Political Party- Weak Democrat
__Congress man I most agree with:__ Jim Himes, I agree with his issues and what he plans to do to help our country.- link- [] **These are my three main issues:** 1. Criminal Justice- Criminal Justice is one of my main points because if we can stop this, the whole entire world will be a better place. We would not have to worry about robbery or harm any more. It would almost be a perfect world. 2. Health and Care- I think health and care is important because we want people to be healthy and live as long as they can. We want everyone to live as long as possible. This could also stop people from depresion and sadness because they lost someone. 3. Gun Control- I think if we are more cautious on gun control there would be less crimes and deaths. We could make a law that only certain people can buy guns or you have to be a certain age to buy a gun.
