On Civil Rights:
Launched online petition to remove Confederate statue
[On Black Lives Matters protests]: "The Confederate soldier statue located in front of the old courthouse/government building is a symbol of racism and inequality," says an online petition. "It should be destroyed." The petition says the statue is "at
the site of the old tree that was used to hang black people in the past." It's the idea of Senate candidate Steven Cox. "These people are amazing," Cox wrote online about the protest. "There's only one thing wrong. That [expletive] statue."

On Energy & Oil:
We need to find a system better than fossil fuels
What we have right now is a system where the dollar is supported by fossil fuels. That is why there is such a push-back when it comes to switching over to clean energy, being green, and using renewable resources. Fossil fuels are what maintain and give
the United States Dollar its value. We have to find a better system to invest in, because this may be the point where we can't rely on that. If we are late to the party, then there will be another nation that rises to that occasion.

On Foreign Policy:
America is ignoring our role as stewards who save the world
America is the greatest nation in the world. When you think about that, with the changes that need to happen in the world, as an American, you think we should be at the forefront of that. We should be leading the way. We should be the ones "riding off
into the sunset" saving the world. Traditionally, that is what we have done. You go back to WWII. Had we not intervened with that, there would probably be a very different kind of a world today. We are ignoring our role as stewards and heroes.

On Health Care:
Medicare-for-All would reduce healthcare costs
In a Medicare for All system, you get rid of the "for profit" mentality. Medicare for All eliminates a lot of the costs.From a provider's standpoint, when you go to the doctor, you have to give them your insurance card, and then they have to figure
out if that's valid, then they have to [determine] with the insurance company what treatment is going to be covered. Under Medicare for All, it would streamline doctor visits and hospital visits because you would all be working on the same system.

On Government Reform:
Supports any laws that ensure elections can't be bought
Campaign Finance & Election Reform: I'm for as much legislation that makes sure that elections can't be bought and sold, and reforming what current legislation allows.
An individual can only contribute $2,800 per election. But if you are a Political Action Committee (PAC), you can contribute up to $5,000. If you are a Super PAC, the number is even more schemed.

On Health Care:
Medicare for All absolutely needs to be done
Medicare for All is something that absolutely needs to be done. I have been involved with the insurance industry for a while now, and I do know that the cost for someone's health insurance isn't just the cost of mitigating the risk of them getting
injured or sick. In a Medicare for All system, a single-payer system, you get rid of the "for profit" mentality. You then focus on what's best for the people.

On Principles & Values:
Socially progressive, fiscally conservative
I consider myself socially progressive and fiscally conservative. I am mainly a Democrat because I believe in the idea that America belongs to the people that are creating it, not to the people who have the most money.
When I say I am fiscally conservative, it means that I believe in growth, but I believe in sustainable growth. Something that we can continually do and fuel, so we can continually grow and succeed as a society.
