Voter Guide Statement

This campaign is going to place the following statement in the Voter Guide that is mailed by the government to the mailbox of every registered voter in this district. It will cost us $17,500 — because Democracy. We need help paying that crazy sum.

I’m running for Congress because the incumbent consistently supports atrocities abroad, from cluster munitions in Ukraine to the bombardment of Gaza. In addition, he has voted for the construction of massive new fossil fuel projects, like the Mountain Valley Pipeline, despite the science telling us that our planet cannot afford any new drilling. He doesn’t represent the values or interests of the people living in this district. Rather, his voting is consistent with the agenda of his donors – he has received at least $200,000 in campaign donations from fossil fuels and weapons manufacturers, as well as donations from Wall Street, Big Ag, Big Pharma, and the insurance industry. He will never fight for true reform; he will only give us small, symbolic wins and smiling photos on social media. Congress has a 17% approval rating, and it is because of representatives like the incumbent.

We can afford universal housing, healthcare, higher education, paid family leave, and more. But our government will not prioritize these things until we eliminate the influence of corporate money. I am a proud member of a political party that refuses corporate donations and I also refuse individual donations above $500. I don’t have all the answers, but I’m not bought, so I’ll make an honest attempt at finding them.

The system isn’t working. We can’t give the incumbent another term to continue this failure. Join me in mounting a revolution of peace and integrity.
