What I really seek is an end to the power of the wealthy over the lives of working people. As we work to put workers in power, there are many specific ways we can make large and small improvements for ordinary people. We can tax the rich, whose wealth is entirely created by workers, to pay for society’s needs.
Decent housing at low cost needs to be a state priority. Wealthy developers, like the incumbent U.S. congress District 20, put profit first. While environmentally unsound housing developments for the wealthy go unfilled, hundreds of thousands have no housing at all.
Among the goals we need to push for are:
- Decent jobs and labor rights for all.
- Free education for all, from preschool through university.
- Free high-quality universal health care.
- End all discrimination. Full rights for immigrants.
- Environmental restoration and protection: Solar and wind power need to be implemented in environmentally responsible ways to replace fossil fuels. Public transportation with free or nominal fares can greatly reduce the need for automobile use.
I ask for your support in my campaign. I reject all corporate contributions, and seek the support of workers and small business people to defend them from the predatory power of the billionaires. People are power!
