Core message

Time is not neutral for children. When the system rewards delay, kids pay in stability and lost childhood.

Positioning: I’m not seeking authority over families, and I’m not running for salary or a political career.

What are you trying to change?

The incentives and timelines. We need faster child-impact decisions, fewer continuances, better early fact-finding, and transparency metrics that force the system to measure performance.

Is this anti-judge or anti-lawyer?

No. It’s about structure. Good people can’t overcome bad incentives. This targets delay, opacity, and procedures that reward escalation.

Is this about one case?

Experience exposed the failure, but the reforms are meant to apply to every family equally. This is systems reform, not outcome-seeking for any single case.

What does “sunlight, not punishment” mean?

Measure performance, publish metrics, and correct failures. Fix incentives and timelines instead of chasing spectacle.

What’s the shortest version of the initiative?

Faster child-impact decisions, fewer continuances, earlier fact-finding, and transparent accountability when delay causes harm.

Where can I read the whole draft?

Use the full-text page here: initiative-full.html. For the quick read: voter-summary.html.

How can people help?

Share the voter summary, share the open letter, and ask public officials to commit to timeline transparency and backlog reduction.
