China
It is clear to me that conducting relations with China is in the interest of the United States. These would include commercial, cultural, and other relations. I support a close, friendly relationship with China. However, I do have expectations of China. These concern cooperation in East Asia, including Taiwan.
Civil Rights
I demand the protection of individuals engaging in non-violent civil rights demonstrations. The use of excessive force by law enforcement agencies against such individuals is unacceptable to me.
Crime
I support initiatives which will have an effect on crime reductions. Local agencies are best equipped to oversee such initiatives. Those involve community and faith-based organizations helping individuals to be law-abiding. I have a strong commitment to ensuring the constitutional right to counsel.
Defense
I know what defense means to the future. I am for advanced defense agencies. There are both costs and benefits to analyze. Details matter to me.
Government Reform
It is my desire that legislative processes be honest and open. Honesty means full and complete debates. Openness means public disclosure. I will work with others on a bipartisan basis.
Immigration
Immigration reform is a priority for me. It is based on securing the border areas, while treating others properly, regardless of any status.
Labor
I encourage international trade, knowing that it does create challenges but also opportunities for laborers and industries. I consider trade that crosses the northern and southwest borders an asset.
Peace
I recognize the role of the United States in the effort to bring an end to wars. I know how essential United States leadership can be in this effort. I commend efforts to assist parties in finding a permanent peace. I condemn war crimes and genocide.
Tax Reform
I have no interest in increasing taxes.
Values
I affirm shared values that transcend race, religion, gender, age, disability, region, income, and education.
