AFFORDABILITY STARTS WHERE AUTOCRACY ENDS! Too many Americans are priced out of basic human needs such as housing, healthcare, and food. Going to the grocery store/gas station should not break the bank. I support initiatives that will ease red tape to make services more attainable for those in need. This includes policies that expand access to essential services such as SNAP.

Immediately increase the age at which a young person can stay on their parents health insurance from 26 to 30. Lower Medicare eligibility to 60, reducing the possible retirement age for those waiting for healthcare, which could in turn create jobs for the next generation. This is achievable TODAY as we work towards larger healthcare reform.

Artificial Intelligence is transforming our world, but it must be managed responsibly. I will work to ensure that AI is regulated in ways that safeguard humanity by preventing misuse, protecting civil rights and promoting democratic values.

Social media algorithms are increasingly manipulating and targeting individuals. I will champion legislation that regulates these platforms, demanding transparency and accountability so that the privacy and well-being of you and your family are protected.

The United States Constitution is the foundation of our democracy! Congress has the POWER OF THE PURSE and has seeded too much of its power to the corrupt president! Right now, Congress needs to reassert itself as a co-equal branch, especially when it comes to controlling the nation's purse strings. When that power slips away, so does the power of the people.

I support initiatives that will strengthen and fortify our younger generation, including new ways to help first-time homebuyers build meaningful down payments through tax-advantaged savings tools. I would require developers to construct condomiuniums that could be affordable first home purchases and stop the proliferation of forever rented apartments clogging our towns.

Our veterans and special needs populations require our unwavering support. Veterans deserve access to healthcare, housing, mental health services and good jobs. And we also need to show up for individuals with special needs and their families-supporting them with dignity, resources, and lifelong care.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has become an occupying force in cities across the Nation, including right here in NJ. They are intimidating and bullying citizens and the press who try it cover their egregious actions, and even murdering US Citizens. This must be stopped, and I will fight to end the violence brought about by this mismanaged organization.

Trust in government starts with integrity. I will advocate for robust conflict-of-interest rules across all branches, Executive, Legislative, and Judicial, with real penalties for violations. Congress should not become wealthy from insider trading and shouldn't have better healthcare than private citizens.

My extensive experience in the U.S. military and defense industry, has shown me where our defense budget is bloated. Spending billions on senseless wars and acts of aggression that result in more hate towards the US is hurting us. I will keep our country safe while reallocating a portion of defense spending towards social services and achieving our progressive democratic priorities.

I’m deeply committed to the Constitution. I’ve studied it, debated it, pledged my loyalty to it, and yes, I was ready to risk my life defending it.

But let’s be honest: it feels like it’s becoming an afterthought. We can't let that happen. It's meant to be our structural framework, not a dusty relic.

The solution is straightforward: we need to adjust the tax tables, if you make more, you pay more. We need to eliminate tax breaks that only benefit the wealthiest. Paying your share should be fair.
