Campaign Views:

Environment: Wants to put 100B per year by 2020 towards climate change mitigation 5 billion towards green-collar jobs

We could put hundreds and hundreds of young people to work right now, putting solar panels in, insulating homes.

Marijuana: should people be able to smoke marijuana on their own accord? Wait and see on recreational marijuana, medicinal now. States should decide “We have at least two states that are experimenting with that right now. I want to wait and see what the evidence is.”

LGBT: Pro-gay marriage and LBGT equality

“I re-evaluated & changed my mind on gay marriage”.

Education: For common core, bible should be taught as history and literature

“Schools may not provide religious instruction, but they may teach about the Bible or other scripture in the teaching of history or literature, for example.”

Promises to funnel 350 billion federal dollars towards colleges

Jobs and minimum wage: Wants to raise minimum wage. There are those who have opposed an increase in the minimum wage, arguing that it will cost jobs, and there are some people who say we need more studies. They are wrong.
