Get StartedAbortion I am very direct on this subject - so if you're a sensitive person, read with caution. If you're offended by some of the things I have to say, keep in mind that I was a child who had a failed adoption and was overlooked for 10 years because I wasn't a baby and I was a child of color. I am a strong advocate of a woman’s right to choose. Learn more
I wouldn’t support a 100% government funded abortion, but if someone doesn’t have a job or makes very little, they should be covered. I think their should be a sliding fee scale to cover it and perhaps an “emergency fund” for extenuating circumstances. . Learn more
Because I know many people who have become addicted and dependent on cannabis use, I think there needs to be resources for people who find themselves in a situation they can’t get out of. Specifically for professions like police and military. Learn more
Personally, I believe that everyone over the age of 21 should have access to cannabis, regardless of their profession. It is ridiculous that employers still drug test for this and insurance companies still refuse to support it. Learn more

Since teachers are often classified as a government job, then the government should be paying an amount for the degree the teacher has obtained ON TOP of their salary. Learn more
It should be illegal for teachers to have to pay for ANYTHING related to their classroom. Learn more
Personally, I don’t think I learned any more in college math, English, history, and science than I did in high school. To me, this seems like a scam to get students pay extra for courses that are completely unnecessary. These core courses should be covered in high school and could save students a lot of time, hassle, and money. Learn more
In a worst case scenario, if a teacher needed something a supply closet doesn't have, they should be able to submit an expense report justifying the purchase and they should be able to get reimbursed like any other company would for their employees. Learn more
Similar to traveling nurses (and what I also think community policing needs) I think we need traveling teachers as well. This would need to be a well paid program to promote educators who are proven highly effective and successful in their field. Learn more
I DO feel that it would be reasonable for the government to wipe out debt ONLY for people who have degrees that they are unable to use. In exchange, colleges and universities would need to start disclosing how difficult it is to get a job in certain fields so people don't waste their money. Certain degrees should in fact be free if they are useless in the corporate world. Learn more
The last I checked, starting teacher pay was $36k, but I believe it is about $40k now if I’m not mistaken. We need to keep bumping that amount up each year to keep up with inflation. As this amount goes up, any educator making under $80k should be bumped up by the same amount. Learn more
I would like to see things like finance, credit cards, investments, building wealth, the stock market, caring for pets, buying a home, a car, substance abuse, addiction, debt, exercise, nutrition, dieting, scheduling, time management, study skills, etc. There are so many important life skills that aren’t taught in school and really should be. Learn more
Having the government wipe out debt of certain people isn't fair and is quite frankly a waste when it isn't the government demanding that you have a degree. Which brings me to my next point that anyone working for state, local, or federal government should be the first to start receiving student loan payments. This would include teachers, police, firefighters, social workers, etc. Learn more
This is how I think the term limits should work: President – This should stay as is. A maximum of two 4-year terms. Senate – This should be reduced to two 5-year terms. House – This should be five 2-year terms. Learn more
I think the 9th justice should be chosen by the people and serve at least a 10 year term. The court should be balanced and should NEVER lean either way. Learn more
The MAX anyone should be in any office is 10 years. Learn more
A good compromise would be that a business could eliminate their tax liability IF they pay all their employees a livable wage and provide benefits that people could actually use without exorbitant costs associated with it. To further help businesses, finding ways to get health insurance premiums down with little to no out of pocket costs to employees - would be another act that congress could be doing. Learn more
F I had full control to do anything I want with the situation, I would create a rural town where people could choose to start over. There would be a distribution center that would provide employment for people to get their life back on track. There would be affordable housing and they would pay rent based on their income. They would of course have access to whatever necessities most people would typically have access to. Learn more
The ONLY way to fix this problem is to offer a safe way for people here illegally to come forward. If this process isn’t safe and guaranteed safe, they won’t come forward. Once they do come forward, they need to get documented and start following the process. Learn more
As for the filibuster, I do support abolishing it. Learn more

The minimum wage shouldn’t need to go up significantly, employers need to pay above it. The only exceptions would be small businesses like restaurants or jobs that high school/college kids would take to obtain experience. Even then, you should still try to pay over the minimum if you can. Learn more
If an employer can’t put a childcare center onsite, perhaps they should be helping pay for childcare. Learn more
