Do you support "The Speaker Project" from the organization No Labels, a proposal to change several House rules with the intent of encouraging bipartisan cooperation? (Learn more at https://www.nolabels.org/the-speaker-project/)

"Bipartisan claimed as an exceptional accomplishment just shows we have serious operator error with those in DC right now. There should be changes. Detailed on my site on Designing a Better Election Process. For starters, have matching committees. Let the tie go to the runner and have laws with no clear majority passage in committee go to the floor for debate and voting on. The way it was before recent Congresses starting using nuclear options."

Should Congress create a path to citizenship for illegal/undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children?

"We have no limit on the size of America's population. If that we so we would be debating a China like one child policy. The issue with immigration is that Congress has not matched supply to demand. If all those seeking life in the US were being properly and promptly processed we would have no immigration crisis. It is white nationalist fears that are driving current policy and the human rights violations are now being recognized by the world and concerned and caring citizens. We can do much better."

Should the federal government ban abortion after 20 weeks gestation, with exceptions for cases of rape/incest and health complications?

Do you generally support higher tariffs on imports from countries such as China, where we have a large trade deficit?

"A trade deficit is just an indication that home based industries need to up their game. The dlow will reverse when automated factories produce lower cost goods then imports with lower labor costs are are currently doing. As there is no real limit on money there is no danger of us running out from doing business overseas. Its about cash flow. The same dollars can make millionaires of many people when they are being circulated constantly."

We would have no idea who to retaliate against. Spend $25 to $40 billion on upping the Navy, Ciast Guard and Intel Services. The few threats that cross the border are an enhanced law enforcement solution."
