From insurance reform, worker conditions, holding for-profits accountable, food system, retain and support people's bodily autonomy, PPO vs IPO, out of network coverage, minimum care during PC visits allowed by insurance and medical companies, pre-authorizations, health education, fitness, inspiring agency over ones health and creating a system that supports that, mental health is bodily health, quality of care and materials etc

We are nature and nature is us. We have to start acting like it.

Fully fund education. Bring back home economics, life skills, arts, physical education, civics education, taxes, how to open a small business etc; listen to teachers, parents, and students wants and needs

I believe if a system is set up for the individual to learn how to best take care of themselves then they will turn into a contributing part of society. I see many holes in the "pull yourself up by the boot straps" and "tell them what they want and need" approaches. I'm here to bridge the two approaches.

I look at public safety from a warriors perspective. First, I think about what makes me and my village vulnerable to grifters and predators. Then, I think about what resources myself and my village has to self defend and sustain. Finally, I think about what is extra that can be used for relationship building and trade. I believe our communities have lost sight of the goal and need to go back to basics, like education and resources management. I see wasted tax payer money being thrown at the end result of systemic neglect and abuse. We have to take a look at ourselves and be brutally honest about what we want our own lives to look like and start being responsible citizens instead of passive participants in our own lives. For example, I think the biggest threat is mental health, the lack of access to good care, the stigma, health insurance hurdles, lack of awareness and its exploitation. It has led to the loneliness/isolation epidemic. Loneliness and isolation creates an incredibly vulnerable population. It leads to people falling for international cyber crimes taking peoples money, international companies pressuring local governments to skirt procurement law because the American workers lack education and confidence to say 'no', (or worse, they blindly trust the master who feeds them) and it leaves public officials becoming bribable because they lack identity. Public safety starts with ideology. I'm ready to have some tough talks with this district about what they value and then pledge to make it happen.
