Let’s unfu*k Congress together.
People over Party
TOP PRIORITY = AFFORDABILITY. My plan:
LIVING WAGES to $30 by 2030
HEALTHCARE as a Human Right
TAXING ultra-rich companies and billionaires
PUNISHING Corporate & Wall Street greed
Why me?
We need working class folks in Congress to fight for what is moral and ethical, not what’s best for donors and lobbyists.
I’m a father of 4 with (2) full-time jobs. I’ll prioritize people over profits and party.
US Marine Infantry Squad Leader (2003-2012) and life-long public servant.
Integrity, Honesty, Humility
Pledge NOT to accept Corporate or PAC donations.

Justin E. Dues
A WORKING CLASS FIGHTER
DEM Candidate for
US Senate | NC
NO PAC or DARK MONEY - small dollar only grassroots campaign
Every problem has a solution. We The People can & must do better.
We The People, are falling behind.
Shouldn’t we aim to thrive instead of just survive?
Wealth Inequality
Gini-coefficient is a statistical comparison of wealth inequality.
India = 25.5 | Canada = 29.9
Russia = 35.1 | China = 35.7
Haiti = 41.1 | USA = 41.8* | Mexico = 43.5
China and Russia have more equality than the USA. The lower the number the better.
Healthcare Crisis.
Life Expectancy across the globe, in years.
Hong Kong = 85.7 years | Japan = 85 years
Canada = 82.8 years | USA = 79.6 years
Nations without universal healthcare.
United States: The only high-income country w/o universal health coverage.
Pakistan, Cambodia, Chad Nigeria, Turkmenistan
AFFORDABILITY by GENERATION
1960s Car = $2,000 | Home = $19,000
1990s Car = $12,000 | Home = $150,000
2020s Car = $40,000 | Home = $400,000

Serfdom to Slavery to Subscriptions. What's next?
Democracy IS NOT a spectator sport.
Please find a way of getting informed and involved.
A Thomas Jefferson quote on education and democracy is:
"I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education".
WAR is a crime against humanity.
Justin comments on his Marine Corps service from 2003-2012. Although peace is the ultimate goal, we must also be able to fight for what we believe in.
As odd as it may sound, my time serving across war-torn nations - has deepened my appreciation of peace and diplomacy.
Why are you running for office?
Similar to why I joined the Marine Corps infantry in 2003 after graduating high school, I feel a call to serve.
-
We need term limits, removal of dark money and lobbying from the system, non-partisan primaries or ranked-choice voting options, etc.
-
The federal budget rests more on the backs of individual earners than it does on the backs of wealthy corporations - it's due time that changes!
-
Universal Healthcare, Education Reform and expansion, Immigration Reform, Data Privacy
