rising costs
*Long work hours
*Limited support systems
*Schools asked to do more with fewer resources
This is not a failure of parents or teachers.
It is a failure of policy to keep pace with reality.
I will support policies that protect children’s development, strengthen families, and ensure education prepares students for life — not just tests.
Children deserve space to learn, grow, and build real human connection.
Classrooms should be places of focus, safety, and engagement.
I support:
*Phone-free classrooms during the school day so students can concentrate and connect
*Clear, consistent school policies that support teachers and reduce distractions
*Learning environments that prioritize critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration
Education works best when students are present — mentally and emotionally.
Technology should serve children — not exploit them.
I support:
*Age-appropriate limits on social media access, including restrictions for children under 16
*Parental consent and oversight for older teens
*Strong accountability for platforms that design addictive systems targeting minors
*Data privacy protections for children and families
Child development must come before corporate profit.
Families are the foundation of a healthy society.
I support:
*Policies that give parents real tools and authority to guide their children’s development
*Resources that help families manage technology, education, and mental health challenges
*Respect for parental involvement without shifting the entire burden onto families alone
Parents should be supported — not left to fight billion-dollar platforms by themselves.
Schools should prepare students for meaningful participation in society.
I support:
*Strong public education with local accountability
*Career and technical education alongside college pathways
*Teaching practical life skills, civic understanding, and critical thinking
Education should open doors — not narrow futures.
*Healthier learning environments for students
*Less distraction and stress in classrooms
*Better support for parents and teachers
*Students better prepared for adulthood, work, and citizenship
Protecting children protects the future.
*Children deserve protection, not exploitation.
*Families deserve support, not blame.
*Education should build strong, capable, connected human beings.
“In the richest country in the world, no one should be one missed paycheck away from losing their home.”
*Housing costs have exploded while wages lag behind.
*Rent is rising faster than pay.
*Homeownership is out of reach for many working families.
*Property taxes and insurance costs keep climbing.
*Speculation and corporate ownership are driving prices beyond what communities can afford.
Housing instability ripples through everything:
*Family stress
*Health problems
*Work disruption
*School instability for children
When people cannot afford to live where they work, the system is broken.
I will fight to make housing stable, affordable, and secure — so families can build lives without constant fear of displacement or collapse.
Housing should be treated as a basic human need, not just a financial asset.
Economic security starts with a safe place to live.
I support:
*Expanding affordable housing supply to meet real community needs
*Policies that stabilize rents and prevent sudden, predatory increases
*Encouraging homeownership pathways for working families, not just investors
*Keeping people housed during temporary hardship instead of pushing families into crisis
Stable housing strengthens families, schools, and communities.
When housing becomes a commodity, communities suffer.
I will work to:
*Limit speculative buying that drives up prices and removes homes from local markets
*Increase transparency around corporate ownership of residential housing
*Protect tenants from unfair practices and retaliation
*Ensure housing policy serves residents — not distant shareholders
Homes should be lived in, not hoarded.
Housing costs go beyond rent or mortgages.
I support:
*Utility accountability so families are not forced to subsidize corporate deals or infrastructure costs
*Protection from excessive insurance and fee increases that make housing unaffordable
*Policies that prevent essential services from becoming profit traps
Affordability means addressing all the costs that come with keeping a home.
Homelessness is not inevitable.
It is the result of policy failure.
I support:
*Early intervention programs that keep people housed during job loss, illness, or family crisis
*Housing-first approaches that prioritize stability over punishment
*Strong coordination between housing, healthcare, and social services
Preventing homelessness costs less — and preserves dignity.
*More stable housing for working families and seniors
*Lower risk of displacement and homelessness
*Stronger, more connected communities
*Reduced strain on schools, hospitals, and local services
Housing stability creates community stability.
A home is not a luxury.
It is the foundation of dignity, security, and opportunity.
“No one should have to drive an hour to buy healthy food or see a doctor. Community well-being starts close to home.”
Across much of Georgia’s 14th District, access to basic necessities is uneven.
Many rural and small-town communities face:
*Food deserts where healthy, affordable groceries are scarce
*Limited access to primary care, mental health services, and wellness providers
*Long travel distances for routine appointments and preventive care
*Economic leakage as dollars leave the community instead of staying local
These gaps worsen health outcomes, raise costs, and strain families — especially seniors, children, and low-income households.
This is not a failure of individuals.
It is a failure of policy and investment.
I will work to strengthen community well-being by expanding access to healthy food, local healthcare, and community-owned solutions that keep resources where people live.
Communities should not be dependent on distant corporations to meet basic needs.
Access to nutritious food is foundational to health.
