Issue Position: Restoring Trust in the Political Process

Issue Position

I vow to never take money from any corporate political action committee as long as I am running for political office. I want my constituents to know that I am looking out for their welfare, not the profits of corporations.

Over the past several decades, public trust in our institutions has steadily eroded across all sectors -- public, private, and non-profit. Constituents should be able to go about their daily lives knowing that the people who represent them are making decisions for the greater good and working to build better communities for us all. In today's political environment, that is simply not the case, and has not been the case for a long time.

We need elected leaders who believe that a benevolent and transparent government plays a vital and beneficial role in peoples' lives. A government that protects the people it serves puts appropriate regulations in place on businesses acting in bad-faith, which rebuilds trust in private institutions as well.
