Benjamin Wesley

Legislation If elected to Congress, I will not vote for a single dollar of supplemental funding for foreign wars without a congressional war resolution and will fight to get more federal dollars into our children's schools. Government Reform This can be either in the form of lower taxes or investments in affordable housing, improved schools, new infrastructure, health care for all, and better social services. Housing I’ll work with the federal housing administration, local governments, realtors, builders, and social service agencies on ways to increase affordable housing inventory. Defense / Veterans America does not need the one trillion dollar plus annual defense budget that it currently has. It does not need the more than 800 bases it currently maintains worldwide. Let's identify what savings in military spending can be made and return that money to the people! Civil Rights Recent media reports and judicial rulings confirm that the federal government was collaborating with X, Facebook, and other big social media to identify users deemed subversive and blocked them. That's a direct violation of the First Amendment! You deserve a congressman who will fight for your right to express yourself freely without government interference.