I support:
*Expanding community-owned grocery cooperatives in underserved areas
*Supporting local farmers, producers, and regional food networks
*Incentivizing grocery access in rural and small-town communities
*Keeping food dollars circulating locally instead of extracting profit elsewhere
When communities own essential services, stability improves.
Healthcare should be accessible — not distant.
I support:
*Expanding local clinics and wellness centers in underserved areas
*Supporting cooperative and community-based healthcare models where feasible
*Integrating primary care, mental health, and preventive services
*Reducing barriers to care caused by travel distance and provider shortages
Care works best when it is local, trusted, and continuous.
Local ownership builds long-term strength.
I support:
*Community cooperatives for food, healthcare, and essential services
*Public-private partnerships that prioritize community benefit over extraction
*Policies that allow communities to shape solutions that fit their needs
Resilient communities are built from within.
Access to food and care is about more than convenience.
It affects:
*Chronic disease rates
*Mental health and stress
*Child development and learning
*Overall quality of life
Prevention costs less than crisis response — and dignity matters.
*Healthier communities with better access to food and care
*Reduced travel burdens for families and seniors
*Stronger local economies and community ownership
*Improved long-term health outcomes and lower costs
When communities thrive, everyone benefits.
Health and dignity begin where people live.
Strong communities are built by meeting basic needs locally
“Infrastructure should connect people to opportunity — not lock them out of it.”
Much of our infrastructure was built for a different time and a different economy.
In Georgia’s 14th District, many communities face:
*Limited transportation options outside of cars
*Rural isolation that makes jobs, healthcare, and education harder to reach
*Aging roads, bridges, and utility systems
*Infrastructure decisions made far away, without local input
When infrastructure fails, costs rise — in time, money, health, and opportunity.
Infrastructure is not just concrete and wires.
It is how communities function.
I will fight for infrastructure investments that serve people first, strengthen local economies, and give communities real ownership and voice.
Infrastructure should create opportunity where people live — not extract value and move on.
Transportation should be affordable, accessible, and flexible.
I support:
*Developing Community Greenway networks that safely connect towns, neighborhoods, schools, workplaces, and services
*Supporting low-speed mobility options such as electric bikes, scooters, and neighborhood electric vehicles
*Building charging and support infrastructure that enables clean, affordable transportation
*Reducing transportation costs while increasing access for people who cannot or should not have to rely on cars
Mobility expands opportunity — especially in rural and small-town communities.
Energy infrastructure should be forward-looking and community-centered.
I support:
*Investing in next-generation energy research and deployment, including fusion power, as a long-term solution for clean, reliable energy
*Using regional energy projects to create skilled jobs and keep energy dollars local
*Ensuring that future energy infrastructure prioritizes affordability, reliability, and public benefit
Energy independence strengthens communities and national security.
Utilities are essential services — not luxury markets.
I support:
*Strong oversight of utility companies to protect consumers from unfair rate increases
*Preventing private deals that shift infrastructure costs from corporations onto households
*Exploring cooperative and publicly accountable utility models where appropriate
*Ensuring communities have a voice in decisions that affect essential services
Public necessities should serve the public.
Infrastructure investment should strengthen communities, not bypass them.
I support:
*Local hiring and workforce development tied to infrastructure projects
*Prioritizing projects that improve quality of life and economic resilience
*Ensuring long-term maintenance and sustainability, not short-term fixes
Infrastructure should leave communities stronger than it found them.
*Lower transportation costs and better access to jobs and services
*Cleaner, more affordable mobility options
*Energy investments that create jobs and protect the environment
*Infrastructure decisions shaped by local needs — not distant interests
Strong infrastructure connects people to opportunity.
Infrastructure should unite communities,
expand opportunity,
and serve the public good — now and for generations to come.
“Public safety means protecting people — not just enforcing laws. Justice must be fair, effective, and worthy of public trust.”
Communities need to be safe to thrive.
But safety breaks down when justice systems lose legitimacy, fairness, or accountability.
Across the country, people see:
*Under-resourced law enforcement asked to handle mental health crises
*Over-policing of some communities and under-protection of others
*Victims left without support
*Justice systems that punish poverty instead of preventing harm
Public safety and justice are not opposites.
They must work together — or both fail.
I will support public safety policies that reduce violence, protect communities, respect constitutional rights, and focus on prevention as well as accountability.
Safety should be measured by outcomes — not by fear or force alone.
Effective safety starts with trust.
I support:
*Well-trained, accountable law enforcement focused on serious crime and community protection
*Clear standards, transparency, and oversight to build public confidence
*Alternative response teams for mental health and substance-use crises
*Policies that allow police to focus on safety — not social service gaps
When communities trust those who protect them, everyone is safer.
Justice must be consistent and proportional.
