Why they say they're running
His campaign website says he is running because he will not give up on America, and that both parties are captured by money and special interests while everyday costs have become unaffordable for ordinary people.6 It says his campaign rests on getting money out of politics and that only an independent member of Congress can lead reform in a divided House.6,

Why this matters: These are positions the candidate has stated publicly — on their campaign website or in public statements — summarized in plain words with a link to where they said it. Issues they haven't spoken about publicly are left out.
Drafted by AI from the public sources cited. Each sentence links to its source.
Each issue has its own range of views. A position is marked on that range only when the candidate's own statement clearly matches one option; there is no overall left–right score.
Elections and Government Reform
His campaign website's platform calls for no stock trading as part of transparency and accountability in government.9
His campaign website says partisan gerrymandering should be banned so that voters choose their representatives.9
Immigration
His campaign website's platform, under a heading calling for ICE out, says resources should be redirected to professional law enforcement and that every person on American soil is entitled to due process.9
Foreign Policy and Defense
His campaign website says the Constitution gives Congress the responsibility to declare war, that this responsibility has too often been ignored, and that war should be a last resort; it says he opposed the Iraq War because the constitutional standard for sending Americans into combat had not been met.6,
- Let the president order military action without needing Congress's approval
- Let the president act first, but enforce the 60-day limit and end any action Congress doesn't approve

His campaign website calls for rebuilding U.S. influence abroad through cultural diplomacy, accountability in foreign aid and multilateral leadership.9
Social Security and Medicare
His campaign website says he would raise the cap on Social Security contributions so the wealthy pay their fair share.9

His campaign website says every American deserves access to affordable health care that is not rationed by wealth, and calls for breaking what it calls the prescription drug monopoly.9

§4Money
Why this matters: Campaigns report where their money comes from and how much they have left. Outside groups that spend on their own, without coordinating with the campaign, report that too.
