I am a life-long Hudson County resident and lawyer whose professional life has focused on preventing criminals and terrorist organizations from laundering funds through our financial system. This is an unprecedented grassroots campaign to give working class Americans in New Jersey's 8th Congressional District a voice in our political destiny by: shining a light on the rising cost of housing, fixing the dysfunctional healthcare system, and rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure. Americans are disgusted with the political gamesmanship in Washington, and I am the only Democrat is running to break the gridlock and show that WE DESERVE BETTER!
- Alleviating the rising cost of healthcare and housing on working class Americans should be the primary concern of our Congressional representative.
- The United States should not be exporting billions of taxpayer dollars to fund regime change across the globe, when our infrastructure at home is in desperate need of repair.
- The War on Drugs is a failed policy that has incarcerated a generation of black and Hispanic men for mostly non-violent offenses.
Immigration, Criminal Justice Reform, Infrastructure, Healthcare, National Defense, the Economy
Our Congressman should be responsive to the needs and concerns of the working class Americans, not wealthy donors and Political Action Committees.
I hope to leave a district where working class American can thrive, knowing that if they work a full-time job they won't have to worry about putting food on the table or going bankrupt because they had the misfortune of coming down with an illness.
Americans are looking for change, and the people who got us into these problems will not lead us out. Standing with the working class is more important than a lengthy resume in government.
America's greatest challenge will be to ensure that the middle class is healthy and thrives, and that we do not become an oligarchy where a few wealthy families and their hand-picked representatives in government hoard the nation's wealth an opportunities.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
