David, on the issues:

➔ Healthcare +

"I support eventually moving to an all public healthcare system which has been estimated to cost less than our current system. ..."

➔ Human Rights +

"I will reject any legislation that does not support equal rights including laws that make it more difficult for same-sex couples to marry or develop a family."

"Sensible gun reform measures such as background checks for all private sales, Red Flag laws, and appropriate Child Access Prevention laws can help end gun violence without infringing in any way on our Second Amendment rights. ..."

➔ Energy +

"Addressing environmental issues is now more critical than ever before. I support measures that help protect our air and water and public lands that we all appreciate and enjoy having and experiencing, including a clean and renewable energy portfolio. ..."
