Did not answer

"Let this be clear ... If you are anti-muslim, anti-jewish, anti-christian, anti-athiest, anti-any other religion, you do not support our US Constitution. Period. There is no rebuttal. We believe in all rights."

HEALTHCARE
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.
Did not answer
iVoterGuide Notes:
"I have examined several of the proposed policies and feel the best plan forward would be similar to Pete’s (Buttigieg) Medicare for All Who Want It plan; it is projected that it will cost about $1.5 trillion over 10 years. It will be paid for by rolling back the Trump corporate tax cuts, which will generate $1.4 trillion in revenue, and the rest from cost savings that result from empowering the federal government to negotiate drug prices with pharmaceutical companies. It is important not to modify health care plans that are working for people."
I support the elimination of private healthcare insurance.

EDUCATION
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Did not answer
iVoterGuide Notes:
"According to some of the research I have read, the most cost-effective way to increase the number of Americans who get a four-year degree, they found, is to increase tax-payer spending at all public colleges and eliminate tuition for students from families with incomes under $60,000 a year. Free community college, an increasingly popular idea, is much less effective, actually reducing four-year college education rates while low-income Americans reap the smallest benefits, the researchers found. General tuition cuts for all aren’t as bad but lowering the price of college turns out to be not as effective as increasing instructional spending at colleges."
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Did not answer
I support adding sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression as protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
