Campaign website
LaGrone’s campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
I am Dr. Tobias E. LaGrone, I am a Pro-life Conservative Democrat, I believe that all life is sacred from the womb to the tomb, because God created every Soul on purpose, for purpose, and with purpose. In terms of our tax dollars, we as people of faith do have a right to demand that our tax dollars NOT be used to abort the God -designed destiny of any child, either through abortion, unjustified police shootings, school to prison pipelines, or foreign wars for corporate interests. I believe all people are created equally by an Intelligent Creator and we should not discriminant against any person because of their race, ethnicity, gender, sexual identity, socio-economic status, or religious belief. As your United States Senator, I will work to provide safe communities, livable wages, affordable housing, affordable childcare, affordable healthcare, job training, fair law enforcement, and quality educational opportunities.
Your data is a multibillion-dollar business, Facebook, Instagram, Google, and Amazon are collecting tons of data on you every day, you should have the right to know how your data is being used. You should know the image that your data profile is painting about your life. Are employers using this data in hiring? Are banks using this data? Are health insurance companies using this data? With my plan every American will be afforded the opportunity to receive two reports per year regarding who their electronic data is being shared with and/or sold to, and how this data is being used. This is no different than receiving annual credit reports from the Equifax, Experian, Transunion.
Employee Assessment Transparency Act Upon the offer to interview, all potential employee(s) and/or current employee(s) must be immediately informed of the types of psychological interview tools, strategies, and models that will be used in the hiring process. Employers must provide website link that educates the interviewee regarding the model(s) to be used. Employers must provide interviewee with the scoring method and score that the employee received on the used assessment and how it factored into the interviewee being offered or denied employment. Employee or potential employee can determine how the assessment scores are used in the future, i.e., job references, etc.
Family and Child Care Education Relief Act This act will increase the family and child tax credit for every dollar spent on child-care, alternative education, daycare, college, and graduate school up to the age of 26 for anyone you pay tuition for.
One non-custodial family member, i.e., grandparents, etc., who provide unpaid childcare services, would qualify for tax breaks for children who are primary childcare givers during parental work hours. The non-custodial family member will be able to receive a to-be-determined tax break for one child only, regardless of the number of children this service is provided to. According to the Economic Policy Institute (October 2020)
Law Enforcement Malpractice Act Just as nurses, medical doctors, behavioral health practitioners, etc., can be listed on a state registry for practice malfeasance, this act will develop a national law enforcement malpractice registry that will list officers who have been reprimanded, sanctioned, fired, or found to be unfit for duty. Secondly this legislation will empower the Department of Justice to permanently revoke an officer’s ability to engage in the practice of law enforcement anywhere in the United States if deemed necessary for the public good. Any duly authorized attorney or para-legal will be able to become a registered user of this data base.
Right to Know Act Due to the emotional stress and trauma that a human being experienced when dealing with the unknown, and the act of, or the possibility of, being held against their will, law enforcement must immediately communicate why they are approaching you and must immediately inform you if you are being detained as a part of an official investigation. If you are not officially detained or arrested, you have the right to comply with the officer’s request, or deny the officer’s request without consequence, or be allowed to call legal counsel to aid you in making a legally informed decision.
Worker Protection Against Artificial Intelligence Act Artificial Intelligence is an area of computer science that emphasizes the creation of intelligent machines that work and reacts like humans. This act will require that workers be notified by their employer as soon as a decision is made by the employer to replace the employee with any form of artificial intelligence. Employees must be notified immediately if their work on the job is being tracked by artificial intelligence/machine learning. This will provide the employee with the protection of knowing far in advance if their particular skill set will at some point no longer be needed by their current employer. Also, support the Algorithmic Accountability Act being debated in Congress, granting the FTC authority to create regulations to check for racial and economic bias in automated decision-making systems.
