Ending Voter Suppression

I believe all Alabamians deserve a the same opportunities to enjoy The American Dream.  That is why I will work hard every day as Alabama’s governor to:  

• Support all efforts to end voter suppression;
• Oppose any efforts to silence the voice of voters;
• Oppose any efforts to undermine The Voting Rights Act, especially those that misrepresent minority representation through gerrymandering Congressional districts;
• Close the gender wage gap for women;
• Work to ensure that politics don’t interfere with efforts to promote equal rights for all;
• Support the Equality Act, which would add LGBTQIA to the Civil Rights Act of 1965 as a protected class;
• Unify the State of Alabama, championing discussions on “race relations,” diversity, and equality;
• Combat income inequality, working to ensure that women are truly paid the same wages for the same work;
• Champion the rights of women—especially those who are victims of crimes which include abuse, bullying, domestic violence, human trafficking, and sexual assault,
• Seek equal sentences for equal justice while ultimately combating recidivism;
• Seek to end discrepancies between minimum sentences for illegal substances (crack, powder cocaine), and;
• Seek to prevent crime rather than trying to suppress it.
