We are now the United Corporations of America!

Social Democracy is a way towards a more perfect union.

American Dream or Illusion?

NO More WAR 

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.

We have a lot of problems to solve.

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

Those that forget the past are bound to repeat it.

A people that values its privileges above its principles, soon loses both.

When the ‘power of love’ overcomes the ‘love of power’ the world will know peace.
