Samuel Ronan believes in fighting for working class Americans who have been neglected by the D.C. establishment of both parties for far too long. Sam has spent his entire adult life in the military and views his candidacy as a continuation of his service to our country. The rules of our system have been written by a small number of millionaires and billionaires and have not been set up so that the people can truly win. In Congress, Sam Ronan will give the people a real voice and ensure a future for all. Read more here
Just a bit From RonanForCongress:
•Healthcare
I firmly believe that healthcare is a right for ALL, not a privilege for the elites. We are currently paying over $400 billion each year just on the administrative waste and profits of the private health insurance system, whose business model is dependent on denying Americans’ coverage. I will fight to pass legislation that establishes a single payer, Medicare For All healthcare system, and will fight against any legislation aimed at cutting funding to Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, or Tricare. I strongly support Rep. Conyers’ H.R. 676 Expanded & Improved Medicare For All Act, currently at over 100 co-sponsors in the House.
•On The Environment
I’m a strong supporter of protecting the environment. Climate change is real and is in many ways the most pressing issue facing the world at this very moment. We have taken steps to address the slow moving catastrophe of climate change, but we haven’t done nearly enough, and we cannot afford to delay or roll back environmental progress in any way. Our children’s future and our national security depend on it.
I understand that water is life. To that end I will support legislation to protect our streams and waterways, end fracking, stop pipelines (which inevitably leak and pollute our water and soil), defend wildlife and our parks service, and aggressively move to transition us to a 100% renewable, clean energy economy by 2050 by supporting solar, wind, tidal, and geothermal energy expansion.
•Women’s Rights
As a strong supporter of women’s rights, I believe in a women’s right to choose and will oppose any legislation that seeks to roll back Roe v. Wade. I understand that free and open access to contraceptives has been proven to reduce abortions. I also understand the importance of Planned Parenthood and the health benefits it provides for women and men, primarily in low-income communities. I will oppose any efforts to defund or eliminate Planned Parenthood. I support equal pay for equal work. I support 12 weeks paid family leave for all employees.
