- We support the enactment and enforcement of financial transparency laws.

- We expect elected officials to report real or perceived conflicts of interest to their constituents, and advocate shining light on areas where conflict exists.
Promoting Competition by Stopping Corporate Concentration
- Promote competition in our local corporate environment to encourage corporate diversity and economic development.
Making the Wealthy Pay Their Fair Share of Taxes
- We support closing all tax loopholes that benefit the wealthy.
- We support the simplification of the tax code.
