It’s Herb Jones. He’s right (and by that I mean left) on every issue.
Economy ~ yep! Not only a union, pro labour, pro living wage kind of guy, he says:
... just setting a minimum wage is not enough. We have to create an economy and jobs that people earn much more than the “minimum living” wage.
He’s endorsed by the Virginia AFL-CIO and the VA Professional Firefighters Union.
Education ~ yep! He back’s public school all the way. He has in his family, former public school principals and school superintendents.
I believe our schools and education systems of today are the economies of tomorrow.
Gun Safety ~ yep! A Full Bird Army Colonel who knows from guns, he’s endorsed by the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, Moms Demand Action, Gabby Giffords, and the Brady Pac.
Herb Jones wants to protect our environment, provide health care for all, stop filling our prisons with people with drug addictions, and protect women’s rights to reproductive health care.
He’s endorsed by NOW and VOTE VETS.
Legalize marijuana ~ yep!
I will work to create and implement commonsense regulations that will regulate the adult use of cannabis, and the cultivation and harvest of industrial hemp. Removing these barriers will create jobs, spur the economy, and save millions of dollars in prioritizing law enforcement resources. In states with full regulated adult use, the use of opioids is markedly lower.
Tax reform ~ yep! He thinks the rich should be taxed at a higher rate than the poor.
A person who earns $17,000/year the income tax rate is 5.75% If a person earns 10 million dollars a year, the income tax rate is 5.75%. This is simply wrong.
Herb Jones is also endorsed by Bold Progressives and Howie Klein’s Blue America Pac.
This guy seems to like him too:
So where is the Daily Kos love for this progressive candidate?
