I want to be as wealthy as Donald Trump, he is a great business man, and I know my experience includes working in business has prepared me to improve the economy people like myself. The Democratic Party has developed and economic policies that have built the working class. Let’s get this class to work!

Congress should be working to stabilize the economy by considering the working class increasingly salaries and offering economic bonuses.

Reforming immigration laws should offer education to those that are wanted to move to the United States to be college educated and joining working class Americans.

National security with foreign policy requires Congress and economic advisors to spend. The stimulus payments improved the economy to those that needed economic growth. We need additional wealthy economic advisors to increase our economy for the college educated as we offer free education for those that are interested in refining their families with education.

Essential workers in healthcare are needed to insure that healthcare premiums are affordable. When elected to Congress my priority will be to offer health insurance to those that need it most.
