Candidate Statement
I won't accept so much as a free meal from a corporate lobbyist.
I believe in a free-market system, regulated to protect the average citizen from corporate overreach and abuse. It is no secret that today in America the top .1% own as much as the bottom 90%. To make matters worse, 99% of new income goes to the .1%. People rightfully feel that the economy is rigged, jobs don't pay what they used to and unionizing efforts are in decline. It's time for the billionaires to pay their fair share.
We have the power to change all of this. Will you join me in taking on the most powerful people in the world in an effort to reduce their influence on Washington? I don't believe there is any other way forward. We must recalibrate our economy, so the pie begins to grow for everyone. Unity is our way forward. America is the greatest nation on Earth.
I'm asking you to join me in the fight to make our democracy serve everyone equally.
