The Issues

The industrial age is becoming the digital age. Most of us are already living in it — we work through screens, bank on our phones, get our news from algorithms. But the infrastructure hasn’t pivoted. Healthcare, housing, the job market, the safety net — they’re all still wired for an economy that doesn’t exist anymore.

Just Rearrange the Pieces

The good news is we don’t need to rebuild from the ground up. The pieces are already here — hospitals, universities, farmland, cooperatives, veterans who know how to build things, communities that know how to organize. What’s missing is the arrangement. Right now, the controls are in someone else’s hands: insurance companies decide your healthcare, Wall Street decides your housing costs, algorithms decide what jobs you see.

Every issue on this page is connected to that same problem. And every solution points the same direction: put the controls back where they belong — in our hands, in our communities, accountable to us.

Healthcare

Insurance isn’t healthcare. Medicare is just the ACA in different clothing. The VA is the only system that actually delivers care. I want to expand what works — starting with mobile clinics in every corner of FL-3.

Economy

Each recession is different from the one before in the details. What stays the same is that each one takes your time, your money, your momentum, your independence, and your security. Here’s what a real economic foundation should look like.

Veterans

We don’t leave our buddies behind on the battlefield. We shouldn’t leave them behind when they come home. Every veteran deserves VA care — regardless of discharge status.

Housing

You can’t afford the house that survives the storm. You can’t afford to insure the one that doesn’t. A co-op factory in FL-3 changes that equation — hurricane-rated homes, built here, owned by us.

Food & Agriculture

FL-3 has 1.4 million acres of working land and no processing facility. We ship cattle out and buy beef back at retail. A local co-op changes that equation — premium prices out, affordable prices in.

Privacy & Civil Liberties

Every administration has turned the surveillance ratchet one more click — red and blue alike. Your data belongs to you, not the platform and not the government. It’s time to turn it back.

Jobs & National Service

AI is about to hollow out entry-level jobs. The next recession will need a jobs program like what FDR created — not make-work, but real service that builds skills, builds communities, and builds the district. Mobile health teams, housing crews, local tech support — work that matters.

Here’s what’s different about how I think about this. Some of these issues require Washington — legislation, votes, the whole machine. But others? We can start building right here, right now. An activist congressman brings the federal dollars and cuts the red tape. You do what you already know how to do. We get the process going together — and eventually, you won’t need me for it at all.
