Where does Miguel Arellanes stand?
Fair Opportunity
I believe every person deserves the opportunity to earn a good living and provide for their family. I support policies that strengthen the working class, protect workers rights, and support small businesses while ensuring corporations are not put over the well being of the people of Missouri.
Healthcare
I believe healthcare is a right, not a privilege. I support protecting and expanding access to affordable healthcare for Missourians, especially our underserved rural communities.
Property Ownership
I believe everyone should own what they own without fear of losing their property, whether it’s real estate or not we should be able to pass something on to the next generation without risk or stipulations.
Education
I support strong public schools in every community. I believe the funding formula used by the State of Missouri is dated and doesn’t put personal growth/education over test scores. I support funding for public education, paying educators competitively, and expanding access to early childhood education. I support affordable college, vocational training, and workforce programs that set people up for success.
Reproductive Freedom
I believe decisions about healthcare belong between individuals and their doctors, not politicians. I support protecting reproductive freedom, including access to contraception and abortion care. I do not support government interference in personal medical decisions.
Civil and Voting Rights
I believe in equal rights and equal justice under the law. I do not support discrimination in any form and will support protecting the civil rights of every person in Missouri. I will defend voting rights and work to ensure elections are secure, fair, and accessible to all eligible voters.
Voter Initiatives
I believe the duty of our elected representatives is to listen to the people of Missouri and respect the choices made at the ballot box, that means no elected officials should be able to immediately overturn voter approved initiatives. Regardless of their personal beliefs.
Public Safety and Responsible Firearm Ownership
I believe Missourians deserve safe communities and responsible firearm ownership, I support law enforcement while also supporting accountability and public safety solutions. I believe in protecting responsible gun ownership and advancing commonsense gun safety measures such as background checks and prohibiting violent offenders from owning firearms to reduce gun violence.
Agriculture and Small Businesses
I believe Missouri’s farmers and rural communities are the backbone of our state. I support policies that protect family farms, I will stand up for fair markets and against corporate consolidation that hurts small businesses.
Accountability
I believe in honest, transparent government that works for all people not just those that can afford to manipulate it. I will maintain ethical and transparent practices throughout my time as a Candidate and an elected official if elected.
