Campaign website
Newton’s campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
ENSURING HEALTH CARE FOR ALL No family should have to go bankrupt to pay for their medical bills. The COVID-19 crisis highlighted the many failures in our health care system and the urgent need for reform. In the Senate, Rett will fight to lower prescription drug costs, protect North Carolinians with pre-existing conditions, and strengthen the Affordable Care Act. Rett will work to expand Medicaid in North Carolina and ensure that every American has equal access to quality, affordable health care.
The pandemic has brought about a devastating economic crisis that has intensified the gap between the haves and the have nots, with millions out of work, small businesses crumbling and the rich getting even richer. Many Americans and North Carolinians are struggling to afford food, housing, and basic necessities. As our Senator, Rett will work to support small businesses, raise the minimum wage, expand workers' rights, and reinvest in North Carolina's infrastructure to create local jobs.
As a marine scientist, Rett deeply understands climate change and the effects it has had on our North Carolina coast. During his time as Mayor of Beaufort, Rett has worked to clean up our waterways, rebuild after hurricanes, and invest in our infrastructure to prepare for new climate challenges. In Washington, Rett will fight to accelerate our transition to clean, renewable energy, making sure that we prioritize low-income and regional communities that have been hardest hit by climate change and pollution.
In the Air Force, Rett defended all Americans and the belief that all of us are equal and deserving of the same rights and freedoms. From the endless discrimination that people of color face in our criminal justice system, to protections for LGBTQIA+ individuals, to women fighting an uphill battle when it comes to access to educational opportunities and even their basic healthcare needs, Rett will work in the Senate to ensure that every American is treated with dignity.
This nation was shaped by immigrants and we have thrived because of our unparalleled diversity, powered by generations of hard-working immigrant communities. In the Senate, Rett is committed to protecting immigrant communities and ensuring immigrants have access to critical services, including the COVID-19 vaccine, economic aid, and aid to small businesses. Rett will work alongside the Biden-Harris administration and hold the White House accountable to address the crisis at the border, protect DREAMers, and ensure a path to citizenship.
The countless police killings and subsequent protests over the last few years have made clear to the world what people of color have known their entire lives—that our policing and criminal justice systems are broken, rooted in bias and racism, and in desperate need of reform. In the summer of 2020, Rett proudly supported the local Black Lives Matter movement in Beaufort and he will continue to fight for comprehensive criminal justice reform on the local, state, and federal level. Racial bias and excessive force in law enforcement is unacceptable and there must be accountability. Rett will prioritize ending the school-to-prison pipeline, investing in preventative measures like mental health care, and eliminating for-profit prisons.
Democracy works best when more people vote and are engaged in the democratic process. That's why Rett will work to combat attempts at voter suppression at every level of government and expand in person early voting and vote-by-mail while providing resources to ensure election security. In addition, Rett is committed to protecting voters from racial discrimination and he will work to restore and strengthen the protections of the Voting Rights Act.[1] |
