"A progressive values platform for NJ26 Assembly responds to populist enthusiasm and activism. As a states rights activist, I propose leadership values to show Washington the way."
​
PLATFORM
Single payer health insurance overseen in Trenton covering everyone while expandind Medicare, Medicaid, pharmaceuticals, women's health, and veterans in a cost effective manner.​
Humane approaches to civility for gun safety through computer technology background checking and immigration vetting and support. Civility in women's rights patient-doctor relationship for all procedures, equal pay for equal work at the job, affordabnle preschool and childcare through public education, college, and vocational orientation. The intact family unit is not a social experiment of Congressional immigration failures. It's responding to progress.
Educational taxation is non-divisive favoring public schooling. Research and scientific encouragement in climate, water, and air purity are culturally positive by expanding employment opportunities and enhancement of urban development. Public safety controlling gangs, drugs, and guns should secure our cities. Improving our quality of life without fracking, pipelines, and polluted utilities have no place in America's most urban (populated) state New Jersey, the place we love. Resolving financial funding and contractual obligations amicably are secondary to geographic recreational activity available to us here in New Jersey.
