With regard to America's foreign policy, which view most closely resembles yours: A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened.

Transparency and accountability are key. As we have seen the FBI lawyer who lied on the affidavit to get the warrant for the Trump admin was not only allowed to plea to a lesser offense but then was reinstated to his job
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.

What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
We need federal candidates that understand that the real battle is and always will be against a ruling class that are continually eroding individual liberty and that the roll of the representative is keep the government in check and not the people.
