Anti-Corruption Agenda

These proposals extend to Members of Congress, the President, Vice President, Cabinet Secretaries, and Supreme Court Justices

Overturn Citizens United

I spent 30 years defending a government of, by, and for the people, not a government for sale to the highest bidder. The consequences of Citizens United have been severe: corporations and billionaires pour unlimited money into our elections, drowning out the voices of everyday Floridians. I will fight for a constitutional amendment to reverse Citizens United and put power back with the people, where it belongs.

Ban Corporate PAC Donations

No elected official should owe their seat to a corporation's checkbook. That is why I will never take a dime of corporate PAC money in this campaign. This should be the standard for every Member of Congress. Citizens, not corporations, should have the final say in choosing our representatives.

Ban Buying and Selling Stocks — Move Current Holdings Into a Blind Trust

Government officials sit in briefings, vote on legislation, and shape policies that move markets every single day. Far too many of them are cashing in on that access while the people they represent are left playing catch up. We must ban officials from buying and selling individual stocks while in office — and require every sitting Member to move their existing holdings into a blind trust so no one in Washington ever has the chance to shirk their duties for the benefit of their portfolio.

Ban Investments in Donor-Owned Companies

If a politician can personally profit by investing in a company owned by one of their own donors, the public has no way of knowing whether their vote was earned or bought. This type of quiet, run-of-the-mill corruption has become standard operating procedure in Washington. And they know it. That is why this type of legislation has never been introduced. When I get elected I will change that.

Disclose Every Lobbyist Meeting

Government accountability starts with knowing who's actually influencing the decisions being made on your behalf. I will introduce legislation requiring Members to disclose all meetings with lobbyists, so Washington operates with transparency.

Ban Prediction Market Betting

No one who has a hand in shaping policy decisions should be allowed to profit by betting on the outcome. Whether it's a vote, a policy, or a war, officials with inside knowledge must not be allowed to treat the consequences of their own decisions as an opportunity to cash in.

Suspend Pay During Government Shutdowns

Leaders eat last and real leadership involves sacrifice. When government leaders fail to do their jobs, they should not be insulated from the consequences. Americans and public servants feel the fallout of a shutdown in their daily lives, and the people responsible for it should too.

Congressional Term Limits

Our founding fathers never meant for Congress to be run by career politicians. It is time to fix this. The majority of Americans support term limits for Congress because we all want leaders in Washington focused on delivering results, not winning their next election.
