Where Flanagan stands

What will you do to support a vibrant economy across the United States, and to address inflation? (500 characters)

In America one good job should be enough. There are policies that I will fight for so that our economy works for everyone, not just those at the top: from raising the minimum wage to a national paid family leave policy, to government issued loans for small businesses and ensuring entrepreneurs aren’t paying more in taxes than giant corporations, to expanding the Child Tax Credit. All of these actions will put more money back in people’s pockets and ultimately strengthen our economy for all.

What if anything do you think should be done to reform our federal court system? (500 characters)

I support exploring all options to restore the trust in the role of the federal judiciary, especially the Supreme Court. Americans are losing trust in the Court’s ability to rule based on the law instead of politics, which undermines our Democracy.Recent stories of justices taking lavish trips paid for by wealthy donors further hurts the credibility of the Court. All options have to be on the table for Court reform, including a code of ethics, term limits, and adding seats to the court.
