A free people.
An accountable republic.

Elections: security, privacy & public trust.

Protect the voter. Make the process verifiable. Use technology where it proves its value.

I want to protect identifiable ballot-return information while voting is underway, test signature safeguards against AI-assisted imitation, and use carefully tested technology to reduce repetitive work and costs. Public confidence should rest on independently verifiable evidence, not assurances from officials or vendors.

The Sacred Ballot remains a separate, long-term developing proposal. These election positions also address the systems we use today.

Put explicit term limits on Congress.

I support explicit congressional term limits. The power of incumbency can make elections alone an insufficient check on entrenched officeholders.

Long service can accumulate fundraising advantages, influence, and institutional power. I want a system that keeps public service open to new people and makes it harder for a seat to become a permanent possession.

My position is support for a defined limit on congressional service through an amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Under U.S. Term Limits, Inc. v. Thornton, ordinary federal or state legislation cannot add those term-limit qualifications. A specific number of terms and the details of transition should be stated and debated as part of an actual amendment proposal.

Put powerful tools in people’s hands.

I support open-source AI and broad access to useful technology. People should be able to inspect, improve, adapt, and build with these tools.

I oppose concentrating the power of AI exclusively in government or a few large corporations. A society that learns to use technology responsibly gives ordinary people more opportunity to create and solve problems.

My emphasis is accountability for the person directing harmful actions. Using a new tool should not erase responsibility for fraud, coercion, or other harm—but fear of possible misuse should not become a blanket barrier to everyone else’s progress.

Education is central: help people understand what a tool does, where it fails, and how to exercise judgment when using it.

Education, Not Regulation.

Government should cultivate a people capable of self-government. Teach responsible use, explain consequences, and treat citizens as intelligent adults.

Prohibitions can increase the appeal of the thing being forbidden. They can also shift time, staff, and money toward policing behavior rather than helping people understand it.

My first question is whether education, clear expectations, and personal responsibility can address the problem. Freedom works best when people understand the consequences of their decisions and take ownership of them.

This is the connecting principle behind my support for mastery-based education, open technology, accessible explanations of elections, and government that answers to the people.