I support:
*Equal treatment under the law, regardless of wealth or status
*Sentencing and bail policies that focus on public safety — not punishment for poverty
*Rehabilitation and reentry programs that reduce repeat offenses
*Victim-centered approaches that prioritize healing and accountability
Justice should reduce harm — not perpetuate it.
The safest communities invest early.
I support:
*Violence prevention programs that address root causes
*Youth engagement, education, and opportunity as crime prevention
*Mental health care, addiction treatment, and community support services
*Coordination between housing, healthcare, and public safety systems
Prevention saves lives and resources.
When veterans return home, the responsibility shifts to us. Failing to provide care and support puts veterans — and communities — at risk.
I support:
*Mental health and transition support for veterans entering civilian life
*Ensuring veterans receive care before crises become emergencies
*Honoring service with real support — not neglect
Supporting veterans is a public safety priority.
*Safer neighborhoods built on trust and accountability
*Better outcomes for victims, families, and communities
*Reduced strain on law enforcement and emergency services
*Justice systems that work — and are trusted
Safety and justice must reinforce each other.
True public safety protects people,
respects rights,
and strengthens communities — not fear.
“Democracy only works when people believe their voice matters — and when the system actually honors it.”
*Too many Americans feel shut out of the democratic process.
*Voters face barriers instead of access
*Districts are drawn to protect politicians instead of voters
*Money and misinformation drown out real voices
*Turnout drops because people believe the system is rigged
When participation falls, trust collapses.
When trust collapses, democracy weakens.
A democracy that does not represent the people cannot endure.
I will protect the right to vote, strengthen democratic participation, and ensure elections are fair, transparent, and accessible — without favoring any party or ideology.
Democracy belongs to the people, not political machines.
Voting should be easy, secure, and accessible.
I support:
*Protecting voting rights from unnecessary restrictions
*Ensuring adequate polling locations, staffing, and equipment
*Making voting accessible for seniors, people with disabilities, and working families
*Safeguarding election security while rejecting fear-based voter suppression
Access and integrity must go together.
Voters should choose their representatives — not the other way around.
I support:
*Ending extreme partisan gerrymandering
*Independent redistricting processes that prioritize fair maps
*Competitive districts that encourage accountability and participation
When elections are competitive, representation improves.
Democracy must evolve with society.
I support:
*Modern election systems that increase participation while protecting security
*Civic education that helps citizens understand their rights and responsibilities
*Clear, accurate information so voters can make informed choices
An informed electorate is the strongest defense of democracy.
Truth matters in a democracy.
I support:
*Transparency around political advertising and funding
*Accountability for deliberate misinformation that undermines elections
*Protecting free speech while strengthening public trust in factual information
Democracy depends on shared reality.
*Fairer elections and stronger representation
*Higher participation and voter confidence
*Less cynicism and greater civic engagement
*A democracy that reflects the will of the people
When people believe their vote matters, democracy thrives.
Democracy works best when everyone can participate,
every vote counts,
and the system earns the public’s trust.
“Small businesses don’t fail because they lack ideas or work ethic — they fail when the system is tilted against them.”
Small businesses are the backbone of local economies, especially in rural and small-town communities like Georgia’s 14th District.
Yet today, many local businesses are struggling not because of lack of effort, but because of unfair market conditions.
Across the country, we see:
*Corporate oligarchies using size and power to dominate entire markets
*Predatory pricing and consolidation that crush local competitors
*Complex regulations that small businesses must navigate without the resources large corporations have
*Access to capital favoring large firms while local entrepreneurs are left behind
When local businesses disappear, communities lose jobs, identity, and economic resilience.
I will fight for a fair, competitive economy where small businesses can start, grow, and thrive — without being pushed out by corporate dominance.
A healthy economy depends on strong local businesses, not just large corporations.
Competition drives innovation and opportunity.
I support:
Even with retraining, disruption is real.
I support:
*Strong worker protections during layoffs and transitions
*Income replacement and support for workers displaced by automation
*Policies that prevent sudden mass displacement without accountability or planning
*Ensuring communities are not left to absorb the fallout alone
No one should lose everything because a machine replaced their job.
Automation creates enormous economic value.
I support:
*Mechanisms to ensure the wealth generated by AI and automation is shared broadly
*Public benefit models where automation-driven gains help fund retraining, income support, and essential services
*Exploring systems where technological productivity contributes to economic security for all
If technology replaces labor, society must replace lost income.
The infrastructure behind AI carries real public costs.
I support:
*Transparency around energy and water use by large AI data centers
*Preventing private deals that give corporations discounted power while raising rates for households
*Ensuring communities hosting AI infrastructure benefit economically, not just bear the costs
Communities should not subsidize corporate profits without consent.
Innovation should respect human dignity.
