💯One of the main reasons I’m running as an independent is because our politics have become so divisive and lack the appropriate nuance to look at a situation and consider solutions that don’t exactly conform to a Party’s platform or what the pundit/donor class says is acceptable. It’s why nothing gets done.

My husband (@6209) has been on Warpcast for a while and introduced me to it about a month ago!

Tax policy & budget discussions are inherently too nuanced and complex to be boiled down to a “too much/too little” discussion imo. Some people are over-taxed & some are under-taxed, spending is too much in some areas & too little in others, thus the need for reform (and politicians who aren’t beholden to donors)

I’m actually very pro-business and pro-wealth! That’s the American dream. I just think there are way too many carveouts & loopholes that have made their way into our system that are being exploited by wealthy individuals/corporations. Simplify the tax code so no one is unfairly punished or given unfair advantage.

I’d love to hear your thoughts. With character limits, it’s hard to fully convey such a complex policy position, so to be clear, I do support Ukraine and am not opposed to further funding if it will help bring an end to the conflict, I just think we should be actively pursuing/prioritizing diplomatic solutions.

I haven’t yet. I’m fully focused on qualifying for the ballot at the moment, but if I could put together a 3-person dream team it would include @barmstrong, @erikvoorhees, & @vitalik.eth!

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. https://warpcast.com/sarahwharton/0x860ecd0b

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.

I’m constrained by character limits here, but through my experience as a policy advisor at the AZ Legislature, that starts with getting feedback and input from industry leaders and stakeholders. My main goal is to support this important industry by providing the regulatory clarity and more reasons to build in the US.

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.

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.

I think people are looking for leaders who don’t pass the buck or blame the other party. I have experience brokering stakeholder negotiations & shepherding complex legislation through compromise. Bridging the gaps with a levelheaded approach is my specialty!

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!

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.
