Short Answer:

What do you envision is the role of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in regulating business and protecting the environment?
Nixon began the EPA to ensure that the businesses were being mindful to the environment. It does not matter if you are a oil change business or a fuel creating business, the environment belongs to all people and creatures of the planet. The agency has to ensure that cheap tricks to turn a profit are not done. The agency must also be held to a standard to not allow tricks to occur due to intentional oversight by agents and leaders.

How would you describe the status of civil rights in the US today?
The laws are on the books. Writing more laws without a means of enforcement does is not a solution. Americans are at a point were we are allowing division. It is too easy to say that something or someone is treating a person unfair. The reality, we do not communicate with each other well. It is easy to judge one another. Hate is an evil and we must overcome that evil.

What will you do to expand access to affordable, accessible housing for low-income people in the United States?
I do not like federal housing projects. The management of these developments have failed in every community which built. Affordable housing can exist. This should be a state issue first. The housing however, cannot be state of art buildings. We have to build simple housing that allows a family to safely live until they can build equity and move on to new housing that they can afford. Government housing should not be a final solution.

Would you like to clarify any of your ranked choice answers?
I am a pro life person. However, I do not feel it is the federal government’s job to tell the states they must provide a service in this field. I wish abortion could be a subject of the past. I know it will not be. I do support limits to the first trimester, unless true harm can occur to the mother and/or child. I also feel that the choice is not mine as an outsider, this is a decision that must be made among the advice of the mother, family, physician and the Lord. No politician needs to be involved.

Minimum wage is a states’ issue.

Government funded medications should be sold to the people at a cost of 10%.

All people should have a protection to not have to face discriminations due to their natural being and something out of their true control. I do support businesses that decide someone may not be a fit in their operation and choose to go a different way.

The U.S. needs to begin pulling back on our role as the world’s police and focus on the needs in the United States.

In recent years, there has been an effort to roll back voting rights in this country. We must pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.

Expand rental assistance and build new affordable housing.

Would you like to clarify any of your ranked choice answers?
As it pertains to the war in Ukraine, I believe that we must provide Ukraine with economic and diplomatic assistance to ensure they maintain their sovereignty. However, I do not support sending American troops into Ukraine.

Short Answer:

What do you envision is the role of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in regulating business and protecting the environment?
become more proactive in enforcing existing laws.

How would you describe the status of civil rights in the US today?
50 years backwards. It seems that all the progress that has been made in the last 50 years has vanished to the current war on women rights, LGTBQ and transgender.

What will you do to expand access to affordable, accessible housing for low-income people in the United States?
Increase minimum wage to $15 and create better paying jobs so that people can afford better living conditions. Even households earning $100K/year are struggling with the current inflation. We must regulate big oil companies that are using their power to manipulate prices and stop production as a weapon to starve American families in order to control power in Washington through Senator Kennedy who is only concern about receiving millions in political contributions while millions of Louisiana citizens are going broke.

Would you like to clarify any of your ranked choice answers?
No. My answers are self evident.

To continue regulating companies so that they are cognitive of any potential water or air pollution that has a negative effect on the health & wellbeing of the communities in their general vicinity.

How would you describe the status of civil rights in the US today?
Tenuous at times when community policing goes awry, but it’s has improved by leaps and bounds since 1964. Here lately one party has made consistent efforts to make it harder for some minority voting blocks via gerrymandering.

What will you do to expand access to affordable, accessible housing for low-income people in the United States?
Implement policies that incentivize Real Estate Developer to take on projects to produce affordable housing for low income earners as well as raising the minimum wage to a livable wage, and address the issues concerning the homeless population.

We can continue to help the Ukrainian people with weapons and training to use them to defend their country!

Short Answer:

What do you envision is the role of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in regulating business and protecting the environment?
The EPA was created to enforce laws designed to protect the environment and human health. The EPA should ensure that we have clean air, water, and land. We know most American environmental protection is done by state and local governments. EPA sets policy, subsidizes state and local programs, oversees states, and conducts scientific research. The EPA is shrinking at a rapid pace when we actually need to increase it’s capacity to govern the national environment. I envision expansion and sustainability to ensure the EPA can enforce laws to protect us. We must work toward efficiency, equity and cost-effective ways to administer environmental protections. We must have a competent, well resourced federal presence, working alongside active, competent and empowered state and local partners. We know that the economy has continued to grow. As we utilize technology to push for cleaner air and water we know the benefits far out way cost. We need to do more, and can without harming the economy.

How would you describe the status of civil rights in the US today?
Today in the US our civil rights are in peril. Over the course of history we have made steady progress in the pursuit of obtaining civil rights, but even with this progress systemic racism and injustice still persist. In this country presently we have elected officials promoting policies of punishment, fear, and division and creating a culture that continues to target communities of color for political advantage. In order for our nation to truly move toward freedom, we must obtain equal protection under the law. The struggle for civil rights and equal opportunity are one in the same and have always been a reflection of one another. Through out the history of this nation, which was built on the premise of exclusion, we continue to deny people access to education, employment, and economic opportunities. We need to focus on expanding access to safe schools, fair working environments, and inclusive communities not reverse civil rights protections and progress made thus far.

What will you do to expand access to affordable, accessible housing for low-income people in the United States?
My platform for housing includes affordable housing programs that bring the cost of housing relative to household income, equitable policies, and programs that promote homeownership. I support increased funding incentives for developers to increase affordable rental housing in rural communities. I will increase federal protections against racism and discrimination for tenants. I support establishing a “land bank” to develop abandoned or foreclosed properties, and grant ownership to eligible participants. I will sponsor legislation that ensures formerly incarcerated people are able to successfully transition into safe, affordable housing in a supportive environment. We must expand beyond emergency and transitional housing and focus on policy changes that address increased rent costs while wages are stagnant. The Federal definition of homelessness is a huge barrier to resources and unjustly targets formerly incarcerated and marginalized people and must be addressed.

Would you like to clarify any of your ranked choice answers?
No
