As a longtime member of the Legal Marijuana Now party, Mike has long held the belief that marijuana should be legalized across the United States for medical and recreational purposes. He promises on day one, to take this fight to Washington on behalf of the millions of people across this great nation who use marijuana to their own benefit.

Mike is against the ongoing surveillance of the citizens of the United States by its own government. Mike promises to repeal the PATRIOT act and to reestablish every American’s right to privacy.

The United States government hasn’t technically participated in a war since World War Two, and yet we continue to fight on foreign lands. The United States must no longer participate in these foreign entanglements that have done nothing else but to stoke anger against the United States and hurt our very own servicemen and servicewomen. Every single dollar spent to drop bombs in another nation, are your tax dollars that could be spent on our schools, or our infrastructure. We must realign our interests in government with those of the people!

Mike supports ending the Supreme Court’s ruling on Citizens United, and believes that all elections in the United States must be funded purely through tax dollars. We continue to witness politicians across both political parties wilfully take corporate PAC dollars or foreign lobbying money. This MUST be put to an end.
Our elected officials must no longer be allowed to engage in stock trading or become lobbyists after having served. We must expose the swamp for what it is, a place where the wealthiest are allowed to get away with the most heinous acts. That is why Mike will vote in support of releasing the Epstein files and seek justice for the countless victims who were oppressed and violated by the many perpetrators. No matter what party or who was involved, justice must be served to renew belief in government and our justice system.

We must protect and expand these services that have been so crucial to the lives of millions of Americans. Social Security has proven to be the most successful government program throughout U.S. history, ensuring that our elderly population are able to retire comfortably and not in poverty. Mike pledges to eliminate the income cap placed on Social Security, allowing it to continue perpetually and allow our children and grandchildren to receive this truly important service.
Medicare and Medicaid must be expanded, and eventually cover every single American. Private medical insurance has proven to be a disaster in the United States. Each year, tens of thousands of Americans die due to a lack of health insurance coverage. This is an issue that is resolvable, but hasn’t been taken care of due to the powerful insurance lobby. Mike promises to fight back against insurance companies and ensure that every single American has access to life-saving healthcare that will not place them in debt. Medical debt is a concept that doesn’t exist in other developed nations. Mike will fight for your right for universal healthcare.

Labor unions for decades have been under constant attack by business interests. Mike stands firmly with his brothers and sisters in organized labor and seeks to incorporate labor unions in as many ways as possible in our economy. Representation in the workplace matters, and with corporations treating workers like cattle, we must fight back.

By the state each donor wrote on the filing, across 8 states and territories. Donors who have given $200 or less this cycle are not itemized, so they cannot be placed on a map. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total.

A further $1,740 came from donors whose answer names no employer (blank), so it is not ranked. Itemized gifts over $200, grouped by the words donors filed: not an industry classification, and a gift from an employee is not a gift from the employer. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total. Gifts of $200 or less ($110) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.

“Proposed” marks money from groups whose place is not yet reviewed by a person. Each group is placed by its filings and its own words, never by which party it backs. Every interest · How groups are placed
Money groups spent on their own, not through a campaign. Each ad is filed against the candidate it names, so money attacking an opponent shows on the opponent’s row. Open a candidate to see who spent it.
Each group that spent in this race is followed to where its own money came from, and what it spent is split by those shares: a group whose money was 60% one person's counts as 60% of its spending theirs. Of what traced, 26% to named individuals, 43% to organizations, 26% to tax-exempt organizations that need not name their donors, 0.8% to committees nothing more could be followed from, 4.2% not itemized in the filings.

Read for the 18 largest groups of 50, 97% of the $71.8M spent. Shares are of what each group received, not a record of which dollar went where; an organization that need not name its donors ends the trail; a person who gave by more than one route is counted once here. It shows who stood behind the money, not what it was for.
