Jerrad Christian

  • Health care costs
    Universal healthcare is a non-partisan policy in nearly every other modern country. It is proven to lower costs while removing the middle men who tell us which doctors we can see and which medications we can buy. 3
  • Cost of living & jobs
    Raising the minimum wage is not radical. What should not be up for debate is whether someone who works deserves to live above the poverty line. 3
  • Immigration
    Abolishing ICE as it exists and replacing it with a narrowly tailored, accountable system focused on real public safety is a serious conversation this country needs to have. 3

No public stance found on: Guns, Crime & safety
