For State Senate 7
Why I’m Running
Most of us were raised to love our neighbors. Our politics have forgotten this.
My name is Jared Sluss, and I'm running for State Senate District 7. Because loving your neighbor isn’t a slogan. It’s a responsibility our leaders must reflect in the choices they make and policies they fight for.
I wasn't planning to run — but I couldn't stand the thought of the people I care about having no voice and no real choice in November.
Every year, our neighbors work more to earn less as groceries, rent, healthcare, utilities and childcare costs go up. The people in power seem to be content with talking points and band-aid fixes for wounds that go deep.
Meanwhile, the state of Alabama is choosing to spend our money to build the most expensive prison in American history at $1.2 billion and, by their own admission, it won't even fix overcrowding.
Those are our hard-earned dollars. Imagine what they could do for our kids education, healthcare, or housing?
Those aren’t our values and it's not what Alabama families deserve.
I graduated from UAB with a degree in public health and spent eight years trying to live my values out- working in affordable housing, neighborhood development, and small business ownership. I know what it looks like when a community is left behind — and I know what it looks like when people show up for each other.
You deserve a life you can afford and You deserve politics that reflects what you actually believe.
That's why I'm running.
Common-Sense Priorities
Your tax dollars should work for you — not against you.
Your nurse is underpaid while you pay more and more each year. We can fix it by expanding medicaid & enforcing transparency.
Your bills keep going up. What has Montgomery done to make your life more affordable and fight back?
It's time to eliminate the grocery tax, invest in affordable housing, and lower utility and insurance bills because you deserve live a life you can afford.
Right now, more than half of Alabama's 4-year-olds are on a waitlist for pre-K. At the same time, the state just spent over a billion dollars on a single prison which, by their own admission, one that won't even fix overcrowding. For $1.3 billion, we could have guaranteed pre-k was available to all kids for 6 years, not just the lucky ones. That's not a math problem. That's a values problem.
