Issue Position
Hard-working families and devote employees deserve better incomes and more benefits while also allowing employers to manage and prosper.

The solution is better regulations to expand and strengthen workers’ rights with less government interference while also allowing business development and more profits.

Mom-and-pop small businesses and non-profit organizations need more direct financial support, and larger companies need indirect tax savings and direct incentives to work with smaller businesses and self-employment entities, thereby, mutually benefiting from one another to be productive and prosperous with the support of our government.
Issue Position
We need a better answer to improve our questionable criminal justice system, which should prioritize rehabilitation over incarceration, considering that this problem is not only local but national.

The solution is to cease the cycle of recidivism and help people to become valuable contributors to their communities through sensible government policies and supportive community programs to give opportunities for reformed individuals. Government must make wiser decisions by creation of enforceable laws, implementation of effective regulations, and establishment of well-managed community crime prevention and criminal reform support programs to prevent crimes instead of making excuses for increasing crimes and spending more money for repeat criminal offenders.

Many politicians have distorted the purpose of the U.S. Constitution and created problems for citizens and law enforcement agencies. We must enact realistic improvements in gun safety to have common sense gun reform that supports businesses and law enforcement to cooperate and protect our schools and neighborhoods, not making excuses for the responsibilities of manufacturers and law enforcement agents in which separate ideologies divide us to fight for different goals instead of supporting the unity for safety of our community and protecting citizens.
Issue Position
Our government must listen to teachers and administrators to empower students to learn and develop their full potential in a safe and supportive environment.

​The answer is to provide necessary resources to protect the safety of schools and support teachers and administrators with advanced learning tools. By doing these essential acts, parents could entrust teachers with their precious children for the best possible education and preparation to be successful and happy in their lives.

In Congress, I shall provide the necessary support for teachers and facilitates so that the betterment of administrators' skills can empower teachers and students to be the best instructors and scholars in order to be well-developed persons for challenges beyond classrooms.

As your Congress Representative, I will be the best possible supporter of schools and students because of experiences as a student and a teacher, learning from failures, and enduring the injustice of discrimination, which allowed me to excel as a student, a teacher, and a productive citizen in our community and country.
Issue Position
Healthcare is a human right and every American deserves quality healthcare without having to worry about the cost.

Too many working families, military families, and Americans seeking a better life are forced to sacrifice healthcare insurance because of necessary medications and treatments in order to pay for credit card debts, apartment rents, home mortgages, child care items, utilities, foods and more needed things, which is harmful to our health and deleterious to our quality of life. It is imperative that our government implement a better healthcare system than the current Affordable Health Care Act, which is an unaffordable and unpractical healthcare system for our citizens and county.

The solution is to establish a comprehensive healthcare system with patients, providers, and insurance companies in industries of medical, pharmaceutical, insurance, and other stakeholders to develop an effective and efficient affordable healthcare system to assist in fully paid health care services for Americans as well as promote profits for businesses. Our government must structure and simplify the current healthcare system to ensure that every family, military veteran, and person has enough coverage for essential medical appointments, medications, therapies, and treatments – including vision, hearing, and dental care, which is still an incomplete health care service with the requirement of expensive patient's co-pay plan.

By embracing my proposal, we can promote the well-being and prosperity of our nation and develop a realistic budget to pay for the best possible health care for all of us.
Issue Position
Our country is the land of opportunity, yet we are challenged more than ever to hold onto the American Dream. Our government must create a better plan for immigrants and U.S. citizens, because of mistakes in budget and unwise migration policies that are limiting opportunities for us. The American Dream is possible because of U.S. citizens and the contribution of immigrants, who have earned U.S. citizenship through the naturalization process. However, this process is problematic today and we must act to preserve it before it is lost.

The solution is to support the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), non-U.S. citizens by legal entry, and other immigration programs that help immigrants become U.S. citizens and protect them from deportation to preserve their unity of families and friends in the U.S.A.

In Congress, I shall create and/or support legislation that will provide government social regulation of sponsorship to permit them the opportunity to achieve U.S. citizenship and the American Dream, ensuring that relatives of families are not separated and not costing taxpayers for immigrants.

We must be promoting our diversity as “one nation” to give the best opportunity for Americans in global competitiveness to have a positive tomorrow.
