I know you’re tired of career politicians selling their influence – your voice to line their wallet.
So am I, and I am going to do something about it.
This isn’t about the fight between Republican and Democrat anymore. This is our chance to take America away from out of touch relics of our Government’s past and launch us into a new era of Government that gets back to how we are supposed to operate.
Career politicians spend decades selling your voice for profit. They get told how to vote for incentives or other benefits. They get paid to ignore you and pass junk legislation that affects you without your input.
That is not okay, and I want to change that.
I am one candidate among many running for office in our House of Representatives. What I want to see are more young and motivated people who want to change our Government from the inside. I want to see more people aware of what is happening and determined to stop it.
It’s not a secret that there are agencies in the Executive Branch of the Federal Government that are way out of control. These agencies have been running scorched Earth harassment campaigns against Americans since their inception.
Federal Law Enforcement operates off of a leash, with no accountability and with administrative protection to do whatever they want to ensure compliance with guidelines they write themselves.
That job belongs to Congress, and I want to lead the charge to make sure we keep that job in Congress. These agencies either need to be regulated, or they should be disbanded. American rights are non-negotiable. There are no exceptions to the Constitution.
DOGE was a failure. It did not do what was promised. In fact, I don’t think it did anything at all. I view it as a performative stunt.
It did however instill the American desire to cut out wasteful spending and oversee agencies to ensure that their budgets are justified. That mission is essential, and I believe that it should be taken seriously with a proper, simple structure.
American taxpayer money is a valuable and finite resource, and it should be protected. We shouldn’t be going into debt for budgets that don’t actually exist.
We live on the coast. We’re going to see storms that inland states do not experience. It is unacceptable for insurance companies to raise insurance rates ahead of storms to wring the wallets of new policy holders.
Home insurance premiums should be linear. They shouldn’t move due to natural circumstances. Home insurance has more constant variables than auto insurance does. Why should home insurance rates be more volatile?
I plan to make it difficult or impossible for insurance companies to exploit natural disasters for profit. I also plan to make it impossible for insurance companies to drop “rare or unusual” coverage due to imminent damage related to storms which cause floods or other damage.
First responders are the backbone of our community. Without their knowledgeable presence and lifesaving care, our community would be at the mercy of crisis beyond our comprehension. Some of these departments rely on volunteers who are not paid, and are still willing to risk their lives to save people in their time of need.
I want to reward these brave men and women when tax time rolls around. I propose a $1500 Refundable Tax credit for all Volunteer First Responders who respond to 30% or more of their department’s call volume every year.
Refundable Tax Credits are funds that are distributed in addition to any other income tax returns, or in absence of a tax return altogether. Whether or not you owe or will receive an income tax return, I want to make it where the State of North Carolina will send you $1500 simply for being a volunteer with a Fire Department or an EMS agency.
Instead, integrated pest management has developed, using techniques such as targeted treatment of pest outbreaks, and managing crop environment away from conditions favouring pests. Branches infested with scale are often cut and left on the ground, which promotes scale parasites to not only attack the scale on the fallen branches but in the plant as well.
