TRANSPARENCY
Transparency is not a slogan. It is a standard.
I am running for the United States Senate as an Independent because I believe public service should answer to the people—not to private profit.
That is why I am voluntarily sharing a plain-language snapshot of my personal income sources. Voters deserve to know whether their elected officials have financial incentives that could conflict with the public interest.
I also support legislation that bans Members of Congress from buying, selling, or trading individual stocks. Lawmakers should not be able to profit from access, insider information, or special treatment. In the Senate, I will push for a real ban with strict enforcement—because trust in government has to be earned.
