7. Thanks for encouraging me to look into this.

Raskin sounds good.

'If elected to Congress, the number one priority for Raskin will be climate change. "It's the whole context within which we've got to decide everything else," he says. "We need a green deal in America. We need to realign national priorities so we're investing in alternative, renewable technologies and disengaging from the fossil fuels."

Fighting back against wealth inequality in America is his next priority. If elected, he promises to defend the right of working people to organize and engage in collective bargaining. He'll fight for a living wage, and for pay equity for women. He'll fight for the struggling small businesses that never get the billion dollar bailouts from the federal government. He'll fight for debt-free college education, and he'll fight for a progressive tax system that does not allow the country's biggest corporations to dodge taxes by shipping their profits off to tax havens all over the world.

The other big issue for Raskin is the role of money in politics.'>>>

Will keep looking.
