I am a passionate believer in the First Amendment

I am a passionate believer in the First Amendment. Freedom of speech is a pillar of democracy. It is not the responsibility of government to pressure corporations like Facebook and Twitter to restrict the speech of those whose views they do not approve. If speech is inflammatory, slanderous or does harm to others, there are laws that address those situations. The first step on the road to totalitarianism is placing limits on freedom of speech.

Voted for Trump in 2020, but thinks his behavior "atrocious"

Regarding Trump, Stern understands that the former president remains a major force in the Republican Party but hopes to use conservative values as his "North Star." Though he believed in the policies of the Trump administration, Stern said, he found the man's behavior "atrocious."

"When people think 'conservative,' they think Jan. 6. They don't think what I'm talking about," Stern said. The U.S. "is really broken. The Republican Party is destroyed right now. And I am here to unify it."

Protecting US is life's passion, central purpose of career

In 2011, Stern gained international notoriety when he brought to light the illegal efforts of his then-employer, HSBC Bank, to launder money and assist nations involved in supporting terrorism and drug trafficking. Stern's work resulted in the bank being fined a record of almost two billion dollars.

"Protecting and defending the interests of the United States of America is my life's passion and the central purpose of my career," Stern said. "The people of Pennsylvania deserve a leader who will fight for them against the most powerful special interests, the most entrenched politicians, and a corrupt system whose leaders have forgotten that they answer to the people," Stern said. "There's never been a time when bold, unafraid new leadership has been more badly needed."
