Oh boy, there are a lot! 😂 Here are 2:
- Pragmatic immigration reform is imperative. Politicians have been talking about it for as long as I’ve been alive and nothing has gotten done.
-We also need to make sure the US isn’t falling behind wrt technology, and create policies that foster innovation/growth.

What’s one policy that you’d like to pass if elected?

Border: I think the recent bill that Sen. Sinema negotiated was better than any proposed reform in years & it’s unfortunate that it didn’t pass due to partisanship.
I support:
-reasserting control of the border to protect local communities from violence and fentanyl
-ending catch & release
-asylum system reform

On Ukraine, the Russian invasion was wrong. That said, we’ve spent billions of taxpayer dollars on another war that has no end in sight. I think it’s time for real efforts to find a diplomatic solution rather than continuing to send money that could be put to use helping Americans.

What would you do about the US southern border?

Opinion on US funding for Ukraine?

1 Our current system is fueled by partisanship and divisiveness, corporate interests, and it only rewards those who toe the party line, none of which serve actual citizens. Most politicians are just trying to get the upper hand, my goal is to be straightforward and pragmatic, bridging the gap to real solutions for all.

Share our campaign and please donate if you can! We’re currently on a sprint to raise $100k to help us finish our petition signature collection efforts to qualify for the ballot. In AZ, INDs are required to collect 3-4x the number of signatures as the major party candidates, so every donation goes a long way!

If we do not live in AZ, what's the best way to support your campaign?

I believe our country is at a critical juncture and everyday citizens are getting left behind as a result of a dysfunctional government wrought with infighting and division. More than any individual policy, I care about being a voice for change and reform to make the government work by and for the people again.

Absolutely! If I could propose a bill tomorrow, it would focus on fostering innovation that would help make the US a leader in blockchain technology, and establish clear regulatory frameworks so companies and consumers aren’t left in the dark. The US should be a hotspot for developers & investors.

Do you have any plans to help pass pro crypto bills? If you could propose a crypto bill tomorrow what would that look like? What would you tackle first?

How did you learn about Farcaster and Frames?

Our tax system is a complete mess and needs simplification. I support working towards a balanced approach to taxation on all levels, with a particular focus on removing often abused tax breaks and loopholes for corporations, ultra-wealthy individuals and organizations that are not contributing or contribute too little.

Can you reframe the debate around taxes? What percent of gdp should we collect?

I believe the purpose of NATO is to be a deterrent to global conflict and the US is stronger because of it, but it shouldn’t be used to walk us closer to the brink of large-scale war through further expansion. I also believe in exhausting all diplomatic solutions before a single American is put in harm’s way.

How do you feel about NATO expansion? Would you send my sons to fight for Finland?

Visas: I want to see a system that more easily opens the door to the best and brightest from all over the world to come the US legally and contribute to our economy and society.

What is your opinion on US immigration policy? Do you think strict visa restrictions should be relaxed?
