KEY ISSUES
Tre has always stood strong in the fight for progressive values. When it comes to the struggle for climate action, criminal justice reform, and removing corruption from our legislature, we can’t just wait around for progressive change. The time to act is now – for People, Planet, and Peace.
Our veterans are deserving of respect and honor for the service they have given to our nation. Tre supports enhancing VA services so our veterans can have the best possible healthcare upon their return from service.
VETERANS
Education is beyond important to ensuring that the next generation of Arizonans are prepared for the world at large and are able to make a difference while being effective in pursuit of their goals. Tre believes we must have well-funded schools and stand strong against those who want to ban books.
EDUCATION
Tre’s opponents, Democrat and Republican alike, support the ongoing war between Gaza and Israel. Tre’s party believes in keeping us out of foreign conflicts and offering supporting where possible to oppressed groups against their oppressors. Tre’s party supports the Boycott, Divest, and Sanction movement against Israel. Tre’s party believes that a proper foreign policy is one which should seekĀ justice for marginalized groups.
FOREIGN POLICY
Our oceans have been destroyed by corporatist abuse of our planet and a failure of our nation to create international treaties on environmental management. Tre’s party supports using combined government resources while introducing measures which prevent American companies from contributing further to the climate disaster occurring just off our shores.
OCEAN CLEANUP
Tre’s party believes we must hold those who damage our environment accountable both domestically and on the international stage. Our nation can look at adding state legislation to bring justice to climate abusers and regulate large corporations when it comes to their environmental impact. We must reform climate legislation to better fit the modern era.
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE
The Democrats introduced a “Green New Deal” which effectively stole the name of a Green Party idea and corrupted it with corporate welfare and false promises. Tre’s party supports the introduction of a real Green New Deal. We should not be using our government to give further corporate welfare out to companies which get rich off of the taxpayer dollar. Tre believes we should be directly investing in and regulating affairs concerning our environment.
A GREEN NEW DEAL
43 million Americans suffer from student debt. Tre’s party believes we should abolish this to allow them to better contribute to the economy. The Green Party believes companies don’t need the money – they have been making record profits and have only been able to do so from abusive contracts.
ABOLISH STUDENT DEBT
The Green Party believes that it is time to introduce a more progressive tax system and tax the rich. Our tax system is full of loopholes and outdated provisions which harm our nation. The Green Party believes we should increase the estate tax on wealthy individuals while reducing taxes on those whose real income falls below $75,000 per household.
RAISE TAXES ON THE RICH
Insider stock trading is broken and corrupt. It should be banned. Nobody should have an advantage over others in the stock market just because they are an elected official.
END INSIDER STOCK TRADING
Tre believes stage capitalism and corporate greed are harming working class Americans. The Green Party believes families are suffering across the nation when they aren’t able to receive a living wage. Tre believes we must raise the wage across the board to equalize wages in the new digital economy which has connected us more than ever before. Now that we are connected on the global economy from our pockets, the Green Party believes we should fight for higher wages and equal rights for ALL Americans.
STOP LATE STAGE CAPITALISM AND CORPORATE GREED
Arizona’s 8th Legislative District is the homelessness capital of Arizona. Failed representation from the Democratic party has led to repeated false promises with zero results. Every election cycle we hear from politicians like Lauren Kuby and Janeen Connolly how they will help homeless Arizonans – and cycle after cycle we see the problem get worse. It’s time for policies which guarantee housing as a human right and get services to the people most in need.
HOUSING AS A HUMAN RIGHT
The Green Party believes we should abandon a first-past-the-post system and adopt a more common sense voting system. They believe ranked choice voting would save the state millions of dollars in elections while allowing candidates who better reflect the views of the district to get into office more often and that our current system harms Democracy. The Green Party of Arizona OPPOSES Prop. 140 in November.
VOTING REFORM
The Green Party of Arizona believes gun violence has been harming our communities. Tre believes we need to prevent weapons from getting into the hands of criminals and establish more ways to address the mental health crisis which has driven gun violence up across America.
STOP GUN VIOLENCE
The Green Party believes that healthcare is a human right. We have an obligation to save life where we can. The Green Party believes that the United States should adopt a universal “Medicare for all” system which guarantees coverage for all Americans.
UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE
Our farmers and agricultural workers are incredibly important to this nation. We must produce healthy foods which are regulated for microplastic and otherwise poisonous content while investing into modern farming methods to improve our overall productivity.
