What reforms to the US immigration system do you support? Why? ¿Qué reformas al sistema de inmigración de Estados Unidos apoya usted? ¿Por qué?

Candidate position

I support comprehensive immigration reform with modern border technology that treats people with dignity. Further, we need more immigration judges to reduce backlogs, and a pathway to earned citizenship for long term, law abiding undocumented immigrants. We should also protect Dreamers. The Government should strive to keep families together, expand legal pathways for workers, and focus enforcement on violent criminals, not hardworking families who contribute to our economy. America is strongest when we uphold both the rule of law and our values.

Yes. Climate change has driven up the cost of INSURANCE from natural disasters to HEALTHCARE expenses, not to mention threatening our military readiness. In sum, Every dollar we invest in clean energy, resilient infrastructure, and disaster preparedness saves taxpayers money over time.

“Freedom of speech” is included in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Exactly what does ”Freedom of Speech” mean to you? La libertad de expresión está incluida en la Primera Enmienda de la Constitución de los Estados Unidos. ¿Qué significa exactamente para usted la “libertad de expresión”?

Candidate position

Freedom of speech is one of our most fundamental constitutional rights. It is in the First Amendment and protects our ability to criticize the government, advocate for change, worship freely, organize peacefully, and express unpopular opinions without government censorship. It belongs to everyone, not just those who have power. However, there are time, place and manner restrictions of free speech. You can not incite violence or defame a person’s character.

The President has Executive power to oversee Federal agencies. The President manages the Executive Branch and supervises federal agencies. Congress manages the Legislative Branch and has the constitutional authority to create agencies, appropriate funding, conduct oversight, and investigate whether agencies are faithfully executing the LAW and controls the spending (purse). Checks and balances require both branches to fulfill their constitutional responsibilities so that no one branch becomes too powerful.

If documentary proof of US citizenship becomes necessary in order to register to vote, how would you help those citizens, especially women, who no longer have or don’t have easy and affordable access to documents to prove citizenship, such as certified birth and marriage certificates? Si se requiere prueba documental de ciudadanía estadounidense para registrarse para votar, ¿cómo ayudaría a esos ciudadanos, especialmente a las mujeres, que ya no tienen o no tienen acceso fácil y asequible a documentos que prueben su ciudadanía, como certificados de nacimiento o matrimonio certificados?

Candidate position

Voting is a fundamental constitutional right, and no eligible citizen should lose that right because of paperwork or cost. I would support making citizenship documents free or low-cost; expand mobile and online document services; waive fees for low-income Americans, Seniors, Veterans, and Disaster victims. We could also fund Legal assistance to help people obtain replacement records. In particular, Women whose names changed after marriage or divorce should have a simple process to verify their identity without unnecessary burdens. Election Laws should protect election integrity while ensuring every eligible citizen can vote. I would also sign onto the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.

What role do you believe the federal government should play in education at the pre-school level, K-12 level and higher education? ¿Qué papel cree que debería desempeñar el gobierno federal en la educación a nivel preescolar, educación K-12 (primaria y secundaria) y educación superior?

Candidate position

The Federal Government should be a strong partner in ensuring every child has an equal opportunity to succeed, regardless of their ZIP code. Preschool: Expand access to affordable, high-quality early childhood education because early learning produces lifelong educational and economic benefits. K-12: Support public schools through equitable funding, protect students’ civil rights, invest in teacher recruitment and retention, expand career and technical education, and ensure every student has access to technology, school meals, mental health services, and safe learning environments. Higher Education: Make College, Trade, Workforce Training, Apprenticeships, and Community College more affordable by increasing Pell Grants, reducing Student Debt burdens, and investing in research, innovation, and workforce development. Education is an investment in America’s economic competitiveness and democratic future.
