My Pledge

I pledge to never own stocks or crypto while serving in office.

What We Must Do

  • Severely limit corporate and international interests' impact on our Congressional processes and our greater democracy
  • Work to be fully transparent about the lobbying and pay-to-play democracy we have created here in 2026
  • End insider trading and endless personal profiteering in Congress
  • Ensure representatives vote on behalf of their constituents, not their financial holdings

I am deeply concerned that career politicians in D.C. are enriching themselves by voting on behalf of their own financial holdings and interests, and not the constituents they are there to actually represent. Many existing politicians accept massive funding from the Fossil Fuel industry, and even more from AIPAC, the pro-Israel lobby.

This lobbying and campaign financing shackles our representatives to advocating for their financiers, and contributes massively to the problems we have with the War on Science, and our country's participation in and funding of genocide.

Priority 02

Universal Human Rights

We need to get back to upholding the dignity of all human beings as a country.

Gaza, West Bank & Palestine

We have egregious human rights violations that have occurred and are still happening now in Gaza, the West Bank and greater Palestine. Basic human rights and due process are being openly disregarded.

ICE Detention Centers

Basic human rights and due process are being openly disregarded by ICE, especially within ICE detention centers. Innocent people are dying at the hands of the United States.

A main priority of mine is addressing these urgent issues, so that the U.S. can be more in line with the United Nations and other advanced democracies in Europe and throughout the world. We must hold ourselves to the highest standards of human rights and dignity.

Priority 03

Free Speech

We do not have free speech anymore in this country. We must work to restore it.

Online Censorship

Blatant censorship plagues social media platforms. We must work to restore free speech online and ensure platforms are not arbitrarily silencing voices based on political viewpoints.

Media Conflicts of Interest

Conflicts of interest driven by money have rendered cable networks and most written, mainstream news sources almost completely unreliable. We need transparency in media ownership and funding to restore trust in journalism.

Workplace Speech

Coercive professional environments infringe upon free speech, as fear of losing out on salary and healthcare often stifle political commentary or dissent from employees. Workers should not have to choose between speaking their minds and keeping their jobs.

True democracy requires the free exchange of ideas. We must protect and restore free speech in all its forms while maintaining accountability for hate speech and incitement to violence.
