I admit it, this election I’m not voting with our country in mind as much as myself, my family and friends.

I am voting:

For honesty and transparency in government. No more lies. Democratic.

To protect health care for pre-existing conditions. Democratic.

To keep Social Security and Medicare. Democratic.

To fight COVID-19. Democratic.

To reverse climate change and the increase in wildfires. Democratic.

To end corporate control of politicians. Democratic.

To end foreign meddling in our elections. Democratic.

For uncensored science. Democratic.

For jobs and our economy. Democratic.

To strengthen our weakened alliances. Democratic.

For clean air and water. Democratic.

For leaders focused on us rather than themselves. Democratic.

For the wealthy to pay their share of taxes. Democratic.

To honor and support our brave military and veterans. Democratic.

For voting rights, human rights and the fight for equality.

Democratic.
