<h2>Fighting Climate Change</h2>

<p>Today, Doug Chapin, a nationally recognized expert on democracy and elections, announced his candidacy for the U.S. House of Representatives to represent Minnesota’s 6th Congressional District.</p>

<p>The White House's "BIG" budget bill also slashed funding to social services and imposed strict rules (like work requirements). I will fight to <span style="color: var(--color-text-accent-secondary); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text-accent-secondary);"><strong style="color: var(--color-text-accent-secondary); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text-accent-secondary);">reverse Medicare and Medicaid cuts</strong></span> - and not just restore the lost funding but ensure that these programs are fully funded in order to keep the promises we have made to one another as Americans.</p>

<h2>Medicare and Medicaid</h2>

<p>The Boundary Waters are nothing less than sacred. We do not need or want them to be exploited for mining or other purposes - and certainly not when it benefits foreign companies and foreign markets. <br>I will be a NO on any proposal to remove protections for the BWCA.<br></p>

<h2>The Boundary Waters</h2>

<p>H.R. 1 - the White House's "BIG" budget bill - extended tax cuts for the super-wealthy. I will vote to <span style="color: var(--color-text-accent-secondary); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text-accent-secondary);"><strong style="color: var(--color-text-accent-secondary); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text-accent-secondary);">repeal billionaires' tax cuts</strong></span> so that everyone pays their fair share - and working families get to keep more of their hard-earned money.</p>

<p>The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has done massive damage to modern medicine with its bizarre policies along with devastating cuts to research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). <span style="color: var(--color-text-accent-secondary); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text-accent-secondary);"><strong style="color: var(--color-text-accent-secondary); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text-accent-secondary);">I will fight to impeach HHS Secretary RFK, Jr.</strong></span>, clean house of anti-vax and anti-science officials, and revive America's long tradition of leading the world in medical research and innovation.</p>