I support:
*Ethical standards for AI deployment
*Accountability for harmful or discriminatory uses of automated systems
*Policies that keep humans in control of critical decisions affecting lives and livelihoods
Technology must answer to people — not the other way around.
*Protection for workers facing automation-driven disruption
*Access to retraining and new opportunities
*Economic stability during technological transitions
*Fair treatment for communities hosting high-tech infrastructure
The future should be built with people — not at their expense.
Innovation is powerful.
But progress is only real when it improves human lives.
Technology must serve society — not replace it.
Artificial intelligence is advancing at extraordinary speed. Recent incidents have demonstrated that the risks of losing meaningful human control are no longer purely theoretical. Advanced AI agents have already bypassed intended safeguards, circumvented containment systems, accessed the open internet when they were not supposed to, identified vulnerabilities on their own, and in some cases gained unauthorized access to real-world computer systems.
These incidents do not mean that artificial intelligence has completely escaped human control. But they are serious warnings that our ability to develop increasingly powerful and autonomous systems may be advancing faster than our ability to reliably understand, contain, monitor, and control them.
Artificial General Intelligence, or AGI, generally refers to AI capable of performing across an extremely broad range of intellectual tasks at or beyond human capability. There is no single universally accepted definition of AGI, but the central concern is clear: as AI systems become increasingly capable, autonomous, persistent, and able to interact with the real world, the consequences of a failure of human control become increasingly serious.
I support a moratorium on further development toward AGI and other highly autonomous general-purpose AI systems while enforceable national and international safeguards are established. Those safeguards should address human control, independent safety testing, transparency, containment, cybersecurity, shutdown mechanisms, accountability, and clear limits on the autonomy granted to advanced AI systems.
I also support a temporary halt to the construction and expansion of AI data centers, including projects currently under construction, while communities, states, and the federal government fully evaluate their effects on electricity demand, water supplies, utility rates, grid reliability, land use, public infrastructure, cybersecurity, and the communities expected to support them.
AI should remain a tool that serves humanity. Decisions about systems with the potential to profoundly affect our economy, security, democracy, and future should not be made simply because the technology can be developed faster.
“Technology should lift people up, not push them aside. If automation creates wealth, that wealth must be shared.”
Artificial intelligence, automation, and robotics are advancing rapidly — faster than our economic and social systems are prepared to handle.
These technologies will transform:
*Manufacturing and production
*Warehousing, logistics, and distribution
*Office work, customer service, and administrative jobs
*Transportation, retail, and even professional services
While innovation can increase productivity and wealth, it also carries serious risks:
*Large-scale job displacement
*Widening inequality between those who control technology and those who lose work
*Communities hollowed out by automation-driven layoffs
*Private companies capturing enormous gains while workers are left behind
Technology itself is not the enemy.
A system that allows its benefits to flow only upward is.
I will fight for a future where technological progress benefits everyone — not just corporations and shareholders.
If automation increases productivity and wealth, then workers and communities must share in those gains.
No one should be discarded because technology changed.
I support:
*Large-scale job retraining and reskilling programs tied to emerging industries
*Lifelong learning opportunities so workers can adapt as technology evolves
*Public-private partnerships that prioritize worker transition, not just corporate profit
*Support for workers displaced by AI, automation, and robotics before crises hit
The goal is opportunity — not abandonment.
Even with retraining, disruption is real.
I support:
*Strong worker protections during layoffs and transitions
*Income replacement and support for workers displaced by automation
*Policies that prevent sudden mass displacement without accountability or planning
*Ensuring communities are not left to absorb the fallout alone
No one should lose everything because a machine replaced their job.
Automation creates enormous economic value.
I support:
*Mechanisms to ensure the wealth generated by AI and automation is shared broadly
*Public benefit models where automation-driven gains help fund retraining, income support, and essential services
*Exploring systems where technological productivity contributes to economic security for all
If technology replaces labor, society must replace lost income.
The infrastructure behind AI carries real public costs.
I support:
*Transparency around energy and water use by large AI data centers
*Preventing private deals that give corporations discounted power while raising rates for households
*Ensuring communities hosting AI infrastructure benefit economically, not just bear the costs
Communities should not subsidize corporate profits without consent.
Innovation should respect human dignity.
I support:
*Ethical standards for AI deployment
*Accountability for harmful or discriminatory uses of automated systems
*Policies that keep humans in control of critical decisions affecting lives and livelihoods
Technology must answer to people — not the other way around.
*Protection for workers facing automation-driven disruption
*Access to retraining and new opportunities
*Economic stability during technological transitions
*Fair treatment for communities hosting high-tech infrastructure
The future should be built with people — not at their expense.
Innovation is powerful.
But progress is only real when it improves human lives.
Technology must serve society — not replace it.
