A Government that Actually Represents Us
A Government that Actually Represents Us
Our government is broken.
We live in a representative democracy – yet so many of us don’t feel represented. Because we aren’t.
I understand why so many people don’t trust that our government is working in our best interests. Because in so many cases, it isn’t. The system is rigged against us, which is why I’m focused on reforming our government so we can reclaim our power.
Campaign finance laws make it so corporations and wealthy individuals can spend without limit on our elections.
Members of Congress get rich from trading stocks while their constituents at home struggle.
Rampant gerrymandering lets politicians choose their voters instead of the other way around.
If we are going to solve any of the crises we face – access to affordable healthcare and housing, ensuring that AI doesn’t take all of our jobs, protecting our environment, and so many more – we have to fix what’s broken in our government.
Every other fight we need to win depends on having a government that actually works for the people.
That's why government reform is at the top of my agenda.
What I’ll work for in Congress to fix it:
Limit political spending by massive corporations
A constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United and restore power to the people
End partisan gerrymandering by requiring independent redistricting commissions, ensuring free and fair elections where every vote counts equally
Ban congressional stock trading
Set reasonable age limits for members of Congress, President, and Vice President
Institute a lobbying moratorium or ban for members of Congress after they’ve left office
Establish term limits for members of Congress
Institute term limits and a binding Code of Judicial Ethics for the Supreme Court
