Where Freeman stands

D.C. statehood and Home Rule: His campaign slogan is "No Representation, No Taxes." He proposes pushing for statehood through "direct economic action" and says, "If we don't have a voice, they don't get our money."
Federal taxes / representation: Supports federal income tax resistance by D.C. residents as a way to push for statehood. Says past delegates did not deliver statehood or voting rights.
Public safety: Calls crime and poverty "symptoms of systemic neglect." Proposes investing in jobs and mental health and ending the school-to-prison pipeline.
Housing affordability: Wants city budgets that put housing, health care, and education ahead of policing and displacement.
Economy and jobs: Proposes shifting the city's priorities "from corporate handouts to community investment."
