If I was ever going to ruin for a state level public office, here's what I would base my entire campaign on:
1. Ending daylight savings.
2. Ending the practice of property taxes being used to fund schools.
3. End income taxes and move to a higher sales tax on all good that are not: rent/mortgage, first vehicle for a household, medicine/healthcare/services, clothing items up to ~$250 (you can buy good steel toed boots or a decent enough suit for that amount of dirty fiat), and food (meaning actual food, not prepared or pre-packaged stuff; potatoes would be untaxed but a bag of chips would be subject to tax)
4. Reinstate 10th amendment controls on the state, meaning, the FedGov can get bent. Anything produced and sold within the state shall not be subject to any tax or regulation from the FedGov. Period. Run a local business? You will not have to pay federal income taxes. Part of this will be using the state level judiciary to defend anyone who is persecuted by the FedGov, and also passing laws to prevent any state or subjected municipal levels below the state from aiding and abeting any federal agency for any reason, especially the IRS or FBI, and installing civil penalties if any LEO or agency is found to collude with said deeded agencies or agents.
5. End civil asset forfeiture.
6. End qualified immunity and instate policy that all LEOs will henceforth operate under commonlaw practice as justices the peace and not revenue generation agencies. This will be accomplished primarily through requiring each officer to carry liability insurance. If they are uninsurable, they cannot continue in their position.
7. Increase penalties for fraud and corruption for all civil servants.
8. Break the backs of all public sector unions.
9. Move all computer systems in the state to Linux and FOSS systems and legally prohibit data harvesting and databases that breach public trust and privacy. This will include policy for bug finding, penetration testing, and extensive external auditing.
10. End all professional licensing requirements.
11. End all prohibitions on drugs and food. Want to do cocaine? Have at it. Want to eat raw cheese? Enjoy.
12. Eliminate restraints on judges to sentence criminals. Instate policy to punish crime harshly, and define crime as only actions that produce victims.
13. Declare that money is not taxable. Declare that BTC and precious metals are money.
14. Eliminate concealed carry licensing requirements. Make it easier to apply for one for purposes of reciprocity and insurance.
15. Pass the "Defend The Guard Act."
16. Pass an anti-geoengineering bill (just in case).
17. Pass laws restricting zoning enforcement to only properties that pass certain criteria (immediately adjacent domiciles, building a building that could fall and take out other people's property, facilities that are open to the public commercially, specifically not to include PMAs, etc.)
18. Formally recognize PMAs.
19. Limit any and all emergency powers by both time and extent.
20. Fund building several SMRs all over the state or allow private corporations to build them under an advisory committee.
I think that's enough for now. Mostly just thinking about a bunch of things. I'm actively anti-political, but, I still think about these things sometimes.
