Why Tara Nelson is Running
Tara Nelson is running for office as a firm and reliable vote to impeach the President for documented violations of the U.S. Constitution. She believes the Constitution is the foundation of our democracy and when it is violated, Congress has a duty to act.
Tara is committed to restoring constitutional checks and balances, enforcing the rule of law, and rebuilding public trust in government. She believes no president or administration is above constitutional accountability, regardless of party or politics.
Beyond accountability, Tara supports practical, common-sense solutions to the challenges facing American families. She supports immigration reform that is humane, fiscally responsible, and focused on safety—without wasting taxpayer dollars or putting lives at risk. She believes public safety is strongest when states and local communities lead, not when federal power overreaches.
Tara also supports serious healthcare reform so families are not forced into bankruptcy for basic medical care.
Finally, Tara rejects political violence and extremism in all forms and believes hate-based movements have no place in a free and democratic society.
Tara Nelson is running to bring steady, constitutional leadership back to Washington; leadership grounded in the rule of law, common sense, and respect for the rights of all Americans.
