Elections

Sixteen years ago I swore an oath to defend American democracy against all enemies “foreign and domestic” – I intend to keep that oath.

In 2020, the Republican Party lost the Presidential election and refused to accept the results. Doug LaMalfa and 133 other Republicans voted against certifying the results. Now the GOP is trying to rewrite state laws to ensure that their next attempt to steal an election is successful. This is unacceptable. Our democracy depends upon politicians respecting the results of free and fair elections.

The response of the Democratic Party and the Biden Administration to this attack on our democracy has been pitiful. Working on an infrastructure bill means nothing if democracy dies. Democrats need to fight to defend our right to vote. Too many incumbent Democrats are too comfortable, too complacent, or too old to fight for democracy.  I am not a do-nothing Democrat.  I have fought for democracy in Iraq and I intend to fight for democracy in Congress.

Policy Proposals:

  1. A new VRA: Pass a stronger Voting Rights Act fit for the challenges of 2022. Ensure that elected politicians never have the power to change the results of elections outside of a court challenge.
  2. Voter ID: Implement a federal voting I.D. program, to be run out of every U.S. Post Office, for free, six days per week. Photo identification for voting makes sense; but photo I.D.’s need to be free, convenient, and quick.
  3. Anti-Gerrymandering: Both parties engage in gerrymandering. Politicians use technology to pick their voters, rather than letting voters pick their politicians. We need to ban this practice at the federal level.
