Why?

We can be putting money into health care, into education, into better jobs and a living wage where Americans don't have to spend and live off a credit card.

Where here in my own district where we have fracking and we have A.I.,

installations or AI sites going up, sucking our water and our power.

So when I look at these policies and how they're being employed and why, I'm not someone that thinks in this hyperbole of abolish ICE or in this bombastic sense.

We need reform.

We absolutely do need reform.

I don't believe that our system is broken.

I believe that the people running the system and the people that have set the rules that we all have to abide by over the last decade plus don't have our interests in mind.

So I would look at domestic policy from a standpoint of the programs that we fund.

Looking at the National Defense Authorization Act, looking at the National Defense Strategy, why are we funding the National Defense Strategy to the Department of Defense with a $1.7 trillion budget?

budget next year.

After this year, we just gave them $981 billion.

That's not what the American people signed up for.

That's not what the American people want.

We do not want to be entrenched in endless war or war in our own hemisphere or making enemies of our closest partners between Canada and Mexico where we can take advantage of the prosperity of what we have in this nation and

not selling it to foreign lobbyists.

I think that our domestic policy has been sold to foreign interest.

I want to sever that.

As a candidate, I will take no money from political action committees to include, yes, AIPAC.
